Monster Jam scheduled to shred into Vancouver for monster truck experience

Do you like big trucks? Big wheels? Big air?

Monster Jam is dropping into Vancouver’s Pacific Coliseum National Exhibition with some monstrous trucks from Mar. 8 to 10 with an unscripted show ready to fill the stadium and empty the tank in high octane, pedal-to-floor excitement.

On the roster for the 2019 show is Monster Jam super-truck icon “Grave Digger,” driven by Tyler Menninga, 2018 Triple Threat Series East Champion; with World Finals Champion and Canada’s own “Northern Nightmare,” driven by Cam McQueen who is returning to Vancouver to compete for the first time since 2015; as well as two Vancouver truck debuts from “Jekyll & Hyde” (driven by Auston Minton) and “EarthShaker” (Steve Thompson) joining the show.

Also featured in the weekend special is “Zombie,” driven by Paul Strong; “Iron Outlaw,” driven by Tanner Root; “Time Flys,” driven by Kelvin Ramer; and “Wild Flower,” driven by Rosalee Ramer.

Monster Jam will open the super-truck action on Mar. 8 at 7 p.m., with the trained male and female athletes showcasing their physical strength, mental stamina, dexterity and mastery of the 12,000-pound beasts.

Saturday and Sunday events will also feature Pit Party pre-show experiences where fans can take a close look at their favourite super-trucks and have an opportunity to meet the men and women behind the wheel for autographs and photos.

The show will resume on Mar. 9 from 1 p.m. and 7 p.m., with a Pit Party open from 10:30 a.m. until noon, where drivers will continue to lift off ramps into high-octane backflips, walk on two-wheels and race at speeds exceeding 70-mph.
