TheRetroStyle Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 New Weston, Hagerstown, and Stafford Springs have all been added to the list of Upcoming Shows. Also, the lineup announcement that everyone has been waiting for has finally been announced; the trucks competing in Australia this year are... Grave Digger Monster Mutt Dalmatian Dragon Max-D El Toro Loco (Color TBA, but looking at the Australian website, probably Yellow) Zombie Pirate's Curse Monster Energy Team Hot Wheels Firestorm Alien Invasion Gonna rate this year's lineup a 6.5 out of 10 for the following reasons: This year's lineup only has 10 trucks. Are they only going to Perth this year? It is very interesting, but it doesn't have a few trucks that absolutely deserve to compete in Aussie; Son-Uva, Mad Scientist, and Scooby. Also, R.I.P David Knisey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlawed Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Deserve means nothing when the company you work for (and who own your truck) tells you were to go. Hence why mediocre company drivers still get a shot at Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe2304 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Hobby grade RC giant Traxxas is sponsoring the Monster Truck Destruction Tour. There will also be full size versions of their X-Maxx, Craniac and Skully trucks. I'm interested to see if Traxxas will have new MTD related products. I know Bigfoot has some big stuff lined up with the company later this year as I spoke with Jim Kramer earlier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they stole a pic from a Monster Nation show to use for their advertising material. Classy. Edited May 16, 2016 by Jon Cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised. They're two steps from being a Steve Quercio show and I can't wait until the entire tour is just Bill Payne trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on this, I don't think there will be new shows for Monster Jam, but hopefully I'm wrong because I would love to finally have a stadium show in Utah. I wouldn't hold my breath honestly. Monster Jam ran at Rio Tinto Stadium (a fairly large MLS stadium for those not familiar) for one show probably like 6 or 7 years ago. By all accounts, it was not worth going. If I recall correctly, the stadium told Feld/LiveNation (can't remember if they'd sold MJ yet) that they needed to go easy to make sure that they didn't tear up the grass, so the officials were very trigger-happy with the RII. I also read that the attendance was not great so I doubt they'll come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably should've looked into it instead of relying on what I remember of an 8-year old MonsterMayhem thread. I don't really see the drivers going easy. It just seems like typical stadium freestyle for the time. Either way, there are a lot of empty seats in that building... It's actually worse than I remember.

I remember that show, they did a pooty job of promoting it beyond the area, I mean there was no mention of it on their website, and nevermind that the event was held midday (as far as I know it was the only show, it wasn't like El Paso where there's a day and night show) and that it was in summer so it was probably hotter than hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuzGrams Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 That Rio Tinto Stadium show wasn't officially a "Monster Jam" event technically. I'm guessing it was a Live Nation produced show that the soccer club or stadium did the marketing for. Looked like it had a decent line-up & good track.
