Monster Jam Thunder Alley at Cedar Point!
Monster Trucks have arrived at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio! Monster Jam Thunder Alley is a limited time event happening May 18th-June 30th. The event is FREE with Cedar Point admission!
We had the opportunity to see Monster Jam Thunder Alley and we’re so excited to share about this awesome family experience! As if roller coasters weren’t enough reason to come to Cedar Point, trust us when we say that THIS is an experience you don’t want to miss.
Thunder Alley
As we entered Thunder Alley, we were met left and right with Monster trucks! Each truck is set up for great photo opportunities, we could even sit INSIDE some of the monster trucks! The unique personalities of each truck was displayed in fun ways- from the smoke steaming from the nostrils of El Toro Loco to the moving zombie hands of Zombie.
And, of course we couldn’t resist doing some Baby Shark dance moves in front of Megalodon!
Monster Jam Garage
Next, we checked out the Monster Jam Garage, where we had a true interactive experience with the inner mechanics of the trucks! We got a kick out of turning ginormous tires on an axle. Those tires are 645 pounds! There are other hands on experiences that show how the 1,500-horsepower engine works, how the trucks’ shocks absorb landings and seeing a transmission in action!
Monster Jam Pit Stop Play Area
Our kids LOVED the Monster Jam Pit Stop Play Area! They didn’t want to leave! This area is a big sand box filled with small-scale replica Monster Trucks to play with! The pit also has tires and ramps for their imaginations to play wild while playing with their trucks.
BONUS: the Pit Stop Play Area is completely covered under a tent, so you don’t have to worry about the blazing sun or rain on your little ones!
Monster Jam Build-a-Truck
The Monster Jam Build-a-Truck area is a space for kids to build their own mini-truck! Safety goggles and mini-hammers are available to use. We decided not to build ours on site, but took ours home to build later!
NOTE: There is a small fee for this activity.
Monster Jam Freestyle Ride Truck
Have you had the chance to ride IN Monster Truck?! Monster Jam Thunder Alley gives guests an unforgettable experience like no other at their Freestyle Ride Truck Experience. Grave Digger and Megalodon are outfitted to take 10 passengers on a freestyle-inspired course- over bumps, ramps, and spinning around turns! Hearing (and feeling!) the roaring of the engine along with the motion of the truck on the course gave us a true Monster Truck experience. It was a WILD ride!
The boys rode on Grave Digger (because Eli’s favorite color is green, of course) and us girls chose to ride Megalodon (because Selah loves blue)! We had to do a little switching since we had our toddler with us, and one of us had to stay back with her.
NOTE: Riders must be 36” to ride and guests under 54” must ride with a supervising adult.
Our VIP package gave us our requested time slot for our ride, so we didn’t have to wait in line at all! For those who didn’t purchase a VIP package, no worries! The ride is free, but you do have to wait in line.
TIP: Arrive at Cedar Point right when it opens and head straight for this attraction for minimal wait time.
