What Happened to the Monster Patrol Monster Truck?

The Monster Patrol Monster Truck was an iconic piece of pop culture during the late ’90s and early 2000s. The truck featured a giant monster painted on the side, and it was driven by a team of fearless drivers who performed stunts and tricks at various events.

The truck was part of the Monster Patrol tour, which traveled across the U.S. and Canada performing live shows at stadiums and other venues. Many people remember the show fondly, but what happened to the monster truck?

The Monster Patrol tour officially ended in 2006 after a series of unfortunate events caused its demise. First, in 2004, one of the trucks flipped over during a performance due to driver error, injuring several spectators. This caused public outrage, and soon other venues began refusing to host Monster Patrol shows due to safety concerns.

In addition to this issue, ticket sales had been declining for several years prior to this incident due to increased competition from other touring acts. As a result, many of the drivers involved with Monster Patrol were forced to find new jobs or pursue other opportunities.

Despite all of these setbacks, some members of the original team have continued to honor their commitment to Monster Patrol. In 2008, they started their own website dedicated to keeping alive the memory of their beloved monster truck.

Conclusion:

Despite its popularity in the late ’90s and early 2000s, the Monster Patrol Monster Truck has since disbanded. After an unfortunate accident that caused injury to spectators in 2004 combined with declining ticket sales due to increased competition from other touring acts, many members of the original team have had to move on and find new jobs or pursue other opportunities. However some members continue to honor their commitment by keeping alive its memory via their website dedicated exclusively for it.
