A Monster Truck show promising "adrenaline-pumping action" has been branded a "rip-off" after it featured just one truck."

RA Monster Events' "Motorfest" was billed as a weekend of "jaw-dropping stunts, heart-racing races, and massive tyre-crushing action"."

Families and petrolheads forked out £19-a-ticket to attend the two-day show at Wolverhampton Racecourse last weekend.

But the event was branded a "flop" by people who attended with dozens of customers demanding their money back."

Videos posted online show just one monster truck repeatedly failing to drive over two cars in the main arena.

Others were left disappointed with a brief eight-minute show and all truck ride-alongs were cancelled due to "operational issues"."

Stunned fans said commentators told the audience the vehicles were struggling to cope with the "terrain" despite the site being mainly flat."

Customers said one truck circled what resembled a "dusty car park" before eventually driving off. "

Shannon Hipgrave, from Penn, Wolverhampton, spent £85 on five tickets to take her truck-loving two-year-old son and family to the event.

She said: "We queued longer to get in the place than we stayed there, there was nowhere to sit and we couldn't see a thing."

"The event was such a let down, it was an awful experience."

Another mum who took her family to the show said commentators kept telling the audience the trucks were "limited" in what they could due to the terrain. "

The 43-year-old, who did not want to give her name, said: "It kept being mentioned by the commentator that the terrain limited them in what they could do."

"They had advertised a stunt man jumping on fire in the promotional videos, but that didn't occur. I am assuming it was due to it being slightly windy that day, so unsafe."

"It may be worth mentioning also, that on the Saturday we attended, I called the ticket provider to see if we could recoup the money back, and was advised I would have to the events organiser directly. "

"I submitted a message, as instructed, and have not heard anything back as of yet."

"The organiser promised several different acts comprising of bikes, stunts, and the biggest act being the monster truck. Also, there was supposed to be ride on monster trucks. "

"The acts were quite disappointing, seemed very limited and short. "

"The wait time for acts to be set up and started ranged from 40 mins, through to the longest wait being over an hour for the finale monster truck act."

"The final act only lasted eight minutes total after waiting over an hour. An announcement was also made to say that there were no ride-on monster trucks. "

"There was also no stunt involving a stunt man jumping off a platform on fire, and shown in the promotional video."

"I paid for four tickets at a total cost of £55.30. "

"I felt deceived that the 'show' was portrayed as a lot larger and involved a lot more than it actually did, and that certain things were missing, such as the ride on monster trucks."

Stef McArber took their wife and two children to the show and were expecting a demolition derby-style event.

But the family left disappointed when the truck show only lasted eight minutes and a forklift had to move some of the cars.

The 45-year-old said: "It should've been on grass or tarmac, the ground surface was awful. Its nothing like it was billed. "

"It was just a shambles, the kids were really disappointed."

"The most disappointing thing was the venue and the lack of organisation. A dusty, dirty carpark essentially. "

"Then the heat was unreal, there was nowhere to sit, no real shade and a bottle of water was £2. "

"We waited so long in the heat between the performances, it was very difficult keeping the kids entertained without spending more money."

"The worst party of the experience was probably the finale, the monster truck. One truck driving round and round and crushing four cars for around eight minutes. "

"When it drove off I was expecting another one to appear. I couldn't believe that was the end of the 'show'."

"We got early bird tickets, £12 each"

so £36 for the three of us, the 4 month old was free.

"But the truck was not impressive at all. There were lots of broken cars all lined up when we arrived. "

"We were expecting a demolition Derby type experience, lots of noise and crushing cars - our four-year-old was so excited."

"Before the monster truck show a forklift started moving the cars out the way. "

"He moved four to the middle and when the truck finally arrived it drove round and round and over the cars - it was so disappointing and all felt a bit flat."

Another mum said: "We left before even seeing the one and only monster truck as it was over 40 minutes late and we got fed up of watching them water the ground. "

"I have requested a refund but heard absolutely nothing back, but reading through past events this is an occurring theme."

Robert Cooper spent £32 to take his wife and son to an RA Monster event in Great Harwood, Lancashire, in June, but said it was "far from what was advertised"."

The dad said the crowded spaces and tight conditions made him feel unsafe and the stunt shows were missing.

He said: "I graft hard all week and look forward to the weekends with my two-year-old son and doing fun exciting stuff."

UK Monster Truck Rides, which supplied trucks for the organisers, said it decided to pull out of the show and any of RA Monster's future shows, claiming the "minimum requirements" were not met."

RA Monster Events is holding shows across the country in the summer including Tewkesbury, Norwich, Great Yarmouth and St Albans.

A statement on RA Monster Event's Facebook page blamed a former truck partner for withdrawing from the event at the last minute.

They said: "The decision to withdraw was made solely by the ride truck operator. "

"While we respect their right to make their own operational decisions, we must firmly correct the record: our event fully met all agreed safety and operational standards."

"RA Monster Events is committed to delivering an unforgettable and safe experience for families across the UK."
