Experience the thrill of the UK's only US Spec Monster Truck! WIth 6 foot tyres and a 6.5L Engine, this is one huge Monster Truck for you to handle!

Monster Truck Experience Days: Experience a driving activity from the world of giants! 'The Grizzly' is an American Spec Monster Truck that provides an incredible amount of power and scope for Off Road Driving, as the 6foot tyres are capable of going up & over anything in their way, especially with a 7.5L engine powering them! The giant Monster Truck makes for an amazing driving experience, as you power and throttle your way around a challenging off road track, driving over cars and many other obstacles that would normally prove a problem for road cars...but not 'The Grizzly'!

Your day will begin with a thorough safety briefing covering all aspects of the 'Grizzly' and the course that you will be driving. Once you have climbed all the way up to the driving cock-pit you will begin your experience by appreciating how small everyone looks from up there. Then you will be driving the truck across the muddy course, with bumps and mounds as standard for your gigantic driving pleasure. On top of this, you will also get to reverse the Grizzly into a coned garage, showing you just how impractical - and incredible - this monster really is. Enjoy!

(12/03/2014) Overall great experience if not a little short. Disappointed at driving an hour and a half to get here early so as not to miss appointment only to be kept waiting for a late arrival (hannah!) who showed up 20 minutes late then strolled around without a care in the world when she got there! Nothing was said to her and she kept her appointment, why should the rest of us be kept waiting when we made the effort to be there?

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the time at the centre, however I feel it could have been improved by providing some kind of certificate (just for fun) afterwards to say you have driven Grizzly. Just a silly momento but would have definately completed the day and experience.

Monster Truck Ride With Leisure Pursuits

leisure-persuits-1

Last weekend we had the amazing opportunity to meet Grizzly – the 4.5 tonne, 7.5 litre V8 Chevrolet Monster truck! She has 5ft 5inch wheels and can crush cars, fly over mounds, climb steep hills and make great speed. Grizzly is a genuine retro American-born ’96 model Chevrolet Silverado, and can get up to 1700 horsepower when racing. We chose the passenger ride experience, but you can also learn how to drive Grizzly yourself and share the driving experience with others!

We set off from Brighton and drove to Blackland Farm in East Grinstead, which despite being in the country was surprisingly easy to find. Blackland Farm is a large activity centre site with several other activity centres in the same area. This gave it a friendly and exciting atmosphere.

Leisure Pursuits’ meeting point was clearly sign posted and we made it down to the designated car park where we were met by one of the instructors, Daryll. He took us down to the site in a 4×4 Jeep through the forest. We didn’t drive for long but it was still a fun experience as the Jeep was very bumpy, and it got us even more excited for the Monster Truck! The site was a huge open field on one side of a small forest featuring a stationary bus, which contained a seating area and fresh tea which we were encouraged to help ourselves to.

Once everyone had arrived, we were taken through the different parts of the truck and were briefed on the history of how Grizzly got to the UK. Believe it or not, Grizzly has made appearances in several TV shows and adverts, including ‘Don’t Tell The Bride’, ‘The One Show’, ‘Top Gear’ and the recent ‘McDonalds’ advert. Once we knew more about this world famous American classic, it was time for the safety briefing. We were provided with helmets and shown into our seats. There were eight seats in the back of the truck and as a kind gesture I was lucky enough to sit in the front next to the driver!

The rest of the group got in by climbing a tall ladder, showing off just how tall the truck was. Feeling a little nervous, and not knowing what to expect of the ride, we were off before we knew it! Tim (our driver) put his foot down and floored it – the monster truck raced over the huge hill and as the grass was wet we skidded here and there which made the whole experience even more exciting. Our adrenaline was pumping as we drove through ditches, over steep hills and in-between fields, making sharp turns left and right to give us that true ‘roller coaster’ style ride. The best bit was saved for last as we drove over two cars! Making our way back to our set off point, hearts still pounding and faces aching from smiling, we were so excited to have experienced such an amazing Monster Truck ride.

Huge thank you to Daryll and Leisure Pursuits for a fantastic day in the countryside, and to Grizzly for being such a lovable beast! There are plenty of monster truck experiences available, from drives to passenger rides to off-road combos, you’re guaranteed to find the ultimate grizzly gift that’ll never be forgotten.
