Things will be positively “glowing” inside the Mullins Center this weekend.
Kids, and adults, too, can light up the arena with their own glow sticks as part of the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Glow Party which roars its way into Amherst for two days beginning Saturday, April 13.
Showtimes for the event, produced by Family Entertainment Live, are 12:30 and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 13, and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 14.
Audiences will be entertained by a thrill show featuring their favorite Hot Wheels Monster Trucks including Mega Wrex, Tiger Shark, Demo Derby, Bone Shaker, Bigfoot, Gunkster, and the newest to the lineup HW 5-Alarm, the firetruck hero of Hot Wheels Monster Trucks.
The Glow Party production features a spectacular laser show, dance parties, and Hot Wheels toy giveaways. Fans can also witness a special appearance from a transforming robot, as well as the high flyers of Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Freestyle Motor Team.
“Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Glow Party continues delivering the ultimate fan experience to families across the country,” said Julie Freeland, senior director of Global Location Based Entertainment at Mattel. “This exhilarating show offers so many unique surprises, amazing glow effects and larger than life moments. We’re excited to bring the tour to more cities than ever before.”
