Shark Attack, the T-Rex, and Outlaw might sound like biker nicknames or rides at an amusement park, but they’re actually a different kind of ride. The Travis County Expo Center’s venue will be filled with earsplitting engines as a lineup of monster trucks jump, flip, drift, and generally live up to their monikers. If you just have to see the towering trucks up close, buy a Pit Party ticket, and see the trucks on the arena floor and get autographs from the drivers. Aside from an appetite for danger, bring some earplugs. – Laura Rivera
