Northern Nightmare made its worldwide debut on November 30, 2011 in Toronto when it was unveiled at Rogers Centre along with its driver, Calgary-native Cam McQueen. The introduction of Northern Nightmare marked the first time in the nearly 30-year history of Monster Jam®, that a dedicated Canuck monster truck has been added to the tour.

Northern Nightmare was selected through the Name the Canuck Monster Truck national online contest that invited Canadians to offer up their best homegrown names. Entries were judged on a variety of criteria including originality, creativity, capacity to evoke Canadian pride, and ability to capture and reflect the essence of the Monster Jam Canada brand.

Cam McQueen’s Northern Nightmare is covered with red maple leaves on a black background and sports a Canadian flag. The truck weighs in at 10,000 lbs., is 11-ft. tall and 12 ft. wide, and sits atop 66-inch tall monster tires.

This year’s event will also feature a returning Grave Digger®, Crushstation, Superman, and for the first-time ever Maximum Destruction®.

The Party in the Pits on Saturday, June 2nd and Sunday, June 3rd from 10:30am – 11:45am gives fans the opportunity to get a view of the trucks up close and meet the drivers of the massive monster trucks.
