This year’s show will run from October 16 until October 19, featuring rides and attractions, competitions, showbags, food and more.

Joining this year’s entertainment lineup is Matt Mingay and the Hot Wheels Stunt Team for a Hot Wheels Semi-Trailer Activation and Kids Fun Zone.

As part of the activation, children will have two giant Hot Wheels tables to play on all the latest track sets, a free colouring in station and a huge range of merchandise available.

Mr Mingay, an Action Sports Athlete and Team Director, said the team would also be turning up the heat at the annual event and delivering some extreme super truck shows competing for the title of Ultimate Hot Wheels Hero.

“You’ll see huge jumps, maybe even some cheating, some tackling, but it’s all in the name of fun.

“It will be the first time we’ll be down at the Geelong Show, so we’re really looking forward to it, it’ll be a great weekend.”

“We always love to see how well the crowd reacts to our performances, in between each race we have a dance off competition.

“Here’s a shout out to all the dancing fans out there, the best dance tricks win a free Hot Wheels Show Bag, so I want to see you all up the front with your best dance moves.”

The Hot Wheels attraction is the perfect family show suited for kids of all ages – including adults.
