Diggers Dungeon is one of the coolest attractions I've ever been to, mainly because I'm a HUGE monster truck enthusiast. Grave Digger has ALWAYS been my favorite monster truck, dating back to around 1988, when I started watching the monster trucks on TV. Fast forward to the 1990's and Diggers Dungeon was created to give fans a place to visit and check out the shop. Now, it's a very popular destination for monster truck fans and folks who are visiting the Outer Banks in North Carolina.
Although Grave Digger's advertised home town is Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, the shop is actually located in Poplar Branch. We loved the Diggers Dungeon, the old Grave Digger trucks outside and the new Digger trucks inside the shop. Next we went to Digger's Diner, where our waitress was Krysten Anderson, one of Grave Digger's drivers and daughter of Dennis Anderson. What a cool memory! Then, we checked out the monster truck ride, which was absolutely awesome. Way more intense than I imagined!
Thank you so much to ‪@RyanAndersonMT‬ for keeping this place rocking for so many years. I really want to go back sometime and do a full tour of the place, and I'd love to talk more about the history of Grave Digger. For now, enjoy our tour during vacation, and stay tuned for more videos soon!

Very cool video! The truck backing in the shop at 1:55 is actually King Sling #2 and yes that old body hanging in the shop was from Digger #3 from 1990. The 20th Anniversary body was from Digger #14. Love going to the Dungeon. Definitely a must if your in the area! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, we've experienced the daily Florida thunderstorms and those usually leave out by evening time. We definitely didn't time this one right...a front was just sitting on top of that area for a few days. We did get one good sunny day, but it was still unusually cool. Still a fun trip and we definitely want to go back!

The trip was super fun, but we got hammered with rain and storms for most of our three-day stay on the Outer Banks. I guess our timing wasn't super great, but we still made the most of it. I wish I would've had an inside connection to go check out the fab and assembly shops out back. That would've really been cool to see.

Yeah, there are multiple buildings on the property where they build and maintain the trucks. Most of the trucks owned by Feld Entertainment (owner of Monster Jam and owner of Grave Digger) are stationed at this shop. They build the chassis, engine, etc. there. I hope to go back and tour the whole place someday.
