Could be a fatter Spinning Log. If it's constantly spinning, cold be a great obstacle.

Sorry the cross reference with the Inui thread on the Sasuke 29 forum where he sent me a picture through twitter that was a "surprise" for ANW. No one can make heads or tails of it.. LOL Pretty sure that isn't an ANW surprise. The picture was definitely taken at Midoriyama, and since the Sasuke 29 taping is really soon it's more than likely an obstacle test for Sasuke 29. I think they'll probably bring back the Barrel Climb and/or the Rapid Descent.

I first thought Inui was photo shopping it.. I'm still confused overall as to what that picture was/is. I'm curious when that announcement will be and what the content is. TBS, Inui (Folcom) had a meeting (again check around the same date of that tweet and go backwards) with Comcast. I was hoping to hear that it was directly tied to Sasuke but no.. it was ANW. Then that photo showed up. It's clearly Midoriyama but it was tied to ANW. They test all kinds of stuff all the time there and plenty of time to take it down whatever it was. We still have a few weeks until ANW's final tapes.. but I'm really curious wtf that was.

Could just be a giant balance tank..... 15 feet in the air? Good reason to not fall off.... LOL the fright factor might be the whole obstacle.

For those who remember from last year, do we know how early they start building Vegas' course? I know Sasuke takes about 10 days for a well oiled machine.

I think we started seeing pics about a week before filming dates and that was the set up tower among others so I think construction starts before then

Would have loved to but I can't afford the vegas trip... At least I got the Baltimore tester experience which was awesome

Kerry Collins posted one in the comrades group but I can't see it since Im not his Facebook friend! Bogus! Almost 3 weeks out and they are starting already is kind of crazy but smarter since last time they were still waiting for paint to dry the day before lol.

Sabrina said testing was starting on the 17th (ish) so they need to get the course up probably a week ahead of time. That being said, they had 1 week to set up a regionals course and 2 week to set up the finals, so it'll be a time crunch for sure.

Let me guess strat, the paint drying a day before was during tester day? I know the sides of the rumbling dice in baltimore were being painted in the morning of testing day. Wasn't even up on the supports when we were going over the rules on the obstacles (it was dried and on the track by the time all of us got that far, well aware of that lol )

Hmm. That's not the same lot. Close, but the lot last year is behind the sign. Maybe its a staging area.

It's the same area right across from the Luxor. Should have the same backdrop as last year I assume.
