Well they're still calling it "Cliffhanger" there despite obviously inspired by the Ultimate Cliffhanger..
Also damn it.. "anbirikarukoodo" doesn't have any puns with function!"

From a lawsuits standpoint I can kind of understand that.. If they're prone to having injuries like that and they get hurt while attempting the course now who does that leave responsible?..

I'm such a geek for finding that awesome ain't I?.... XD Also more geeking out when they show the wide shot of the park (which either is open or is a preview for a bunch of people) it looked like I saw someone on the Unstable Bridge struggling to swing to get to the second board. Also it looks like the "anbirikarukoodo" (as my transliterator calls it) seems more to be more the Tarzan Rope from 10-12 over the Rope Junction.. Or maybe they combined the Tarzan Rope with the ANW Rope Swing thing maybe, if so.. well.. I doubt it would count as having a function  |

I watched the video and typically they had a weak girl failing almost immediately! I'd love to see UNCLI destroy this park  |

I copy and pasted the link they gave and put it in VLC. Worked better that way for me. Btw.. we got some serious issues with that rope junction name.. アンビリカルコード Anbirikarukodo UMBILICAL CORD??? |

Well whatever idea you have and how out of context it is.. Remember this.. However bad it is.. I can make it worse.. XD
Well desperately trying to steer this on topic... So... Good course..
EDIT: Dragged back down into the gutter but sorry.. I had to...
If boats are christened with Champagne.. I'm afraid to know what you christen a course with the "Umbilical Cord" with....
Wait.. Umbilical Cord.. Slick obstacles...
WAIT!! STOP!! DON'T TOUCH THE OBSTACLES!! GET A BLACK-LIGHT INTO MUSCLE PARK!!

Ok...back on topic.
Course looks good. I'm happy that they have a Salmon Ladder/Unstable Bridge combo obstacle in there. Also interesting that "Umbilical Cord" maybe the new name for the obstacle in stage 3.
A side note: They need to start getting better writers for the names. Either they are uncreative (Bridge Jump) or just weird, as seen here.

A little bit of a strange choice but weird is better than boring.
Most Japanese people won't associate the name アンビリカルコード with what English speakers would since they already have the word 臍帯/へその紐 (saitai/hesonohimo) for umbilical cord. It's an uncommon katakanization that most Japanese people wouldn't recognize.

Found a video Long live twitter.. (that's another tv station and not the one for that show but you get the point) news.hbc.jp/07161206.htmlSomeone buy me a ticket. That looks like a blast! However, I think they overdid it with the muscle park. At least at the original, most people had a shot at completing the Arm Bike. They don't have an "easy" obstacle here. |

Heh. I think jfeathe with the amount of people pwning the Odaiba course they are one upping it.  Thanks Ube for that update on the name.. though I'm sure they will get complaints or something from the English speakers I just hope it doesn't end up on Sasuke.. Btw they changed their main website now to better fit the Odaiba one. www.musclepark.jp/chitose/ |
