I assumed it was a new poster, then I saw a join date of 2009. Kinda silly to have multiple accounts IMO.
Anyway, I'm guessing Nova, but I have no clue.

-Red Mats are a given -Step Slider is basically "confirmed" due to the structure. -Rolling Escargot is probably the second obstacle, but seems to have a much shorter track than before. -There appears to be some sort of balance obstacle after the Snail... but no sure -I don't see any sign of the Jumping Spider. -In the 1st photo the end of Stage 1 (If it is that) seems much different

Are you guys looking at the same pics I am?.. 1: I see a view from in a tent with the audience seats in the way with a hint of steps 2: A View from behind all the tents where you can see the final stage 3: A night shot where you can see the tower sort of
Are you guys hiding pics somewhere?

Everyone who 'sees' the obstacles are looking at the 1st pic.

Everyone who 'sees' the obstacles are looking at the 1st pic. Oh... Well in that case I went into overkill zoom and yeah, I see the escargot, although it looks like obstacle 2 and they're taking platforms up (Remember how you pretty much had to go up stairs to get to the Log Grip). Although I think it's way too overkill to put as obstacle 2.. Especially with the track looking not as steep as even V2... That means it's going to roll slower and you're going to have more time upside down... then again more time to recover while facing up but still...

A slow rolling escargot isn't technically an easier RE.... the inertia probably helps somewhat.

If it ends up being slower, the higher rate of recovery would make the obstacle less lethal I'd imagine.

I wasn't responding to your post directly, just the fact that the RE would be going slower. Or else I would've quoted you.

I really hope they increase the time limit or remove an obstacle. David absolutely flew through the first stage in 26 and still only had 20 or so seconds left.
I also pray the Rolling Escargot is less steep (not the track, but the wheel).

That doesn't seem appropriate to you? 22 seconds is quite a while in 1st stage time.
