I suspect the Rumbling Dice is there for the city finals, I'm just not sure if it's replacing the Rope Maze or the Cliffhanger

Just wondering, why do you say they won't have the cliffhanger again? Too many fails? or not enough or something?
And OK fine... you're not captain obvious... (You're deputy duh) *runs away again*

I wonder if they'll set up the steps like Venice. They originally had 6 steps and then the landing, but when it was all dry it was really easy for the testers, so they made it 5 steps and then the landing (which a decent jump from the final step to the landing), which actually was pretty tough when it was wet. Some people said a quarter of the folks failed there, and others said it was much higher.

Hopefully they bring back the 6th step for the other regions

I know it's just the picture, but that rumbling dice looks enormous. Baltimore seems to have some of my favorite obstacles. All we need now is the back stream!

Those rumbling dice DO look enormous. Wouldn't that be magnificently f***ed up? Just an absolutely giant set of rumbling dice?

So I guess I can't say 100%, just highly probable Well this is the first time the city finals has had 4 addition obstacles instead of 3. ANW1: Tarzan Rope, Jumping Bars, Cargo Net ANW2: Salmon Ladder, Circle Slider, Cargo Net ANW3: Salmon Ladder, Unstable Bridge, Cargo Net ANW4: Salmon Ladder, Arm Rings/Lamp Grasper/Cycle Road, Cargo Net ANW5: Salmon Ladder Rope Maze (Venice), Cliffhanger (Venice), Spider Climb

The Prism Tilt is either the 2nd or 3rd obstacle, and the 4th obstacle doesn't have the Hang Move/Chain Swing's scaffolding.

Very loose speculation: 1. Quintuple Step 2. ?? 3. Prism Tilt 4. ?? 5. ?? 6. Warped Wall 7. Salmon Ladder 8. Rope Maze9. Rumbling Dice 10. Spider Climb In the picture I linked, there's a vertical beam across the 5th obstacle so it looks like the Handlebar Swing is out

Love how this year the courses are more spread evenly in terms of speed and strength obstacles.

Obstacle #5 I am guessing. Would use that vertical support beam we IDed in another photo for obstacle 5. This is a brand new made-up obstacle, huh? Never seen it before.

Looks like some twisted fusion between the Arm Rings, Swing Circle, Metal Spin and Rope Junction. I assume you have to swing on that ring (which looks small enough that it's a one handed thing), grab the chain and reach for the next ring, probably alternating sets of that.
Looks interesting to say the least. I feel kind of amazed I'm going to see a completely new obstacle first hand
EDIT: I just realized the perfect way to describe what I was trying to say... It's like Cycling Road with different grips

So he course seems to be this based on current information 1: Sexuple Steps (either 5 and a jump or retuning to the original 6 from venice) 2: (assuming spider slider stays, log grip may be ressurected if the shoulder issue was serious) 3: prism tilt 4: hazard swing 5: chains and rings (placeholder description name of world premiere obstacle, appears simolar to cycling road in use) 6: Warped Wall City finals: 7: Salmon Ladder +8: Rope Maze 9: Rumbling Dice 10: Spider Climb
