Guys you REALLY wanted the real/full CCH right after that Rumbling Dice? Not the real deal, but if your going to call it the CCH then you have to take out that handicap ledge in the middle. Keep the 2 inch ledges but still have to make the swing, which would bring more suspense to the show. Just think of how much suspense it brought to Sasuke every time they swung to the other side. They would go to commercial almost every time. It would keep you on the edge of your seat. And that's why they call it the crazy cliff hanger. Haha

Guys you REALLY wanted the real/full CCH right after that Rumbling Dice? I certainly hope they don't... but sadly they probably do... Why is beyond me... It'd just be a case of Cannonball Alley or ANW3 Unstable Bridge round 2 of watching everyone make it to an obstacle and fail it...

I can see the POV of viewers (especially the more casual fans) enjoying the difficult obstacles such as Cannonball Alley, and that version of the Rumbling Dice. It's very interesting, and in a way suspenseful to see an obstacle demolish the competition and then have a Joe Moravsky or Elet Hall come along and finally defeat it. I'll admit I can see the appeal in it.
That being said, I'm going to agree with TCM that as far as a qualifying course goes, the way ANW has been designing these city final courses is ludicrous. There needs to be more of a speed element involved, and throwing in poorly designed versions of obstacles that make their success rates <25-50% imo defeats the real purpose of the qualifying course. Will ANW ever change their format? Probably not, but it is a little frustrating from a hardcore viewer perspective, and I'm sure even more so from a competitor perspective for the obstacles to be so poorly designed.

Guys you REALLY wanted the real/full CCH right after that Rumbling Dice? I would have loved it. And im sure a few of us finishers would have made it.

They also need to do a better job of balance between regionals like Miami I love the Curtain slider but they had it in the wrong location as the 5th obstacle which allowed way to many clears. Does anyone know if they are changing it out in the next round ?
I do like that they have the salmon ladder as the first obstacle after the warped wall on all the extended course that separates the completion because it is no joke and we see it chew up vets and rookies alike.

Yeah, people would stop trying the CCH and just try to get there as fast as they can...

They've been doing this for years but no one ever had a problem with it before...

Ok so I think I was the one who started this whole rage...I apologize. I just think that with the difficulty of the rumbling dice you're not gonna see lots of people who can do that and can't do the cliffhanger. While in Venice, if you made it through the Cannonball Alley you now have the Body Prop a very tough obstacle. In Dallas, we have the Swinging Frames then the Pole Grasper which is very difficult. I just want to see a little more balance between cities.

I remember one of the older ANW's (either 2 or 3) had a set of 5 jumping bars in qualifying, then 4 in finals
Also given the size of the water tank, having the real CCH would be an accident waiting to happen

I didn't mind the ANW CCH being easier than the Sasuke CCH. I just think that, unless you are going to replicate an obstacle, you shouldn't copy the name of it.
