Ah, I like these new obstacles.
Those "playground wheels" are going to be deceptively difficult, as its pretty hard to gain any sort of forwards momentum once you are hanging at the stable equilibrium point. If those are spaced far enough, looks like people will be forced to complete the transitions all in one fluid motion.
Is the knob wall made up of just those few fixed pieces? If so, seems like quasi-rock climbing and could be technical as balls.

Just got the call from NBC yesterday! Long time fan of the show and I finally decided to train and make a submission video. Please add me to the list of competitors! =)

It's amazing that people can wait days upon days just to get chance to compete on ANW but they still have to pay people to fill in the gaps in the audience.  ? |

Is that silk slider drop going to be just like the one from Vegas last year? That thing took out a ton of competitors...

I wonder if this is going to be a theme for every regional? Do we have any pics of the double rumbling dice? I'm kind of curious.

LOL apparently the vertical limit photo was photoshopped. Here's a screengrab of the real obstacle from the Venice HD cam courtesy Brian Kretsch.  |

Aahahahahaha photoshopped? Good Lord. You guys are giving people coronaries! Btw I'm laughing at the Venicecam. I'm sure someone is trying to turn the camera away from there. Poor NBC intern assigned to this task! LOL Brings back memories.  |

I like how they think that the Rumbling Dice went so well the first time, they've added another.
