What happens to all the obstacles when the show is over? do they reuse some of them in next seasons, store them, or destroy them. This also goes for sasuke. One thing that just popped in my mind, they should do giveaways of obstacles when they are done!

They're probably kept in a warehouse somewhere (probably california), which is why some obstacles return constructed exactly the same (and I assume brought overseas for the international spinoffs done by ATS), I assume some parts may be reworked for later use (I.E. how the Snake Crossing had used Dancing Stones mushrooms and springs). So I think they do hold onto those if they want to reuse them later on or modify them for future use. Sasuke probably has their own warehouse for storage as well, I know the reason 28 was such a minimalist course with every returning obstacle being built differently was because when Monster9 went bankrupt they had to liquidate all their assets, including the obstacles, so for Sasuke Rising when it was all in house by TBS they had to rebuild the whole course from scratch since they couldn't pull anything out of storage. I assume arsenette can elaborate more on the Sasuke side since that's off real information and not an educated guess like I made about ANW

Attachment Deleted Yeah I bet your right about the overseas cause this looks like the exact one from the Orlando region.

They are definitely reused. I know in Sasuke the history that Rider mentioned during the Monster 9 era was correct. One interesting thing on the Rising era the motor used for the hedgehog was reused for the music box. Many of the obstacles (the big ones) are in sections and are stored because it's cheaper than redoing. They replace parts when damaged (or if poorly designed). ATS reuses a lot and even sells them around the world now that they are taking over a lot of the spin offs worldwide.
