Based off the Double Pendulum, we can confirm the Tackle is back (we knew the wall was back based off a Shingo picture). I very much doubt there's something between the Wall and Tarzan Rope so it looks like we have the full First Stage: 1. Quad Steps + 2. Rolling Hill 3. TIE Fighter 4. Orugōru/Music Box 5. Double Pendulum 6. Tackle 7. Soritatsu Kabe/Warped Wall 8. Tarzan Rope + 9. Lumberjack Climb 31's First Stage was 120 seconds, I feel as though we'll get 130-135 for this. No descent to the rolling hill correct?

However it looks like if one is supposed to jump over it directly from the first obstacle to the second, it might actually trip people. If someone is jumping so low off the Quad Steps that that piece of padding would give them issues, they'd be failing Rolling Hill even if that pad wasn't there

If someone is jumping so low off the Quad Steps that that piece of padding would give them issues, they'd be failing Rolling Hill even if that pad wasn't there Right however instead of simply hitting the rollers they would trip on the black piece and smash their face on them. I meant it could actually possibly be a health hazard if it isn't meant to be stepped on.

Doesnt it look like this stage 1 may be easier than last year? What do you guys think?

Doesnt it look like this stage 1 may be easier than last year? What do you guys think? No way. having to go from Quad Steps (which are the big steps from ANW rather than the regular ___dantobi obstacles Sasuke is used to) into the Rolling Hill is much harder than just a straight run into it, I mean TIE Fighter looks easier than Log Grip imo but that's just out of personal experience with being a good spider walker and I'm sure it will give problems, especially if someone has less than optimal shoes or picked up dirt on the lot, Double Pendulum definitely seems trickier than Jump Hang Kai especially based on seeing some of the fails that happened in LA on the Tick Tock and with the Giant Swing setup instead of the steel cable trapeze that transfer will likely be trickier to build up that momentum needed, and then staples like the Orugooru, Tackle, Soritatsu Kabe and Lumberjack Climb remain and we still don't know if the Tarzan Rope is still there or has been replaced by something else. I think the real issue comes down to the time limit since this is less of a speed course and more of a technique course based on the obstacles

I actually think the combination of steps into/onto Rolling Hill will take a few out early doors, more so than just failed the hill with a straight run up.Something about jumping off at an angle makes me think it would be harder, although, in counterance, I guess you'd hope to be higher up for you jump, assuming you got a reasonable attempt on the steps. EDIT: LOL, sorry Rider, must have been typing as you were finishing

Unless they changed the speed/sensitivity of the rollers, I expect a fair amount of fails at the Rolling Hill trying to transfer from the steps. I don't think it'll be the obstacle that gets the most fails, but I think like with Shingo and Takeda last year, it'll catch a big name by surprise. I definitely believe this stage is harder than 31's. There would have been more clears if the Tackle wasn't the leg strength killer it was meant to be.

I find the double pendulum hilarious coming from a man with a widely-known dislike for ANW obstacles. But all in all, credit to the producers, I think it's a good course and harder, if anything, than last year.

Not even just the Double Pendulum/Tick Tock connection, this is our legit first obstacle under the same name

The highest part of it is half way up the bottom roller... No one is hitting it that isn't already failing... Dude. We agree on that. I'm just saying that I'm not sure it's for safety as it may be more dangerous to have it than not if you aren't supposed to put weight on it.

Yeah the padding in between the steps and roller hill would be dumb. Just would make for awkward fails.

The point I'm making is no one is going to hit it unless they were already going down and at that point they're not putting weight on it they're being saved from smacking face first into a roller

He smashes his head on the Rolling Hill without the mat.

I wonder if the trapeze on the Double Pendulum swings so that you can build up momentum on it, or if it kills momentum so you have to dismount first time.

Just posted. Looks like the second stage is the same apart from this
The reverse conveyor is AFTER the back stream
