Stage 2 2nd obstacle is the Triple(!!!) Salmon Ladder. It looks like Stage 3 6th obstacle is the Birdhouses that people have been doing (hanging peg thing) but perhaps stationary and not swinging. Can't confirm that for sure. I also think the Walking Bar is back in the 7th slot.
Also yes, the Nail Clippers are the rotating cliffhangers from Cleveland. Yes but with way less rungs. 1 up, transfer, 3 up, transfer, 1 up.

[
It's a bunch of Cliffhanger ledges around a cylinder and the cylinders turns in place, and you have to keep turning it while holding onto the last obstacle until it hits a stopper. Then you can swing to the next one and repeat. Is that what the rolling Cliffhanger was, or was it more of a roulette cylinder but with cliffhangers?
Yeah, seems like that was pretty much the 8th obstacle in Cleveland. For the double big dipper, how difficult does it look? Depends, I'm actually not sure now if it's one bar or two. Two bars would make it significantly more difficult. Honestly it's all going to be down to the final dismount and if they can keep their momentum going

I didn't see holes in the birdhouses so I think they are the books where you only hold the sides. But I couldn't judge how thick they were so maybe they just haven't added holes...but regarding the walking bar, I don't believe there's room for it since the area it took up last year is now the books/birdhouses. But maybe it is the first half of the flying bar and they just use the same bar, it was tough to see exactly.
And regarding the triple salmon ladder...I wish they would completely redo it Like angle each salmon laddee back or make it a walking salmon ladder or something. Triple seems like double plus an extra transition.I hope they allow them to transition at any point

I promise there are holes in whatever those square blocks are supposed to be. As for the actual obstacle, your guess is as good as mine. Could just be scaffolding.

That looks tough. Is there a second bar or do they have to fly with the bar to the back half?

Holy crap, that looks fun. I'm having a Double Dipper built in my backyard as soon as I win the lottery.

My guess would be an exaggerated version of the wingnut obstacle from Daytona. Some form of chevron obstacle.

Don't know how passable it is to do though. Attachment Deleted

Two bars on the Double Dipper. I think that will be the big ninja killer this year. That could get ugly.

Seems like "big laches" is a theme this year. That could be really dangerous for the competitors and result in several shoulder injuries. Last year Ryan Stratus didn't ever raise his right arm when transferring to the second "squirrel." I read an interview with Jesse Graff where she claims that the wide grip on that obstacle injured one of her shoulders.
