List of Eliminator Obstacles - Finish Blocks

Finish Blocks

Used in the First Season of the US revival and the UK revival, the final obstacle in the Eliminator takes the form of a wall of foam blocks. The logo of the show is displayed on both sides. The winner is the first contender to break the center line of the blocks. On the other side of the blocks is a short drop (approximately four feet) onto crash pads. In the UK revival, the landing zone for the finish blocks is the same as the landing zone for the zipline, so several contenders have been forced to wait at the top of the Travelator platform until the landing area was clear before finishing the race.

Famous quotes containing the words finish and/or blocks:

    None can re-enter there—
    No thief so politic,
    No Satan with a royal trick
    Steal in by window, chink, or hole,
    To bind or unbind, add what lacked,
    Insert a leaf, or forge a name,
    New-face or finish what is packed,
    Alter or mend eternal fact.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Good blocks of oak it was I split,
    As large around as the chopping block;
    And every piece I squarely hit
    Fell splinterless as a cloven rock.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
