Walls
The American version of the Eliminator often incorporated 8 foot high walls into the Eliminator. The walls made their debut in Season 3, with one wall there for the entire season, and a second wall (this one with a step at the base) being added partway through. In Season 4, the wall was switched from an opaque wall to a wall covered in transparent plexiglass. All of the walls in the original series were not vertical, but steeply inclined. The first season of the revival used an 8 foot vertical wall at the beginning of the course. All of the walls used had ropes to assist the contenders if they needed them.

Famous quotes containing the word walls:
“A temple, you know, was anciently “an open place without a roof,” whose walls served merely to shut out the world and direct the mind toward heaven; but a modern meeting-house shuts out the heavens, while it crowds the world into still closer quarters.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The night in prison was novel and interesting enough.... I found that even here there was a history and a gossip which never circulated beyond the walls of the jail. Probably this is the only house in the town where verses are composed, which are afterward printed in a circular form, but not published. I was shown quite a long list of verses which were composed by some young men who had been detected in an attempt to escape, who avenged themselves by singing them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
