Dark Side of the Moon (Season 6)

Season 6's Dark Side of the Moon

Dark Side of the Moon is an obstacle, first used as the third obstacle in the Wipeout Zone of Season 6. It was interchanged with the Space Pod of Doom as the third obstacle throughout the season.

It is a rotating orb. Contestants must circle the planetary ring (starting from the white rectangle outline at the leftmost side) while avoiding two sweeper bars, climb the ladder to the top, and time their drop down the steep blind slide and through the center of the moon to the platform. They aren’t allowed to dismount from the planetary ring (as seen from Amanda Delgado in episode 12); they must climb the ladder and use the slide to reach the platform. This was a very difficult obstacle and might take at least two attempts to beat. The reason is because while most contestants timed it correctly, the speed and momentum were instead the issue.

Only five contestants crossed it on their first attempt:

It was replaced by Hell's Carousel in Season 7.
