Scaregrounds

The Scaregrounds are an obstacle, used as the second round in Summer Wipeout of Season 5, replacing Pain in the Ice from Winter. It was interchanged with the Hangover throughout the rest of the season.

First, all twelve contestants will start together on a spinning platform. Then at the sound of the horn, they’ll grab a rotating trapeze, swing over the sweepers, and land on the revolving planks before riding them around to a second spinning platform. But they’ll have to watch out for the Signwinder, because it’s spinning too. Then they must jump to the Spinning Slide, climb up the ladder, and time their drop down onto the finish platform, which has a rumble bridge attached to it that they must fight through. The first six contestants to make it through move on to the next round.

It was replaced by both Octopushy and the Miami Pound Machine in Season 6.
