Our Challengers decide to build a counter weight net system to try and catch a motorized Fly Scooter as it propels itself off an 80 foot ramp, 26 feet off the ground, at 40 MPH. If they catch the scooter, they each win one, but this is no easy challenge.
Challengers are trying to win a trip for two to Costa Rica. Their task: to save a 100-gallon aquarium from the forces of a level 5 hurricane, including torrential rain, 150 MPH plus winds and flying debris that hits with over 1700 pounds of force.
The prize is a years supply of beer from St. Pauli Girl, 672 bottles to be exact. But sitting 18 inches from the beer pyramid are 3 explosive charges packing a punch equal to a stick of dynamite. Their beer saving plan is huge and the clock is ticking.
In 48 hours a Gibson Les Paul will be torched by 100 pounds of thermite unless the Challengers can devise a plan to save it. Thermite will burn pretty much anything that crosses it's path, and a guitar is no match for this molten mess of destruction.
Sitting in a 20 foot tall slingshot is The Big Green Egg, the Rolls Royce of BBQ's. But in 48 hours our mega-slingshot will be released and the Egg will go flying, soaring over a minefield of 12 air cannons all aimed at the grill as it flies overhead.
A years supply of steaks will be laid out over 30-feet of concrete and doused with 300 gallons of boiling water seconds before a 7.5 ton steamroller drives over them. Our Challengers must build something that will keep their prize frozen and in one piece
An Open Air Cinema will have 24,000 pounds of steel dropped on it just seconds after two 400-pound battering rams rip the screen to shreds and three air cannons shoot gallons of paint. If any part gets splattered, smashed or shredded, they go home losers.
To win an Xbox Elite gaming system the Challengers must devise a plan to protect it from a 2000-pound car hurling off a ramp at 40 MPH, a floor doused with gasoline and flaming projectiles firing toward it. If they can save it, they each take one home.
To win 2010 NFL Pro Bowl tickets, the Challengers must maneuver a football dummy into the end zone 15 yards away, through three 50-gallon barrels filled with sand, 2000 degree flame throwers, rotating, solid steel tackling arms and 200 PSI fire hoses.
Three challengers have 48 hours to save a 50-inch plasma screen from destruction as it falls 55 feet onto steel spikes. The TV, which hangs by a piece of rope, will first be blasted with 6 flame throwers, burning through the rope and causing it to fall.
