Ultimate Beastmaster - Filmed on Abandoned Wipeout Set
New show filmed about six months ago set to air sometime in January on Netflix, according to them.
The premise is that six national teams (USA, Brazil, South Korea, Mexico, Germany and Japan). Sorry Dan, too late to tell Jamie However, Yuji is trying out so pumped about that.
Stats:
-10 episodes
-108 competitors; 18 from each country
-First 9 episodes each have 12 competitors in them (two from each country)
-Finale episode will feature the nine "Beastmasters" who won the previous episodes
-The course will name "The Beast" and a giant monster head fits in somewhere - not sure if it's an obstacle or backdrop
-The course is filmed on Sable Ranch - likely using the empty pools from Wipeout
They are already casting season 2 (with only the US returning and different countries as other teams). However, a big problem is a very sad thing. The set we've all known and loved for eight years was attacked by a fire a couple months ago and all the trees around it and the movie houses in the background have burnt down. Not sure about the course's pool lining though. That's sad
And it's made by the same people who created ANW4, ANW5, ANW6, ANW7 and ANW8, so get excited

Re: Ultimate Beastmaster - Filmed on Abandoned Wipeout Set
I really like the sound of this, let's hope it doesn't disappoint.
What the hell is a Beastmaster though!?

I have no idea! I suppose it's just a title meant to make it "cool" (it doesn't). I'd rather a straight up title like Ninja Warrior than a random title made of words for a ninja
But yeah, sounds really good. I want to show you some pictures:

The set (looks really woodsy and I like the look of the snake-monster-dragon thingy):

Ouch the fire (quite sad):

Re: Ultimate Beastmaster - Filmed on Abandoned Wipeout Set
That set does look cool though, even if the title isn't. It's going to be a bit strange if they're using the Wipeout pools. Like a ghost of what used to be.

Re: Ultimate Beastmaster - Filmed on Abandoned Wipeout Set
Oh yeah who cares about the title; the main thing is the event itself!
Certainly will be odd looking at though, and I'll be doing the exact same thing I do watching Ninja Warrior - looking for the old pools and where stuff was.

Re: Ultimate Beastmaster - Filmed on Abandoned Wipeout Set
Whoever actually owns the set still use it for all sorts of things I think. One of the pages I follow on Facebook posted this a little while of some kind of commercial shoot taking place in a familiar looking location!

Re: Ultimate Beastmaster - Filmed on Abandoned Wipeout Set
because that link just takes me to a post from 2012 about a commercial on a lake (not even the commercial). Unless that lake's at the ranch, but still see it as a long time ago.
Have I missed something here?
Probably won't have many commercials now though, unless it's for a zombie appocolypse

Re: Ultimate Beastmaster - Filmed on Abandoned Wipeout Set
Sounds like Facebook is being awkward, here's a screenshot of what I was trying to show!
That being said, looking at the picture, I can't really tell if it's a recent pucture or if it's from a while ago.

Re: Ultimate Beastmaster - Filmed on Abandoned Wipeout Set
Oh, I see!
I have to say, you'd think they'd choose a better location than a giant pool. Unless they positioned the camera so you didn't see it was a pool, and got the illusion it was a lake? Looks recent with no trees covering the incline in the background!

Re: Ultimate Beastmaster - Filmed on Abandoned Wipeout Set
Can anyone make anything out from the pictures we've seen of the snake?
I see a red circle near the back so I'm thinking possibly Rolling Escargot - but probably not!
