The rest of the course seems about the same except the Pyramid which wasn't there in the original series.[/quote]
There was an event called Pyramid, which started about mid-way through the show's run.

Yes, and to add to the prior comment, the beginning of Season Five is pretty much the dividing line where the original Gladiators jumped the shark, as the tone of the show changed drastically, Zsonka and many of the better-known Glads left, and generally the whole show was a lot less good. Pyramid was one of four(!) new events, and one of the changes to the Eliminator was to move the treadmill to the end of the course (where it tripped up a lot more contestants, because they were worn out at that point). I'd also be willing to bet it's not actually an escalator, but just a poor choice of words on the admin's part.
