The Amphiseum is a racetrack located just outside of Las Vegas. It was first introduced in Wipeout Pulse, and reappeared in Wipeout HD as part of the Fury expansion pack. It is also one of the five locations appearing in Wipeout Merge.

Description[]

The natural extension of Las Vegas, The Amphiseum was built for entertainment and the AG track that winds its way around this hub sure doesn't disappoint. Weaving around colossal stadia and iconic monoliths, it winds it's way through tight hairpins, a mag-strip hill then a sheer drop back to the finish line. It is one of the few tracks in Wipeout Pulse with different layouts for the White and Black Runs. In this case, there is a split track, depending on the direction of the race.

Wipeout Pulse[]

White Run[]

Over 5.4 kilometres, The Amphiseum's glass floor leads into the U-turn separated spectator runs, and the mag hill, then curving long and right before the spectacular return down to the grid. This is entertainment.

Black Run[]

The natural extension of Las Vegas, The Amphiseum is a city built purely for entertainment. This immodest circuit runs for 6 clicks and contrasts the searchlights and towers of another busy night with the thrall of the masses. It never looked better.

Landmarks[]

Quantic Shift[]

This spectacular stadium is the start of the track. The excitement from this section is different depending on the direction of race. Backwards, you go straight down-then-up in a mag-strip dip; forwards, you're set for a approx. 15m drop from the highest point on the track. This is the biggest drop in Wipeout Pulse.

Quadriga Rush[]

The second of The Amphiseum's stadia, and located on a memorable piece of track. This is one of the few 180 degree hairpins seen in AG racing history. You could even see your opponents on the opposite side. Good timing and side-shifting skills is key.
