Where is 'Cannonball' on USA filmed? Co-host Rocsi Diaz mentioned the insane stumbling blocks and the most surprising moments solely with Distractify.

If you ever laughed at the fails on Wipeout otherwise you discovered your self gripped by contestants trying to stay off the purple goop on Floor Is Lava, then you'll want to tune into USA's newest competition collection, Cannonball. Co-hosted by way of Entertainment Tonight and 106 & Park alum Rocsi Diaz and WWE superstar Mike "The Miz" Mizanin, Cannonball is a water obstacle show not like another.

For every of the 10 episodes of the summer collection, contestants will try to navigate water stumbling blocks in the hopes of winning the $10,000 prize. The path is no comic story — except for, maybe, to those who get to observe it from the comforts of house.

From going down a 70-foot mega slide to getting launched in the air through, you guessed it, a cannonball, the athletes are pushed to their physical limits.

Along with sideline reporter Simon Gibson, Rocsi and The Miz are guiding the viewers and the avid gamers through the epic water obstacles. There will surely be a large number of laughs, epic belly flops, and suspenseful moments. 

Rocsi spoke completely with Distractify forward of Cannonball's debut on USA about her experience with internet hosting the epic summer show, and what the set was like in person. 

As for what audience can expect to see, Rocsi had one epic tease. 

"One of the most unexpected moments involved a speedo and our flying cannonball. Just think of the Miley Cyrus video [for 'Wrecking Ball']," she mentioned. "That's all I can say."

Where is 'Cannonball' on USA filmed?

Though the water route was once uniquely constructed for Cannonball, the show used to be filmed at the aquatic heart at Hansen Dam Recreation Park in Los Angeles, Calif.

Many waterparks and quintessential warm weather spots are closed for the summer because of the novel coronavirus pandemic, however observing the shenanigans go down on the Cannonball set may be able to fill the void. 

"I honestly hope that our viewers not only have an amazing time with their families while watching Cannonball, but most importantly that they know it doesn't matter what your age, race, or body type is — you can really do anything you put your mind to," she explained. "Including our crazy challenges." 

She also added that viewers can expect to look a lot of "belly flops, swimsuits, laughter, and more. It just is the perfect summer show." 

When Rocsi first noticed the Cannonball set, she was more than somewhat inspired. 

"My first reaction when I saw the obstacle course was like 'Wow. I want to try everything'. Our set design team needs an Emmy for what they created in the water lagoon," she exclusively instructed Distractify. "It was spectacular."

The direction itself is surely intimidating (image a seven-story water slide that launches contestants into the air at upwards of 80 miles according to hour) but Rocsi mentioned that there was once one impediment in particular that idea she would do nice at. 

"I think I would excel at our mega slide. I feel like I've watched all our athletes have so much fun conquering it that I want to give it a try," she mentioned. 

But, a different impediment was once if truth be told extra entertaining for her to watch.

"Speed Bag was my favorite obstacle to watch because it was the most challenging for some and we had some epic splashes into the water," she stated. 

Rocsi dished on which celebrity she'd need to see compete on 'Cannonball.'

After observing dozens of athletes try to make their way via the Cannonball path, Rocsi stated that there is one megastar particularly who she would need to see trying it out — her co-host. 

"I would love to see Mike 'The Miz' try to conquer it. He was always ready to dive into the competition so I would like to see if 'The Miz' could really last out there," Rocsi mentioned. 

But, Rocsi shared, it isn't because her and The Miz had any form of feud whilst filming the show. She referred to the professional wrestler as a "dream" to host with. 

"I thought covering boxing matches would be full of surprises for my career, but I was wrong. Cannonball is completely different for me, because I've never hosted a live competition show like this. Mike is a dream to work with," she defined about her revel in with filming the festival. "He kept me on my toes every day we filmed."

Cannonball premieres on July Nine at Eight p.m. ET on USA Network. New episodes air on Thursdays at Eight p.m.
