The Death Trap a new feature to MK. It will be pretty much considered a ring out. Also there will be red like neon lights right by the trap.
Midway said that you can turn these lights off. Also A big rumor going around is that there also will be a option to turn death traps off, and Set them to end the match, make them only to be able to be used in Round 2. Now there might be one or 2 of these options available, none of them available, or more then the ones I named or different ones available.
We will Start Off With The Meat Grinder in the Slaughter House.

This is a deadly trap the person will get hitted into the trap like ermac was in this picture. Then the grinder will stop and try to go and then it will go and shred you to pieces. Also put blood stains on the wall lol
*NEW*Here is the Meat Grinder with the wall full of blood.

The Next Trap is in the Prison stage. Its where the wall of spikes squeeze together I think never seen it in action yet. lol

Here A new pic for this one!
There also said in PS magazine that the yellow lights by the cells means the ppl in the cells can hurt you like take a lil damage away lol.
This next ones on the Sky Temple. Sub kicks Ermac off the side. Then Ermac falls to the next stage here sub would jump down and they would fight.

So if you fall down the next level. This ones pretty much you fall awayyyyys until you hit the ground and your body blows apart lol(like sindel in the fatality trailer).
*NEW*Here is the Sky Tower fall.

The next Trap is the Crumbling Tower. This tower slowly falls apart to make fighting space smaller.

Once someones knocked off they fall down aways until they land on some Spikes. OUCH lol
*NEW*Here is the Crumbing Tower spikes.

Finally The Molten Press. This trap is simple you knock your opponent on the lava. They will try to crawl out and the the press will slam down.

The Dragon Kings Stage
The outside of the arena is surrounded by angled spikes.
The Dragon King kicks the opponent right into the spikes. Thats mainly what happens.(Doesn't The DK look Bad Ass)
This is a new stage Idk what it is but the death trap is a statue falling.
I see the red line and that has to be it
The Kutann Palce is back Now you can fly into the lava
In this picture Ashra is fal;ling towards it after Raiden kicked her into it.
The Light zone of the Ying Yang Level. Scorpion hit Sindel into the water and she's getting eaten by Pirhana.
Excuse my Language but Fucking Right THe Pit 1 is back. We all should no what this one is hehehhe.
Die Ben/Kobra Die lol
Thats it for now if you haven't seen the new trailer you can see a few images now. Thanks KOnqurr for all the new Images. I seen the snakes from the dark part of the YIng Yang Arena in Puzzle Kombat so they're probably the other deathtrap for this stage.
I say that if you get too close they'll eat yah.
CMETH THANKS TOO HIMM WE HAVE 3 MORE PICS. NO NEW TRAPS YET THOUGH!
UPDATE 8/27/04!!!!!!!!
Quan Chi's Fortress seems like his place is gonna be the arena with the laser death trap yes but we haven't seen it in action yet but it has to be it look at the red lasers. That or the lasers all together looks like a spider web maybe theres a spider who knows??

This next stage I have no idea what arena it is but it has 2 deathtraps according to MKO's Video! The first on is a dragon type head that when your in its mouth it kills you!

The next one is a spining thing that dices you up when you get knocked in it!
