Have I been punk'd again? am I wasting my time trying to find that exact spot which by the way isn't as easy as you'd think  :lol:

MWooden snagged it back on page 3. Maybe he can tell us where it was found?

What are you looking for, Puddin? Here is the site with the gate pic -- there are 35 other views of the park on this site too. Maybe this will help?

ETA: GE view below...

Well they are definately not leaving because they have no clue in hand. I kind of think it is an interior gate like to a different section of the park. It looks like they just got let in and that's why they are hauling butt. It's no surprise Bama didn't run as fast but R/K should be just behind them. Maybe they took a wrong turn.  ???

Well heres some clues:


ONLY FOUR TEAMS REMAIN AS THE RACERS CONTINUE THEIR QUEST FOR A SPOT IN THE FINAL THREE AND A CHANCE AT ONE MILLION DOLLARS
ON "THE AMAZING RACE 10," SUNDAY, DEC. 3

"Dude, I'm Such A Hot Giant Chick Right Now!" -- Only four teams remain as the Racers continue their quest for a spot in the final three and a chance at One Million Dollars on THE AMAZING RACE 10, Sunday, Dec. 3 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

*The intensity heightens as Teams depart Morocco and race to their next destination knowing that one team may be eliminated leaving only three teams in the Race to the Finish Line.   
*Immediately, the Racers face a difficult Detour causing one Team to hit their emotional breaking point.  Will this Team be able to pull it together or will this hurdle be enough to knock them out of the Race entirely? 
*At the Roadblock, an argument breaks out when one Racer loses faith in their partner. 
*Finally, one Team feels the coldness of the other Teams who have targeted them for elimination.

No punking this time Puddin.  I'm hunting for it too.  So far:  nada.

There is that tourista shot of a stairway with matching gate posts but it is not the same.  I think that one is the stairway going down to the "Placa dels lleons" on your pdf map.  But our promo shot is of a wider stairway preceded by a long stretch of open pathway.

Is the park entrance at the top of the map?  I think this shot should be near that entrance as mentioned above.

BTW, if it is 10 am then the sun would be shining from exactly due East (90 deg azimuth).

 :woohoo:

Actually, I think the "Placa dels Lleons" is it.  It's just a different stairway that is not clearly drawn on the map!  And it's covered by trees in Google Earth.

Now I can get the time.  But I have to go to work.

I think Sups is right about the interior location of the gate. If you use that link I listed above and go thru the pictures, you'll notice they're in order as the photographer goes thru the park, starting at the velodrome, past the fish pond, the house, gates that look like ours, the maze, and then back to the entrance/exit where she started, the velodrome.

Judging by her picture order, the trees around Tyler/James as they're running out, the direction they're heading (away from the maze area), etc, I feel pretty good about this guess of the gate's location -- check out the map below -- gate indicated by green flag/star.

Okay, I think it's safe to just call it 10 am.

Anybody can judge this angle match as good as I can.

I knew it!  :rotf:

So the webclues want to make us think the roadblock is in Spain? Silly amateurs. :snics: So the leg might go something like this:

June 21
Leaving the pitstop teams get clue to go to market area in Morocco where they receive the roadblock clue.
Roadblock: eat camel meat
When completed they receive a clue to fly to Barcelona and find Horta Park (parc del laberint)
Teams hit hour of operations

June 22
Teams race through maze to clue box.
At this point the clue is either a detour or leads them to colonia guell possibly to either locate a picture or a painted car to match the one in the clue?? (just a thought). When matched receive detour clue:
Detour: tomatoes or giants (no clever detour name yet -- Smash or Carry? :lol:)
When complete travel to pit stop

And this is just speculation: As for the detour R/K and Bama choose the tomatoes since it is right around the corner but it proves to be the longer choice. Can't figure out what they are doing with the tomatoes. It looks like Kim is squeezing them with her hands. I can't see them burying a clue in a real tomato. Perhaps they are looking for a fake tomato? Maybe easier to squeeze each to ensure it is a real tomato. The giants on the hand is further away but when the teams complete the task they are much closer to the pit stop.

"Find the red tomato"

Oh wait, that won't work.  Maybe yellow.

What if the Pit Stop is Tibidabo Hill?  Who is closer?

But it does look like Kim is picking them up and sqeezing them instead of just tossing them aside. If looking for a different color tomato they could be tossed aside quickly.

With the close proximity of Morocco and Spain, it would be neat if the racers had to cross from Morocco to Spain via the Straights of Gibraltar.

The tomato task is a big tomato fight.  Each team must likely hit so many people before they can get their next clue (and get a shower).

I'm with you, peach -- they have been the only team worth watching this year. The rest have been BORING.
I KNOW!!!!!! I'm guessing T/J beat them to the pit stop and they come 2nd and R/K and L/K come within the next 30 minutes. That's what I'm guessing.

Thats my guess too, R/K must hold a record for finishing the legs in 3rd place?
Just imagine the look on the Lyn's faces when they see the BQ's serving their penalty as they arrive last at the pitstop * shudder the thought *  :groan:!
