I found a web site with his time line.

"1890 - April 21 Chekhov leaves to travel across Siberia to visit and report
on the penal colony on the island of Sakhalin where he arrived on June 11."

There's a rodelbahn in the Bobrovy Log ski resort/funpark near Krasnoyarsk. (map/photo here).

Next On The Amazing Race
It Was Like a Caravan of Idiots (Siberia)
One team hits another with a Blind U-turn sending shockwaves throughout the Race and teams must make it through a Russian winter.

watching the insider clips, Jaime/Cara said they aren't fond of the blondes because they told Tammy and Victor to "ditch the read heads"...Maybe they use the u-turn?

preview
The teams are off to Siberia where a detour may crush more than just their dreams. Don't miss The Amazing Race Sundays on CBS!

Michael the only team I can think of that would really shock a lot of the other teams is if someone U-Turned Margie & Luke.

goodyingbadyang · « **Reply #33 on:** March 01, 2009, 11:28:28 PM »

But would that be referred to as a "blind u-turn" ??

maybe the team panics and don't know who to u-turn (not knowing how far behind OR ahead any of the teams are), a-la blondies u-turning lorena/jason and goths u-turning nick/grandpa

Jaimie and Cara are my pick for the U-TURNED based on that preview alone. They look like they're about to cry and if they're having that much trouble with the wood wall detour you'd think that they would just switch.

Is that Amanda or one of Christie & Jodi in one of those last shots?

puddin · « **Reply #41 on:** March 01, 2009, 11:45:12 PM »

Christie ^^^

Detour: Stack or Construct

Stack- Follow the marked path to the woodwork (?). Then, gingerly build a wall of firewood by stacking one pile of wood into a neat, traditional formation to receive your next clue

Amanda/Kris alongside Jaimie/Cara (shown complaining about Amanda not doing anything)
seperate shot of Mel/Mike but it looks about the same time frame

Construct - Follow the marked path to the workshop. Then, using all the provided pieces, assemble a set of siberian shutters. Then, install them on a nearby house so that they are working properly in order to receive your next clue

Mark/Michael

Roadblock: Speedreader

Victor
Christie
Luke
Jaimie

This shot was taken here:

The key is the two towers in background. They are shown here in this Panoramio shot.

According to the stuntmen:

First flight has them, Kisha and Jenn, and Christie and Jodie

while the others "got stuck in the other airport"

and on second thought, Cara's just tearing up because Jaimie's being a bitch

Very good goodyingbadying!!

Slowhatch · « **Reply #46 on:** March 01, 2009, 11:58:51 PM »

The brickwork and manufacturer (Wiegand) match up; it would seem to be Bobrovy Log (Beaver Valley).

You got it Slowhatch!

Here is a Panoramio that has some track in it:

Here is the view using tilt in GE:

"M-something-g-something Attraction - RODELBAHN". Nothing we didn't know?

~~Is this the correct one?~~
Nah, signboard at the end is different.

Chateau d If · « **Reply #49 on:** March 02, 2009, 01:02:29 AM »

This shot was taken between 8:20 and 8:40 am (assumes November 8th).

Probably an hours of operation delay and the Roadblock is the first task of the leg.
