Not sure where to put this but can someone send me a screenshot/link for a train from Sydney to Gold Coast leaving between March 4th almost midnight-March 5th, arriving either March 5th or 6th?? It would be greatly appreciated

Trust me, Gold Coast is my pick too! Just wanted to get opinions.

I think we've seen Miami a bit. I was thinking either:

Orlando
Tampa
New Orleans or
Boston

Orlando does have direct flights from Lima too.

Miami is truly a most visited city in Florida has many tourist attractions like South Beach. We should get a full Miami final leg. Miami does have many direct flights from Europe (London, Paris, Lisbon, Frankfurt, Moscow, etc.).

By the way, no South America legs will be for TAR 31 which it is recently done in the last four seasons but it had skipped for TAR 30.

I’d say a South America visit is unlikely, more than won’t happen

But I’d also say Peru is sorta unlikely too

I’d love to see Ecuador as a penultimate country, but could also see Argentina (maybe with Uruguay again?) or Chile, especially for a Fall/Winter filming

I’d lean towards seeing SA in S32, hopefully at the end of the race again- I really liked that about S26’s route

I feel like we all keep saying this every season for the last few years, but TAR31 should be heavy on Oceania and Asia on a westward route.

Oceania is way long overdue and that is my wishlist obligation since TAR 24 All-Stars. I would love to have Oceania for the starting destination in Fiji, then to Australia is the next country in three legs before heading to Asia for two legs (China [Mainland portion] and Cambodia, one leg each per Asian country).

I could see a similar pattern for 31 and 32 as we had for 21 and 22, if 31 is Spring/Summer and 32 is Fall/Winter

I would say 31 would be an Asian start, with possible Australia visit

32 could be that Fiji start we’ve all been waiting for, and work better with the Southern Hemisphere seasons

Guys!!! I have my wishlist almost done!!! Here's what I have 100%

Leg-1 Los Angeles, United States to Osaka, Japan
Leg-2 Osaka, Japan to Sydney, Australia
Leg-3 Sydney, Australia to Gold Coast, Australia
Leg-4 Gold Coats, Australia to Luang Prabang, Laos
Leg-5 Luang Prabang, Laos to Cape Town, South Africa
Leg-6 Cape Town, South Africa to Port Elizabeth, South Africa
Leg-7 Port Elizabeth, South Africa to Budapest Hungary
Leg-9 to Switzerland (not sure on city)
Leg-12 to Orlando, United States (or anywhere else in Florida)


Leg-8
For Leg-8, I took many of your opinions and did a little research and a Lapland leg in the summer (considering this is a summer race) won't work out. So now I'm stuck between:
-still Laplands
-Southern Finland
-Southern Sweden

Leg-10/11
For these two, I also took your opinions and now I either want to do 2 Peru, 2 Ecuador, 1 Peru/1 Ecuador, or 2 Uruguay. Can I please get some more input! I'm lost with these legs!!!

I would love Guayaquil, Ecuador or the Galápagos Islands

Cusco would still be nice- I would just love more teams getting to see it

Going to Iquitos, Peru could be cool for an Amazon leg(s)

I’m not sure on Uruguay tho- haven’t researched it as much

It may be tough, but one cool country could be Suriname- has a direct flight from Amsterdam, and options back to the US- they would just have to plan around it’s VERY limited flight schedules

Would LOVE to see the unique culture of the region

I’ve been wondering if it was still possible to do a race with all new countries, so here’s my best attempt at a 13-leg race:

Leg 1: Los Angeles, USA to Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago (EL- 12th place)
Leg 2: Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago to Paramaribo, Suriname (EL- 11th place)
Leg 3: Paramaribo, Suriname (EL-10th place)
Leg 4: Paramaribo, Suriname to Luxembourg City, Luxembourg (EL- 9th place)
Leg 5: Luxembourg City, Luxembourg to Libreville, Gabon (NEL- 8 teams)
Leg 6: Libreville, Gabon (EL- 8th place)
Leg 7: Libreville, Gabon to Bratislava, Slovakia (EL- 7th place)
Leg 8: Bratislava, Slovakia to Amman, Jordan (NEL- 6 teams)
Leg 9: Amman, Jordan to Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei (EL- 6th place)
Leg 10: Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei to Vientiane, Laos (EL- 5th place)
Leg 11: Vientiane to Pakse, Laos (KRL- 4 teams)
Leg 12: Pakse, Laos to Nadi, Fiji (EL- 4th place)
Leg 13: Nadi, Fiji to Salt Lake City, USA (Finale)

The only people who wear 'Gold COATS' on the Gold COAST, are the meter maids!!!

But anyway, I wish they went to the Goldie on TAR4, instead of the Sunshine Coast or Cairns. Yawn, that coast is BORING!

My wishlist for TAR 31 IF it was an All Star Season

6 Continent Route
1. Melbourne, Australia
2. Tasmania, Australia
3. Singapore
4. Male, Maldives
5. Bangalore, India
6. Astana, Kazakhstan
7. Astana, Kazakhstan
8. Lisbon, Portugal
9. Abidjan, Ivory Coast
10. Montevideo, Uruguay
11. Uruguay
12. Atlanta, USA

Teams
Brooke and Claire (they were on the TAR Price is Right and they can always use a Female team)
Mark and Bopper (I know we don't like 3rd timers, but with Bopper's medical issue keeping him from racing last time I'd think people would be for it)
Misti and Jim
Kym and Alli
Justin and Diana (Not a fan of Justin but I'm trying to be realistic with this. And they won 7 legs so they've earned it)
Tiffany and Krista
Tanner and Josh
Sheri and Cole
Tyler and Korey
Becca and Floyd (despite meeting as strangers, they live in the same city and do TAR recaps together, so its possible)
SEASON 30 SPOT
SEASON 30 SPOT

Watching the Olympics, I saw a commercial for American Ninja Warrior: USA vs The World. Made me think of the idea of TAR doing something like that and Aus vs NZ. Maybe a TAR US vs The World. Either all All-Stars or all new teams.

I know the hurdle before was the passports and visas and such. But now with teams being released from the airport at the same time and mandatory/provided flights, I think that takes care of any logistical concerns about the fairness of different passports.

I have been thinking about something similar for a while!

What about The Amazing Race: Northern vs Southern

Northern Hemisphere teams vs Southern Hemisphere. 12 teams, 12 legs, each leg takes place in the country and city one team is from! Never gunna happen, but been thinking for this idea for AGES!!!

Love your idea, BB. I would bet The Amazing Race 31: USA vs. Canada similar to ill-fated The Amazing Race Australia 3: Australia vs. New Zealand.

12 teams in 12 legs, 6 newbie USA teams and 6 returning Canadian teams from past seasons of The Amazing Race Canada.

Yes!! This could be another option! <3333

I would like to see it, but only from English speaking countries.

Could be interesting to see US x Great Britain once, but i would rather see it like this:

6 teams from the US
6 teams from the World (Australia, Bahamas, Canada, Great Britain, New Zealand and Nigeria)
100% commitment makes everything easy
99% commitment makes everything hard

I was thinking All-Star teams from international TARs (Asia, Australia, Philippines, Israel, Vietnam, China, Canada) vs American All Stars. Definitely English speaking teams from all of those franchises.

The good thing about a TAR: US vs Canada would be CBS and CTV would have to split paying for it which is how TAR: Aus vs NZ was (Both Seven and New Zealand's TV2 shared costs). That would certainly entice CBS to order another season on the cheap (maybe even in addition to a regular season).

I could say on my post seen at above that all-star teams are from TAR Canada, with six new US teams. I hope there could be Nation vs. Nation task on the starting line before heading towards for their first destination. US vs. Canada and one country may dominate.

For example, cycle 18 of America's Next Top Model featured seven all-star British models faced with newbie American models.
