Topic: TAR Wishlist - locations, routes, twists, teams, tasks & dreams!**NO SPOILERS**

[sveped]

Countries that are yet to be visit by teams:

Central & South America: Nicaragua, Guyana, Costa Rica, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Caribbean Islands, French Guiana, The Bahamas

Africa: Ivory Coast, Gabon, Cape Verde, Comoros, Liberia, Angola, Lesotho, Rwanda

Asia: Brunei, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Israel, Jordan, Laos, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus

Europe: Belarus, Latvia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Bulgaria

Oceania: American Samoa, Samoa, Fiji, Palau, Marshall Islands

Nicaragua = 2
Guyana = 2
Belize = 2
Guatemala = 3
El Salvador = 3
Caribbean Islands :
Cuba = 3
Dominican Republic = 2
Haiti = 3 
Honduras = 3
Jamaica = 2
Trinidad and Tobago = 2
Turks and Caicos = 2 
The Bahamas = 2
Ivory Coast = 2
Maldives = 2
Nepal = 2
Israel = 2
Jordan = 2
Saudi Arabia = 2

I highly doubt these ^ would be visited. Everything else are a 1, so they're good to go!

Jamaica was visited in season 7. You missed out on some pretty great moments if you haven't watched them. Uchenna & Joyce's cash comeback, the limbo task, and "Martha Stewart, look out".

Laos was visited in TAR Vietnam 4 and Kyrgyzstan was visited in this season of HaMerotz LaMillion :-)
Costa Rica was visited in TAR 8:Family Edition and TAR Latin-America.
Dominican Republic and Guatemala has been visited in TAR Latin-America.
Cuba has been visited in TAR Australia 2, TAR Canada 4 and HaMerotz LaMillion 3

They also haven't visited San Marino, Andorra, Albania, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Moldova in Europe.

I would love to see Moldova however its the poorest country in europe and stuff to do arent that much so could make a 1st leg good however the task might be catching rats or so

Yes, Moldova is the poorest country in Europe, but saying that catching rats is the most likely task to do in Moldova because it's a poor country, is really disrespectful. You can have some tasks around the wineries in the country, cultural/religion or something else. Just use your imagination. I mean, if they can do a whole season of just traveling around Philippines, Vietnam or Ecuador, I am sure someone will manage to make one or two full legs in Moldova, without making teams catching rats.

Wishlist I stormed up this weekend:

L1 : New York, USA --> Valencia, Spain --> Ibiza, Spain [U-TURN, KOR]
L2 : Ibiza, Spain --> Gdansk, Poland --> Malbork, Poland [ELIM]

Interesting combination you have there on Leg 1. The issues I have with this is: with a U-TURN so early in the season, most racers will not even consider using it; also having a U-TURN and KOR on Leg 1 means that the field could be spread out alot (unless you bunching them at the airport going to Poland).

Yes, I thought about it.
I made the following changes - L1 [U-TURN] , L6 [W-TURN] , L9 [U-TURN]

Split the teams - 3 flights from New York to Valencia, then have some tasks in Valencia and then sign up for ships to Ibiza. Remember sign ups on premiere legs [TAR 25, *cough* michael and scott *cough* lisa and michelle *cough*] ?? Hoping for a similar reaction.

And even if they don't use the u-turn then there are 2 u-turns more on the race. So not that big of a deal.

fwiw the seaplanes on TAR 25 were a short distance (~5 miles or so), whereas a ferry from Valencia to Ibiza is about 300 km and, assuming you're using the scheduled ones, only offered a couple times per day. If you're keen on the leg 1 KOR, have teams fly to Ibiza directly then take the ferry to Valencia for the start of the next leg.

also re: Andorra and kind of related to the above; I always pictured a set of legs similar in structure to TAR 18, where there was a leg in France or Spain, then a leg that had teams drive through Andorra for one task, then finish in Spain or France.

[claude_24hrs]

Sweden replaces Finland and Port Elizabeth, South Africa replaces both legs in Cape Town despite water supply in that city will be tapped out by April 21st. Post updated on page 159.

Well I was thinking of maybe doing the same thing they did in Asia 5 were they have to buy stuff for the families I was thinking of catching rat cause I was doing a extreme weather project on Moldova and came across a photo with people catching rats

Yes it's good but not a NYC start  Yes Taiwan but not Taipei we seen enough of that maybe the place I mentioned with the sheep farm or Tainan or taizhong would be good Finland is ok for me however I would prefer you do Lapland instead 1 leg in Italy is fine the other leg could be used in Albania

Mm. Arrange It from west to east.
L1 - NYC, USA --> Canary Islands, Spain
L2 - Canary Islands, Spain --> Cameroon
L3 - Cameroon --> (Pisa,) Italy
L4 - (Florence,) Italy
L5 - (Florence,) Italy --> Lake Bled, Slovenia --> Ljubljana, Slovenia
L6 - Ljubljana, Slovenia --> Finland
L7 - Finland --> Oman
L8 - Oman --> Taiwan
L9 - Taiwan --> (Puerto Princesa,) Philippines
L10 - (Cebu,) Philippines
L11 - (Cebu,) Philippines --> Canada
L12 - Canada --> Denver, USA

Thoughts:
Really like it. You have one leg on Puerto Princesa and one leg on Canary Islands, so it might be similar but they are culturally VERY DIVERSE.
I doubt they'd go to Vancouver, BC because Canada has its own show of TAR where they mostly cover Canada... but if they do want TARUS
can take inspiration from some Canada legs. It is possible but highly unlikely.
We last visited Oman in s17, and a country in the gulf in s30. I'd say this is an opportunity to visit Qatar (level 1 safety?) but I'm sure you must have something else planned in mind.
We visited Italy in s29. If we had to visit a country in Western Europe they'd go to Germany (last visited in s26). But please, visit Luxembourg and you'll only have Vatican City and Andorra left on Western Europe!!!

I had it start in Helsinki because usually the race likes to fly to direct to the first destination unless it's in South America. I like the idea of backtracking a bit, it kind of gives me TAR 6 and TAR 17 vibes, and TAR 6 had one of the best maps in my opinion. Agree about
Italy, but I think a visit to Pisa is overdue and we need a real leg in Florence because 12 didn't really visit Florence, but maybe it can go to Rimini instead and visit San Marino! I'd also love a visit to the Cinque Terre region. I wanted Oman because I really would love a switchback to the sand over task in TAR 9, because I think that would result in a GREAT switchback; with the exception of the hay bale switchback, most switchbacks have been lackluster. I don't see them visiting Qatar because they said in this interview that they wouldn't because of the government being disorganized. And I actually agree about Canada, most people on here really want a leg there but I'm okay with not having one. Trade that out for a leg in Korea or Fiji and I'd be happy (although that would kill the ending in Denver).

I recommend teams going to new places like Porto, Azores Island, or Algarve should be a good start.

[nrh2110]

I would love to see Porto, but I was just thinking Lisbon more along the lines of getting direct flights from Budapest and to Sao Tome

I would much rather Arctic than Antarctica like i know they both don't have stuff to do but like i would much rather the teams look at polar bears than penguins plus Arctic can pair up with legs in Greenland northern Europe or Canada Antarctica can mostly do Argentina  or australlia don't get me wrong I would love australlia but I would rather do northen europe

Poor Canada, it can never have a pit stop. I feel like if you cut Vancouver entirely, or make the city have its own leg then its fine. The decision is yours. Also yes that is what I meant by.
