Amazing Race .. If  They ever go back to Hong Kong , heres my wishlist for what to do ..
they go to kowloon and hong kong island everytime they race in hong kong .. why not go to new territories previous leg to be non elimination leg

Hong Kong Internation Airport - take an airport express train , change trains (route info)
Tin Shui Wai Park Fountain, Hong Kong   (Route Info)    - Take the LRT
Ping Shan Tang Clan Gallery,Ping Shan,Hong Kong  ( Roadblock) > Learn about the Tang Clan    -Take the LRT or Taxi , if by lrt then stop at ping shan and walk
Butterfly Beach , Tuen Mun ,Hong Kong   (Speedbump) >Clean the beach , collect 50 trash        -Take the LRT
LRT Depot , Tuen Mun , Hong Kong     (Detour)> Repair it or Clean it  , Teams have to clean the transport they have been using the most in this leg  , the LRT , they should clean it or repair it
Wetland Park , Tin Shui Wai , Hong Kong (Pitstop) > teams must buy tickets to go inside the park and find phil at the place to watch birds

I hope this is good for u , the lrt is a complex system in Hong Kong , teams must know how to travel on railways :)

Impossible. You can't enter many of those countries if you have an Israeli stamp on your passport.
isn't there a way to have 2 passports?

Maybe we could keep this thread for wishlists that could conceivably happen?

Unless you want a local race, a one state race is just not on the cards, nor will there ever be another "Family Edition". :lol:

WHat peach meant was a suggestion to try to do believable legs. I don't care which race you make them for, but reading thru pages of LISTS that are impossible is not much fun, speaking solely as a reader. WHich is why a lot of people don't read this thread.

Posts like Loken's above show some thought, plannig and care, and THAT makes it interesting to read and to think about! For me, anyway. A random list of countries that can't actully work for the race is boring to read, but maybe that is just me??

Here's a unique first leg:

Start Glacier NP, Montana
Route Info: Find the "Cut Bank Penguin". Teams must figure out this is a giant statue of a penguin in the town of Cut Bank.
Route Info: Go to the Glacier Gateway Inn and sign up for a charter bus to a mystery location. (Lethbridge, Alberta) teams are dropped off at the bus station at 411 5th St. South.
Route Info: Go to the Enmax Centre, the home of the junior hockey team Lethbridge Hurricanes.
Detour: Block or Build. Block: Put on goalie equipment and block 5 shots each from a player. Build: Put up the actually hard to make "puck pyramid" on the ledge of the bench. It must be 10 levels of pucks high and you must use all the pucks in the pile.
Route Info: Drive to "the Saddle" in Calgary. Teams must figure out the clue is referring to the Scotiabank Saddledome, home of the NHL's Calgary Flames.
Route Info: Go to Glenmore Resorvoir and kayak along a 3 mile river.
Route Info: Go to the Pit Stop: Scotman Hill. This provides a fascinating view of the city
