Topic: TAR16 Destination Wishlist

[mjriches2005]

I am starting this new thread in response to Season16 which will be scheduled for filming sometime at the end of this year.  This thread is for only Season16 destinations/lists only.  Do not use countries that are definately not travel-friendly due to wars, politcal unrest, and dictatorship.  Do not list team ideas or use places that is very impossible for the race to visit in reality.  Please keep this thread open for destination wishlists for next season only.   

[mjriches2005]

And just to show what I meant, here is my idea for Season 16

Leg 1: USA to United Kingdom (Boston to Glasgow, Scotland then on to Inverness/Loch Ness)
Leg 2: United Kingdom (Glasgow to Windsor Castle, England)
Leg 3: United Kingdom to France (Windsor to Paris, France via Channel Tunnel)
Leg 4: France (Paris to Normandy/Mont Saint Michel)
Leg 5: France to South Africa (Mont Saint Michel to Paris to Durban, South Africa)
Leg 6: South Africa to Qatar (Durban to Doha, Qatar)
Leg 7: Qatar to Malaysia (Doha to Penang/George Town, Malaysia)
Leg 8: Malaysia to New Zealand (Penang to Christchurch, New Zealand)
Leg 9: New Zealand to Fiji (Christchurch to Nadi, Fiji)
-The winter olympics are months away and a double leg could work-
Leg 10-part 1: Nadi to Vancouver, BC, Canada
Leg 10-part 2: Vancouver to Whistler Village
Leg 11: Canada to USA (Whistler Village to Vancouver to Orlando, Florida, USA)

[Caelestor]

This is my sample race:

Episodes:
1/2. Atlanta -> Buenos Aires (Start Task+Longer Leg makes 2 Episodes!): 11 Start, 10 Remaining
3. Argentina -> Sydney: 9 Remaining
4. Sydney -> Bali: 8 Left
5. Bali -> Johor Bahru TBC
6. Johor Bahru -> Singapore: 7 Left
7. Singapore -> Doha TBC
8. Qatar -> Bahrain: 6 Left
9. Bahrain -> Algiers: 5 Left
10. Algiers -> Brussels TBC
11. Belgium -> London: 4 Left
12. London -> Quebec: 3 Left -> Atlanta
13. Quebec -> Atlanta: Final

Note the lack of NELs (and thus the speedbump).
Additionally, there should be a U-turn with every detour.

Other places I want to see not on this list: Copenhagen, any Middle America/Caribbean country, Greece, any African country.

[inomu]

Leg 2: Brussels to Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
Leg 3: Luxembourg to Copenhagen, Denmark
Leg 4: Copenhagen to Valletta, Malta
Leg 5: Valletta to Manama, Bahrain
Leg 6: Manama to Lusaka, Zambia
Leg 7: Zambia
Leg 8: Zambia to Sydney, Australia
Leg 9: Sydney to Melbourne, Australia
Leg 10: Melbourne to Suva, Fiji
Leg 11: Fiji to USA

11 teams, two NELs

[BobbL]

I'd like to see some small nations.  Real small.  Like Monaco, Andorra, Vatican City, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Afars & Issas. Singapore fits the pattern just fine.  TAR loves Dubai, which is its own little world.

And some others.  I was so happy to see them go to Estonia; if I remember right, they also have gone to Lithuania.  Though they ought to try that again -- this time, without the totally sponsored malarkey about "land of the gnomes".  Have they been to Latvia?

Of course, we all could have fun with a TAR season of places they shouldn't go, and how various teams of past seasons would have done.  And we must remember that sometimes dangerous things happen right after they leave -- witness Thailand.

[redwings8831]

I don't have a destination wishlist, but the only thing I ask is that maybe the starting location could be over on the east coast somewhere. My memory's shot, but beyond the family edition, I can't remember the last time they started somewhere in the eastern time zone. They can finish up out west, but start east. That's all I ask.

All-Stars started in Miami, which is in Eastern Time Zone!  Every starting line after that was in Los Angeles til now.  I would say the Eastern United States, Southern US, Mountain States, and Midwest haven't been seen since the past seasons before Season12.

Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Pakistan??  I made it very clear at the beginning of this thread not to use countries that are impossible to visit.  Saudi Arabia has restrictions that could prohibit unmarried m/f teams, female/female teams, and homosexual teams from visiting.  Nigeria has unsafe conditions and Pakistan has huge problems with the Taliban.  So for the record "Do not use countries that have problems that could restrict travel there!"  Thank You
