Caps of note: (In HD!)



"Virtual Starting Line" lol.



Potential airport scramble on Leg 1.



'Mariachi Madness' Detour on Leg 1.







'Great Bulls of Fire' Detour on Leg 1.





Teams play a Colombian game called the Tejo.











Roadblock involving mud taking place somewhere.



(Marty & Hagan?) In a cab somewhere after the mud Roadblock (the hut is seen outside their cab)





Roadblock involving water somewhere. Cluebox visible.



Colombia.



Fish challenge.



Erin & Joslyn at the Pit Stop on Leg 2.



A task with searchlights?



Task near water.

[amazing1604]

I'm pretty sure the beach-related tasks was somewhere in Bali 

[WinTar]

The mud challenge took place in a "mud volcano" in Cartagena. So I think we can assume Leg 1 is a NEL, since Marty & Hagan were there in the preview.

[Marionete]

I think we don't have to assume anything - this blatantly confirmed that leg 1 is NEL.

[Belle Book]

Yeah, looks like the first leg is an NEL.

[Bookworm]

I'm pretty sure the beach-related tasks was somewhere in Bali 

I feel like Colombia is more likely, as I doubt TAR would spoil teams racing in Leg 9/10.

Erin & Joslyn are shown during that screencap and they are gone before leg 7, so the place is most likely Colombia.

[claude_24hrs]

Cap 45 is Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral in Mexico City.

Where is Xarles and must know all of these locations in Mexico City?

[Alenaveda]

Cap 44 are the Plaza de Toros and the Estadio Azul, both in Mexico DF.

Probably Manzanillo del Mar , thanks to the Cartagena news release

In Cartagena the 16 participants performed various types of testing in the sights of the city and the region as Manzanillo del Mar, the volcano Totumo, Historical Center, Castle of San Felipe de Barajas, tours and city buses and taxis.

Some of the challenges participants took was getting on a bus (in this case was the Zaragocilla route), reaching India Catalina and take the place of "sparring" or driver's assistant. The goal was to fill the bus and meet the rate that day the driver must deliver.

I thought this thread was spoiler free, now I'm reading who stayed longer and who was eliminated before leg 7  I hope the preview only showed legs 1 and 2, cause I don't want to spoil this before it airs

You're in the spoiler section. C'mon

[Vodka.]

wait.... so the starting line is in their houses?

[redskevin88]

No in a hotel room in LA that production rented....

[Keepcopz]

This 'visual' starting line make me cringe so much. Don't really like it.

Sorry, Title adjusted to alert readers.

So I have done some research on what the Great Bulls of Fire could be, and I have found the exact thing they make. It's called a torito, or basically a bull frame that has a bunch of fireworks placed around it. So it seems that Burnie and Ashley are creating a fireworks display that had been popularized in the 19th century for ceremonial purposes. If you look for Mexican Handcrafted fireworks on google, you'll find a wikipedia page that will have a picture of the torito.

Already mentioned in spec, but still, good find! 

[elthemagnifico]

Lol They still using Nokia 

Is that as same as the 26's racers had for selfie task?

[Xarles]

Sorry for such a long break but I had to catch up with my life and specially with the last four episodes of TAR27 which I missed due to work and I didn't want spoiled (Aha! At least no more than what we already knew!).

Here is what I can see for now with a BIG question at the end:

Caps 29-31
Video call from downtown Mexico City across from Alameda Park.
Caps 34-35
Virtual start line at Plaza de la República in front of the Monumento a la Revolución, Mexico City.
Caps 42-43
Possible (I'll show you pics later) public transportation just outside Mexico City. (Maybe late -in the early am- arrival at Parque Tlalocan / Teotihuacán).
Cap 44
Plaza de Toros México and Estadio de la Ciudad de los Deportes (Estadio Azul). For aviation fans and geeks like me, this is waypoint PLAZA or 5 mile away final turn and alignment with runways 5L or 5R at MEX. It is a 15 minute walk from home and the Cruz Azul soccer team plays at the Estadio Azul. Of course, for me there is no other team in the world .
Cap 45
Mexico City's Metropolitan Cathedral at the city's main square, Plaza de la Constitución, dearly known as El Zócalo.
Cap 47-48
Plaza Garibaldi viewed from atop the Tequila and Mezcal Museum, Mexico City and also a ground view.
Caps 50-53
Can't confirm but they match the vegetation at the Parque Tlalocan area and also what I was told: That there was a "kind of a race" before having to go into the caves to assemble a mask.
Cap 54
Assembling a Torito for the Great Bulls of Fire detour. Location still unknown, but I am being able to figure it was a rooftop within walking distance of Plaza Garibaldi.
Cap 55
Maybe at the caves assembling the mask???
Caps 56-61
Arrival at MEX T1. Looks very different from T2 from which they departed to Colombia.
Caps 71-73
Lighting and burning the Toritos at the Great Bulls of Fire, downtown Mexico City.

Caps 42-43 plus the lake, the palapas and the fish (Huauchinango fish with tomato and lime, doesn't get more Mexican) are driving me crazy as the vans are painted like the public transportation at Valle de Bravo (1.5 hours west of Mexico City) which has a lake extremely similar to the one in the pics with similar palapas. Could there have been another leg here or have you accounted for ALL legs? Maybe it's a lake somewhere else???

I think caps 42-43 are a team leaving their house because they say 'Were going to Mexico!'

And the fish could have been Colombia but I am no expert on Latin American culture but that's where it could take place, or we could have half a leg in Mexico on leg 2, like S24 with Kota Kinabalu and Kuala Lumpur?

RUMOURED INACCURATE FINAL ELIMINATION LIST:>>>removed

 

This isn't even remotely true, check the timeline.

[georgiapeach]

Always glad to welcome someone to RFF. But false spoilers are not allowed....

[Evan_Weinstein]

Amazing Race facebook just uploaded a group photo for the latest season, i have no idea where that background is?

[gamerfan09]

Seems to be Mexico!

[Nyoman_SB1]

It is Mexico, at Archaeological site of Teotihuacan

[Lemontail]

I thought that everyone knew Teotihuacan, including Chichen Itza. How anyone don't know it?

[stunami]

Chichen Itza is not part of Teotihuacan...its not even in the same region!

[claude_24hrs]

The background you've seen is located at Pyramid of the Moon in Teotihuacan (link).
