TAR Wishlist - locations, routes, twists, teams, tasks & dreams!**NO SPOILERS**
Platrium:
I haven't checked this thread for like a couple of months or so.
Imo, the reason Aus vs NZ wasn't as good as TAR Aus's past seasons was the nation rivalry. The show focused too much on that, and there was a lot of bias among teams from either nation. I personally don't wanna see another TAR version involving only 2 nations, because that's what's gonna happen most likely.
When you have teams from several nations involved like TAR Asia, the bias is less if not non-existent. That's why if TAR Aus is getting a 4th season, I'm hoping for it to be TAR Australia & Oceania.

We can dream (and there is a TINY bit of hope)... BUT it is very unlikely TAR Aus 4 will happen...
Nothing announced for 2018...

Leg 9 : Ortakoy, Greece --> Nicosia, Cyprus
Leg 10 : Nicosia, Cyprus --> Luxembourg city, Luxembourg
Leg 11 : Luxembourg city, Luxembourg --> San Jose, Costa Rica
Leg 12 : San Jose, Costa Rica --> Houston, Texas
Thoughts? Also can someone suggest me a map making app? I wanted to make a map on this!

I honestly hope if they want to go back to their roots a bit more then next season should have NO California. I honestly wished that TAR 30 ended in Seattle, (like a reverse TAR 10), because that is longer overdue than San Francisco. Seattle is one of three cities from season 1-11 that need proper finales, the others are Phoenix and Denver. California has been visited more times than China, that says a lot. The last time I want to see California is if they visit the Hollywood Sign as a starting line and that is it. Here are my thoughts as what could be final cities and what they could do in them and what could be the finish line. I'll start off in cities that NEED proper finales first.
Seattle: Now this city deserves more credit where its due as it started TWO race traditions. The final memory task. TAR 3 totem poles. It also started the first ever westward route, TAR 10. They could ACTUALLY visit the Space Needle and look for something while on it, probably the Spiders on the roof. They could go to the Gum Wall and have to find and scrape off gum that are race colors. They can catch fish in Pike's Place. Have a clue that says "Go look under a bridge for a surprise" leading them to figure out they need to find the Fremont Troll. Then have make a mad dash to Gas Works Park for the finish line.
Phoenix: They could do many desert themed tasks there like go climb Camelback Mountain. Go to the USS Arizona Memorial there again. It would also be cool if they had a task that involved looking around a cactus field for their next clue. The finish line can be in the middle of the desert and have to find Phil and the Finish Line.
Denver: Can do a switchback and go to Red Rocks Amphitheater of the flag memory challenge. They can go look for a "Big Blue Creature Staring Inside" leading to figure out that they have to find a the Big Blue Bear. Probably have a task going to the Denver Art Museum for a quick visit. The finish line can be something else overlooking Denver.
Now to move on to Three cities I want to see as finales.
Boston, Salem, and Plymouth: They can find where the ducks cross and go walk to the Freedom Trail, then go up to Salem to do visit the memorial of all people accused of witches. and do some witch trial tasks. Go back to Boston and go to Harvard where the memory task takes place. Then go all the way down to Plymouth for the Plimouth Plantation and have to find which person is out of character, the thing is it will be very hard to tell and will have to use their minds. After they have found the person, He/She will hand them the next clue. The final clue will ONLY say "1620" and will not tell them that it is the finish line, teams can not ask the people at the Plimouth Plantation, but can ask visitors. That will have to figure out that they need to find Plymouth Rock the finish line for this race.
Minneapolis: Honestly the Midwest is underrated in TAR and not used much, they only went to Chicago twice and that's it. They can go to the Mall of America and have to scour the floors to look for their next clue. They can visit the Stone Arch Bridge that's there. Go to the Vikings Stadium, US Bank Stadium and do a task there. Have a task commemorating Prince. Have the final clue say "Finish it all off with a cherry on top" leading them to figure out that The Finish Line is at the Spoonbridge and Cherry.
Albuquerque: They can do Indian stuff there. Go to Petroglyph National Monument and have them find petroglyphs. Have them do a hot-air balloon task at the Balloon Fiesta they have there, probably a memory challenge, and before they can blow up they the balloons that will have to get approval. Have both the final task and Finish Line at Sandia Peak.
I could type up these things for hours and hours and make up these legs while researching, I might brush these up in the future and add more cities, for them to do final legs legs in.

I also think Detroit would be a great finale! They could start by doing a quick dive into Canada, and then there's so much to do with Detroit. They could have a task involving the auto industry, Motown, a baseball stadium task at Comerica Park, and so much more. Detroit is actually a lot safer than people think it is, coming from someone who lives in Michigan. It's really the outskirts of Detroit that aren't very safe, so as long as they stay in Detroit or go to somewhere like Ann Arbor, they'll be perfectly fine. Plus, you can get direct flights from Asia, Europe, and South and Central to Detroit, so it's a great possibility!
And how have we had 30 seasons but no finale or start in Philadelphia? There's SO much to do with that and very accessible from Europe (and I think Asia? Not sure).
I also think Portland is overdue. The one time they did it was a fabulous final leg.
Adding to that, Atlanta and DC are underused. One time for each, and they can do so much with both, and both are very accessible with direct flights. Would also like to see St. Louis, New Orleans, and Baltimore but the problem with those are getting the final direct flights to them (same with Albuquerque).
I also think that they need to switch up California a bit. It was great to see San Francisco and finally have a season that didn't visit LA! But that being said, I think they should do San Diego one season. There are flights to and from Tokyo for example, so there's an idea!
