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).
--- End quote ---
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.

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".
--- End quote ---
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
--- End quote ---
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.
--- End quote ---
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
