--- Quote from: puddin on September 09, 2009, 11:08:49 AM ---Contestants will travel one of the fastest courses ever assembled on the Race - spanning eight countries in just 21 days. Season 15 also features the quickest elimination in the history of the series, sending one Team home before they leave the starting line. Teams fortunate enough to avoid the surprise elimination and compete for the $ 1 million prize will face the "Switchback," which sends Teams back to the site of one of the series' most infamous Roadblocks, as well as a surprise appearance by one of America's most beloved entertainers, a visit to the world's tallest building and a spicy twist on a Japanese game show.
"This season we wanted to keep the Racers and our fans on their toes and make sure no one gets too comfortable," stated Bertram van Munster, Executive Producer and Co-Creator of THE AMAZING RACE. "We're adding some new surprise elements including our quickest elimination ever as well as revisiting one of the most challenging Roadblocks our Teams have ever encountered during our past 15 seasons."

ETA: As for the Roadblock: OMG. The haybales back in Sweden?! :funny: Or is it a redo of the Argentina meat RB?

The teams are gpong back to the location of an actual past-season roadblock, and I believe the twist is that this season's teams are doing the exact same roadblock at that task.
That pretty much points to a handful of places given what we know about this season's Race course.
At the moment, my bet is on the season 3 roadblock in Ho Chi Mihn City, which lead to the final elimination of Derek and Drew Riker, but that doesn't rule out other possibilities, such as the roadblock that had teams driving a course around downtown Tokyo, or the season 4 roadblock in the Netherlands; some of these require researchto plot the actual roadblocks in the season 15 countries to see which tasks were near where teams are known to have traveled.
Zack.:
My vote is for the haybales in Sweden; the cyclos (though I loved that leg) and ditch vaulting weren't really infamous, were they?
Kiwi Jay:
Looking forward to this new twist, Off to school, great to see new teams YAYAYA!
Hooky:
WHAT??!!!! THE RETURN OF THE HAYBALES??!!!!
Wow, that would be awesome, but sad in regards to what we all know happened there.
THIS IS SPECULATION
