Just watching the camera and by the looks of it they have some cleaners cleaning the stairs.

I see those cleaners too. Tons of prep by the production too.

Alright, it's about time for me to head to Times Square, see you later everyone! :)

Have Fun!  :waves:

maybe a start line task is to run around times square and look above on the video boards for a clue on the 1st destination city.
I would love that.

Here's an idea for first leg transportation. Traveling by coach (especially if they are going to Canada)  Port Authority Bus Terminal is just down 42nd on 8th

I guess i'll have to spend the night watching the live cams... so much for No Opp Wasted...

EDIT: I'll try again soon...

That's what I was thinking. Something like the task in Taipei in TAR19

Phil near TKTS  :waves:

I'd imagine that will be part of the opening monologue about New York City.

Back to live cam updates after some disappointing news:

Production seems to be setting up some stuff, notably the lighting.

That big yellow thing on the ground better not be the site of a start line elimination.

Probably not. For a start line elimination, there would be a pit stop mat and not a generic yellow mat.

I think that the yellow square is always there so don't worry about it being to do with a starting line elimination.

I can confirm this. In the Earth Cam, second picture (was taken on May 23rd.) Same yellow square.
