TAR 27 Speculation and Discussion of **SPOILERS**
Maanca:
Would be nice. We haven't have 2 new countries since...season 20? (Azerbaijan, Paraguay).
TARFanMan:
This leg 5 stuff really got me confused, but I just found out Leg 5 has a confirmed visit to Zimbabwe. Welcome to the TAR Countries Visited Club, Zimbabwe! :conf:

So the media thread confirms TMZ's elimination. :funny: Why didn't I ever check that thread before? :funny:
Meanwhile, I'm not against having more than 1 new country this season, but "new places" is vague in my opinion. It might just be a new city in an old country. :ascared

- we've hit LA, Vegas, and Alaska recently and it seems that Hawaii and San Francisco work better as winter finales for WRP (idgi either). Maybe Seattle to redo another classic leg?
- eastbound nonstops to Seattle include Tokyo (we've just been here), Seoul (MERS), Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Taipei, Vancouver (which can be configured into a Seattle leg), and Calgary (not eastbound but close enough). I vote Beijing to keep with the funhouse mirror version of classic legs this route has going for it
- I was going to say SE Asia but five seasons have hit every relevant country save Brunei lol. While I'd love a leg in Cambodia I think dodging MERS means skipping most of these countries so for convenience sake I'll say another leg in China, with a lesser emphasis on generic modern Chinese culture - Chengdu (pandas!), Urumqi (deserts!), Qingdao (dams!), one of several cities featured on China Rush, etc.
- you know what country is nice presently, especially since it isn't hampered by...anything? The Maldives. Slightly difficult to get into/out of but that lends itself to bunching which production loves. Bonus - more footage of people not knowing where they are <3
- Since the Maldives are kind of a bottleneck it doesn't really matter where leg 8 is. We've gotten most of Europe in the past four seasons, plundering the Mediterranean in the process (sorry Greece, former Yugoslavia). Finland ia EXPENSIVE, and I have a suspicion the Urals might be visited this winter. Oddly enough I'm with Peach and guessing Hungary since we need another driving-heavy leg and aside from leg 3 I don't think we're getting it anywhere else
Tl;dr
Leg 8 - The Hague, Netherlands to Lake Balaton, Hungary
Leg 9 - Hungary to somewhere in the Maldives
Leg 10 - Maldives to Chengdu, China
Leg 11 - China to Beijing, China
Leg 12 - China to Seattle, Washington

Urumqi is definitely not safe nowadays. Since the tension between Uyghurs and Chinese people grows rapidly in these few months and it is also dangerous as ISIS terrorists have been reported to infiltrate in Xinjiang region and captured by Chinese Police afterwards
Also,there are also many train station terrorist attacks in Yunnan,Sichuan in early 2015,Chengdu may not be safe for visit
But China is still remaining a high possibility.Hong Kong,Shanghai are the two cities which is safe

Urumqi may not be saved, but I think Sichuan still OK idk. The problem is that the last 2 visit to China (TAR21 Shanghai, TAR24 Guangzhou 1 & 2) was all the big metropolitan cities and doing another China leg in the big metropolitan cities like Beijing and HK was seems lack of diversity for recent China leg.
