so much to read through , sorry if this was posted already .....

the stage was set for the teams to arrive before noon ( btw kudos to Dedwards , this was a really good spoiler )

Dec 3rd , Finish-line spec from TWoP by Dedwards

I did some detective work and called Red Rocks. I should not have bothered, the Red Rocks Online website practicly gives it away and the gal I talked to paused when I mentioned TAR by name. Then just repeated it was closed for a "private function" from 6am to noon.
From the web site :
Amphitheatre to be Closed this Saturday
Due to a private function, the Amphitheatre and Visitor Center will be closed to the public this Saturday morning, December 3, 2005. The Amphitheatre will reopen at approximately Noon. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Chateau d If:
Whatever the final task is, I bet they go through that tunnel (see satellite image) to the parking lot on the other side and complete the task there.  That shot of Ray & Yolanda may be them on the trail that shows up in the satellite image.  It goes to the bottom of the amphitheater.

For sure we see the teams enter the amphitheater and have to run all the way up the stairs to Phil at the top (south end)

I think E&J get to the final task first (due to the lack of any marks in the snow at the cluebox from BJ&T's taxi) but the difference is not enough to let them win.  The final task will involve using their brains and for that BJ&T will wiz right by them.

I can't wait!   :jumpy:

Just some quickies:

I concur that it looks like the Hippies are having trouble getting an early flight to Tokyo; they seem to be at the Thai Airways counter since there is a sign over Tyler's shoulder that says that they now feature non-stop flights to New York, and Thai Airlines recently inaugurated non-stop service from Bangkok to JFK a 16hour and 30 minute flight compared to one stops through Tokyo taking up to 23 hours! Also it looks like Tyler hasn't picked up a windbreaker yet which he has when the leave Tokyo.

Looks like the teams arrive in Tokyo at night or at least after sunset.  Must go through city to find various places.

Detour task may be ride mini-bikes through down town and deliver stuff (Looks like DHL messenger bags - another blatant commercial tie-in a la duracel batteries, kodak cameras, and all the rest) Not sure of the other task yet.

Next day looks like they have to drive south to Five Lakes area.  Can anyone identify the logo on the guard booth at which Ray is asking directions:  it looks like JH sort of, but obviously japanese of some sort.

Day spent in Fujiyama amusement park.  We see teams riding two different roller coasters (seats are different) but only Jeremy, Tyler and Yolanda on one such ride and again these three only on the piazz wheel (never in a thousand years would you find me on that).  So is this the ROADBLOCK?  One team member has to ride two different rides or only the wheelly thing?

Race to the pit stop through the park with The Hippies arriving first and The Beach Boys close behind. That leaves RaYoYo to get mugged by Phil.  Note that the next morning probably driving back to Tokyo Airport, Yolanda is driving and Ray has a sign which looks like pleading for YEN around his neck.

Then it is off to Alaska.  Via Seattle to Anchorage and then back country by bush plane?  Eric and Ray are in a waiting room somewhere. Thankfully, TPTB spring for parkas and hats for the teams, especially the Hippies who would not last long.

Where does the trek by BJ on snowshoes and ski poles fit in.

Finally back in Denver, if the flight information is right then the Beach Boys will be 2 to 3 hours behind the others.  Note that when BJ and Tyler are running up the snow path toward what looks like somekind of buildings Tyler is jumping up and down as he has been all during the race when they know they are in the lead.

But why have a clue box by the entrance to Red Rocks unless it means somekind of task still lies ahead before they all meet on the red carpet.

My estimates of arrival times at the Marble Temple in Bangkok and therefore the leaving times 12 or 24 hours later:

The Hippies between 11:15AM and 11:30AM

The Beach Boys between 2:00PM and 2:30PM

RaYoYo between 2:30PM and 3:00PM

Hopefully, CBS will add more details during commercial on Survivor tonight.  The end of program promo was a record setter: almost a full minute of stuff!!
