Amazing Race 10 Spoilers
CeeeJay:
I really wish I could add something to this!!! I don't know if I want to keep reading this because I love being surprised but at the same time I'm so CURIOUS!!! :whisper:

It's interesting how, in the Gasworks map on the filming permit, they have closed various intersections. It looks like they have tried to direct the teams to the west. That points them to the Aurora Bridge for their trip to the airport. This is the same bridge that teams in TAR3 used when they finished their race. But they were coming from some West Seattlle park. To get to the airport from Gasworks park (yes, I grew up in Seattle) the fastest way is Interstate 5 which is to the east of the park. It takes 27 min the fast way.
What will follow? I think the teams will take the Aurora Bbridge but will get hoplessly lost as it dumps them out into downtown Seattle. From the waterfront, 12 teams will have to scramble eastward through downtown to find the 5 freeway. Once they get on the 5 they will be okay. But the on-ramps are few and far between. ;D

I didn't grow up in Seattle, but I've been there a handful of times, most recently just last Christmas. The Aurora Bridge doesn't "dump" you downtown, it puts you right on Hwy 99, the Alaksan Way viaduct. That whisks you speedily above downtown, then takes you further south right to the 509 freeway and SeaTac. I thought that was the "secret" route locals used to get to the airport to avoid traffic on the I-5.
Chateau d If:
You may well be right about that. I just noticed that the permit map kind of blocks both directions. I guess those are blocks to hold back local traffic. So now I think the teams could go either way.
My time in the Seattle area ended so long ago and included some dumb mistakes driving around the Aurora Bridge. I was convinced that it would be trouble when Google maps came up with the route along the 5. After looking closely at the images I see that the "dump" I referred to is really just the road going into a nice tunnel. So, yea, it looks fast.
But you know, it was post-rush-hour late morning so I'm holding out for the 5 ! :knuckles:
