So, find sets of 3 boards with each leg's RB question and Detour choices.  Sounds fun.

Or 2 and 4. Yellow for Detours (2 kayaks for one Detour) and red for Roadblocks.

based on the press pics and what we got from July's findings, the leg structure will be like this:

Space Needle (RB?) - Scramble - Final memory task - West Point Lighthouse - Finish line

Space Needle (RB?)

Looking back at the sightings, the number tags for the Space Needle clue box were blue, not red. Guessing that they also learned about the Scramble at Chihuly Garden and Glass.

I think the order is Space Needle; scramble; lighthouse; memory challenge; then finish line :)

They traveled to the lighthouse from the direction of Lake Union. All of the Scramble tasks are south of Lake Union, and they did not use the Lake Union base for the final memory task. They could have gone to the lighthouse and flew to the Kenmore base.

IMO - I don't know if float planes are allowed to fly at night. They may have driven to the memory challenge location. The lighthouse is to the west, the northern float plane base is north Lake Washington (Kenmore), and the finish line is east.

They'd be backtracking if they went from memory challenge to lighthouse and then back east to the finish line.

Ah! So this is why we lost track of Rob & Corey on finale light, they just went a different order than the other 2

Also I like this structure much better than the 34 premeire

What we know so far. There was probably an additional location after the scramble for teams to get their plane models; I don't think production would have had three models waiting at each of the three scramble locations!

The Amazing Race 35 Finale Sneak Peek

For the first time in 35 seasons, the final leg will take on a bit of a different structure. Rather than being a linear series of tasks through Seattle, the "Scramble" is making its return. First debuting in the premiere of season 34, teams are given a series of tasks they can complete in any order. Once they've finished all the tasks, they can then proceed forward.

In Joel & Garrett's car, we see a miniature Space Needle. Perhaps that's their (only) clue upon leaving SeaTac, a la teams in TAR1 receiving a replica Eiffel Tower from Mukuni Village?

Where is the Finale Findings Thread? I looked and couldn't find it.

The absence of Pit Start times for Leg 12 reveals some editing "magic":

- To lay the groundwork, we know the clock on St Patrick's Cathedral is accurate. When Joel/Garrett check in at the end of Leg 11, the clock shows 5:40pm, matching up with the sun/shadow angles for that time. The clock also shows Rob/Corey finishing their mat chat at 4:20pm, while Greg/John check in at around 4:30pm and chat until 4:50pm.

- For the finale, we see teams boarding a United Airlines flight in Ireland (the United aircraft and an Irish/English bilingual airport sign are in the same shot).

- United has four flights a day leaving Dublin, leaving at 9:20am (for Newark), 11:25am (for Chicago), 12:15pm (for Washington DC), and 1:35pm (for Newark). From deductions on the Transport Thread, we know teams took the 9:20am flight on the morning of Fri 7 Jul.

- Theoretically, teams should be released early that morning to make the flight. Joel/Garrett are released with a clear shot of the cathedral clock showing 4:55 (am or pm). But that's an awful lot of people to be leisurely walking around the park at 4:55am, isn't it?

- When teams get in their taxis, we have a shot of an open Prime Pizza, which should be open only from 4pm to midnight. To add to this, we get a glimpse of the clock in Joel/Garrett's taxi showing 17:07. But a late afternoon Pit Start would have teams miss all United flights leaving that day, so...

- This means that after teams checked in to the Pit Stop on Wed 5 Jul, they returned to St Patrick's Park in the afternoon the next day (Thu 6 Jul) to film "fake" departure shots, but didn't actually go to the airport until the day after, on the morning of Fri 7 Jul.

Sneaky sneaky!

On their podcast Joel & Garret said that the flight they were supposed to fly out on was canceled so they had to wait 18 (or was it 15) hours for another flight. So I would guess that they did release them at 16:55 and they were supposed to be on a flight later that night but ended up having to wait until the next morning for their new flight.
