The Amazing Race goes to Fuji-Q Highland

next wednesday night, on The Amazing Race season finalle, the three remaining teams go to what looks like Fuji-Q Highland. On the preview they showed tonight, it looked like they were on Dodonpa and some giant frisbee. Just letting you guys know if you want to see it...

The Amazing Race is a race that includes objectives that must be completed before going on with the race. For example, on previous episodes, they had to skydive, eat a bowl of crickets, and other things that has to do with the location they are in. On next week's episode, they will have to do something in Fuji-Q Highland.

They had to ride 3 rides and try to spot a man holding a yellow sign and when they told the ride-ops what the sign said they would receive their next clue.If they didnt see the sign, they would have to do it over again. They rode 1 flat (huss giant frisbee I think) and two coasters.

It was really great to see. My mom and I usually watch the show and we all knew I could so do this!!!

My favorite team won too!!! It so makes up for this past lousy Survivor ending.

What a great finish, I'm so happy with the result.

I feel sorry for them that they had to ride Dodonpa over and over. That's got to be incredibly painful, and looking for a sign can't help.

The Amazing Race isn't scipted. Have you even ever watched it?

steel, they didn't ride it over and over. Only once.


Overall, I thought this was one of the best seasons. I'm glad the team who won won. They provided a few laughs every episode.

At C3 (ACE event at Carowinds) the participants in the Amazing rACE had to ride different rides to get to each stop like in Amazing Race the show. It was basically a scavenger hunt/Amazing Race type deal and the winner got season passes.

So yeah, it could happen.

EDIT:

After reading what actually happened, that's pretty much what they did at Carowinds!!!

Too bad I didn't see this thread until today.

We watched it last night. First time we watched the show, and we're kicking ourselves for not having watched it the rest of the season. Great show, and lots of fun. Certainly a different feel to it than the majority of "reality competition" shows out there. We certainly liked who won, and thought they were the best of the three on there. Go hippies! :P

That was a good episode. They had some really nice coaster shots in there. I love the Amazing Race, but this was the first time I saw it this season.

It was cool to see hippie Tyler chanting "Dodonpa" and having a great time. The hippies were always upbeat and funny, and I'm glad they won. Did you know that hippie BJ is a Harvard graduate? That caught me off guard, although they were definitely smart dudes.

The funniest part for a coaster fan was Yolanda coming off of Fujiyama and saying that her internal organs were taking a beating. Gotta love them Togos . . .

Did anyone catch the hippies on the Early Show this morning? They were so funny, B.J. had on a harlarious purple King like outfit. Ray also proposed to Ulanda. It was pretty good.

Excellent! The way they kept moving the schedule around this season, I was afraid it was on the chopping block.
