i got a clue from one of the contesters, she said , evertime they drove to the wipeout location they always took a different road , so they couldnt find the exact location, so the point where it is must be accesable from multiple directions, maybe u guys can do something with it? becaus i just gave up, i searched for 3 months so..

Yeah, I've spent a few hours looking for it. Maybe I should offer a prize. If any contestants have an idea, feel free to pm me or post here! |

It's not hard to find. Problem is, when you get there you'll not see anything. And you won't be allowed onto the lot. They have security. Unless you want to go on a stealth mission in the hills, or sneak around after dark, your best bet is just watching the show, you'll see it all in broad daylight in all it's splendor! I don't know what this silly garbage about being "driven a different way each time" is. I was on the show, and they gave directions straight there. And if you were driven there it would have been a maximum of twice... and yes, most places have 2 directions of approach...
You have the google images, you can see behind the scenes on ABC, what more do you want? A piece of foam to frame for your wall?

However, I don't think it was so close to a large body of water... Tipster, All we want is the address or coordinates for google earth, so if you are willing to share...  |

bjorentje: Maybe YOU should read before you post. This whole thing started with Google satalite photos, and others said they want to go there. NOT talking about the international version. You brought that up without READING before you posted. wipeout: I don't get it. You already have google satalite images... and if you don't want to go there... what more do you want?

What we want to do is view the Course in our own internet browser, zoom in, zoom out, etc.  Plus if we can find the coordinates we have more info for the forum members, and likely could get a street address. We could also try using other satellite map sites and perhaps get photos from other dates.  |

I just checked google maps and google earth. They don't have anything better than what you already have. And there's not going to be anyone better than google. As for getting an address... I'm not going to risk my winnings on spilling the beans... but just so you know, the image on the left from your original post is exactly what you'll see from google. It's just rotated 90 degrees clockwise for some reason. Happy Hunting!
