So, this is our "new" wheel with everything from all rounds on it (credit to wheelgenius for most of these):  Yeah...just a tad unbalanced... |

Boy, talk about an overloaded Wheel for this coming season. I wasn't expecting the 1/2 car license plates to be a permanent thing after it was used for one week of shows last April but I guess we'll have to live with that.

Get rid of the Wild Card, the 1/2 Car tags, the Free Play, MDW, Prize, Jackpot, Mystery wedges, the second Bankrupt, and... THE GIFT TAG! Replace $5,000 with $1,000, change the red $900 to blue, the blue $500 to red, make the red $300 purple, the $550 orange, the orange $800 green, and change the green $600 to red and there's a good wheel.  |

^That is one loaded Wheel! Only 11 (13 if you count the Mystery Wedges) of the wedges on it are regular dollar amounts without anything covering them! That's less than half of the Wheel! (I know, not all the special wedges will be on it at once, e.g. the Jackpot and Mystery Wedges.)

I think it's interesting to see the Jackpot and Mystery wedges together, since they're of course never on the wheel at the same time. And at least there's always a regular cash wedge between the MDW and yellow $500.
Incidentally, I haven't been able to keep track of this in the past, but what did the following used to cover:
The 25 wedge and Big Money wedge from back in Season 25. I think the latter is where the FP is now, but I could be wrong.
What was where the FP is now up until Season 26? Another yellow $400?
I believe the glittered amounts moved to their current positions in Season 27, correct? If so, in Season 26, where were the glittered amounts and what was where they are now?
When did the Jackpot wedge move to where it is now? What used to be where it is now?
I'm guessing the current configuration is what they had since 10/4/99, since that's when the current cash values started, correct? Especially if so, I'm not asking about any pre-10/4/99 configurations.

Especially if so, I'm not asking about any pre-10/4/99 configurations. You're right on the first two. I'm not 100% on the rest, but I think I know it: The glittered amounts never moved. The purple $600 next to them just became a BANKRUPT. It used to be surrounded by $600s. The Jackpot always was on red $300 #2, but in the 90s (so probably before the date you posted), yellow $500 was a BANKRUPT, putting big money two to the left of that. |

You're right on the first two. But what about the 25 wedge? The glittered amounts never moved. The purple $600 next to them just became a BANKRUPT. It used to be surrounded by $600s. Then where was the second Bankrupt? And also was there a second Lose a Turn at some point since 10/4/99? Also, I remember there used to be 3 gift tags. Where were the other two? And when did they reduce from 3 to 1? |

Red $300 #2? There's only one red $300.
The 25 wedge sat on top of $550.
The second Bankrupt was never two right of the top dollar value. It was always either three right, one left, and during R3 in Season 25, one right.

It was always either three right, one left, and during R3 in Season 25, one right. When was it three right and when was it one left? And wouldn't three right be where the Jackpot wedge is? If so, how could it be there? And why was it moved for R3 in Season 25? Was it where the Big Money wedge was (or the FP is now)? And could you please tell me where the other two gift tags used to be, and when they were removed? And another question -- what color replaced peach when the HD started in Season 24? And what other colors were replaced, even if ever so slightly? |

Oh boy, I don't remember the 25 wedge... It was a wedge on the wheel during season 25 that gave the contestant 25 of something if picked up and won. IIRC, it was mostly $2,500 worth of something. |

Could someone maybe post or send a link to past wheel configurations, then I could get all these questions answered? Thanks.

Here's a quick diagram I made showing the second Bankrupt's placements over the years since the retirement of the multiple wheel templates.  |

Thanks for this! But here are questions:
In the "Jackpot Round 1998 - 2007" one, the Bankrupt is where the Jackpot is now, and you said always was. I'm guessing the top one (top left hand corner) is Seasons 16 - 24, and the one next to it is Seasons 14 - 24. And since the Jackpot started in Season 14, I wonder if just maybe the top left hand one is 1996 - 2007 as well.
As for the bottom left hand corner one, remember the Jackpot moved to Round 3 at the start of Season 18, so I wonder if that could be 2000 - 2007 for Round 3 instead, since there's no way of identifying Round 2 (2000 - 2002), Seasons 18 and 19.
And there's also no way of identifying Round 1 in any of them, except for 2009 - when it became the Jackpot Round.
These little sketches are great, and thank you for them from the bottom of my heart, but could you please either post or send the link to actual configurations, like Mario's Reply #111 from 7:21 on September 4? And identify which seasons they each came from?

And another question -- what color replaced peach when the HD started in Season 24? And what other colors were replaced, even if ever so slightly? I think you mean marigold. The two wedges you are referring to were never ever peach and a blue $600 replaced the $300, the $500 in marigold became blue as did the pink $300 by Lose a Turn. No peach or tan wedge. has been seen on the wheel since the upgrades in 1986, it was switched to a marigold color and was that way until 2006 then in 08 the blue $600 was switched to green allowing for yet another blue $500 that was formerly green. |

Actualy, the blue $600 replaced the red $600, the red $300 replaced the tan $300, the pink $900 replaced orange, the teal $700, $500, and $300 all became green, the blue $300 replaced pink, and the tan $500 became blue.

Nicky, the Jackpot was actually two to the left of the big money from 1996-8, so the label of 1998-2007 is correct for the first picture.
The Jackpot actually moved to Round 2 in Season 18 (it had previously been in Round 3). Round 3 for those years was the $10,000 Round, with a $10,000 "Oreo" wedge where the normal second Bankrupt would be (again, three right of the glitter).
Prior to 2009, there was only ever one full Bankrupt on the Wheel in Round 1. The $10,000 "Oreo" Bankrupt moved to Round 1 (from Round 3) for Season 20 (2002) and the debut of the Mystery Round; it was then replaced in 2008 by the Million Dollar Wedge. From Season 19 (2001) on, these wedges covered the orange $800, which would put them five to the right of the big money.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I still don't see any case where Bankrupt was two right (OR two left) of the top dollar value.

I'm sorry, but that's just entirely too much stuff on that wheel.

Round 3 for those years was the $10,000 Round, with a $10,000 "Oreo" wedge where the normal second Bankrupt would be (again, three right of the glitter). That was a MAJOR typo. I meant Round 2 and I knew all of that. Prior to 2009, there was only ever one full Bankrupt on the Wheel in Round 1. The $10,000 "Oreo" Bankrupt moved to Round 1 (from Round 3) for Season 20 (2002) and the debut of the Mystery Round; it was then replaced in 2008 by the Million Dollar Wedge. That I knew. From Season 19 (2001) on, these wedges covered the orange $800, which would put them five to the right of the big money. What did the $10,000 cover from 11/28/94 - Season 18? |
