 According to someone on Twitter, they were "taping something". This either means the show is coming to NY for Season 30 ( ;D! ) or they were just taping bumpers or the like (after all, the NY ones they use now are 4 years old).
EDIT by cu2010: CONFIRMED, see 10th post. |

^How could you draw that conclusion from this of all things?

Might want to turn in your fan cards after this, guys: It's Vanna, holding an umbrella (and walking?) in a light New York shower. And when was the last time that happened...?  (In other words, it was a joke.  ) |

^Yeah, admittedly, I shouldn't have said that. And I certainly hope I don't -- that'd make me obsessive and such; I'm a fan, not a superfan (again, I hope). Sorry about that, guys.  |

It's OK.  Let's just try to keep this on topic and see if any more news of this comes in (I didn't see any more sighting reports since last night). Here's another picture uploaded on Instagram last night showing them filming:  And I found another tweet from somebody who sat next to Vanna on a plane, suggesting that they left the city. And here's another picture posted on Flickr from Washington Square Park: www.flickr.com/photos/martiantone/7253377862/According to the tags, this does have something to do with S30. Consecutive posts merged. |

Awesome! I do hope they travel to another location, though, other than NYC. One city per season isn't enough, IMHO.

This just in...New York shows for S30 are CONFIRMED! ;D The shows will be taped March 15, 16, 18, and 19 of 2013 and will air in May. But why announce them and tape the on-location segments this early? Do this sort of thing around a month before the scheduled event, not ten months before. Doing this stuff now means that what you tape may not only end up being outdated, but entirely pointless if the tapings have to be cancelled for one reason or another. (And if they really want to celebrate 30 years, they should do some shows in beautiful downtown Burbank -- preferably, if it's still there, the studio where eight-year-old Wheel began doubling its output.) |

This is actually around the same time of year the S25 tapings were announced as well. It just looks like the show is now doing only one set of road shows per season from now on. If they did this about a month before, the weather wouldn't be as warm. If there's any time to shoot promos in NY, it's spring or summer. Besides, it will give tons of time for audition preparations. |

That's a permanent decal? Will that be on all of the Gray Line Buses? If so, I'll look out for them next time I go to New York.

Nope, just that one bus has the permanent decal.

You would think they could have at least used the season 29 logo... They probably used the S27 logo because it works better with city themes being like a billboard and all. In fact, the decal actually replaces the "Hollywood sunset" background with a NY night skyline. In larger versions, you can see the Brooklyn Bridge on the right. |
