New Zealand's Wheel of Fortune

I appreciate the help, StrangerCoug. If you can ask the person if (s)he can share shots of all the Wheel's values with you, that'd be terrific. If the mods are okay with those shots being posted here, that can also be a big help.

BTW, could you please share with me what you do know, just for the heck of it?

And there he is. I've dug up an old PM he gave me on the other site, and his recreation is the following. These are in clockwise order starting from top dollar and the colors may be off.

ROUND 2
Silver $690
Orange $180
Red $210
Green $480
Yellow $280
Orange Lose a Turn
Yellow $165

His plans for what he called the "New Zealand Retro Tournament" at the time was to call the partial red wedge a red $470 and use (starting from the yellow $165) a red $550, an orange $110, a yellow $320, and a green Free Spin space for the values he couldn't get.

* The mockup RichardGHP gave me uses a darker shade of orange on these than the rest of the orange wedges on the layout. That might be useful.

I consider layout changes a possibility since what I got from available-in-America footage doesn't line up with a few of these.

That I can do. As StrangerCoug mentioned, I made up mock wheels which I am happy to post in the International Layouts thread; also as mentioned, the "O for awesome" episode is not terribly helpful in determining the layouts for rounds 2 and 3, hence the Unknown spaces and the partial $4-- wedge.

As regards your question, no shoppping was involved—it's much closer to the 2008 revival in that respect. You may or may not be aware that the bonus round wheel played like a wheel full of prizes. In this case (possibly other episodes; I don't know), BONDS, DINNERSET, LOUNGE, JEWELLERY, HOLIDAY, and TELSTAR (I assume a Ford Telstar, which was and still is a popular Ford model in New Zealand). Everything's visible, so the contestant knows what they are playing for. In this case, the winner was playing for the jewellery but didn't solve _ _ / L _ _ _ / _ _ / _ H _ / L _ _ / _ _ / _ U _ R Y.

On another topic, could you tell me how I would go about changing my name so that it's properly capitalised? I go by RichardGHP everywhere else.

For those who know about my "Collect" prize wedge, it has yet to arrive. Since there's no post today, I'm expecting it tomorrow, Tuesday at the very latest.

Anyway, for those who want to see Tua's episode intact, your wish has been granted at long last. Please enjoy!

Well, we're still uncertain of all the values. I did make the layouts a few months ago, but I know I need to make some changes.

One of the changes is to the center. It's silver with a white border, and on regular episodes (not the celebrity episodes), it has the same shape as the circular contestant backdrops.

On celebrity episodes, it has a star.

I just realized that the New Zealand Round 2 and 3 layouts come very close to being the respective Australian layouts with half the template reversed.

I made some works in progress of the Wheel layouts used on New Zealand's version of Wheel back in 1994 based on this recap.

The values with blue numbering are guesses based on some math I did of how the values were raised from the layouts used in 1991. I'm not certain if these are right or not. I highlighted them in blue to show which values I'm not sure about.

I hope it's OK to post my artworks of the NZ wheel here. Also, I found that the center of the wheel is smaller than ours, and Australia's. Also, about the center's design, I can see that it's similar to the contestant backdrops, but I wasn't sure how it was rotated for each round with the top dollar amount facing up. But what the heck?

And let's include a blank bonus template. Like in Australia, I know the gold glittered areas are for the car given away.
