With some Disney-esque music (the part from :09-:13 sounds familiar) and glitter effects that feel sickeningly sweet, plus Friedman throwing a switch that's apparently able to turn on the entire set at once (doubtful). I don't think there's anything in here that we don't already know.

Well, a few things of note...
1. The Wheel footage all uses the old layout - so either they just didn't bother to shoot new footage, or they're playing the new layout changes close to the vest. Since we've known about them for a good while, my money's on the former.
2. Potential puzzle spoiler at :03-:04. And if it's what I think it is, Wheel might actually sort of be catching up to the times, at least for one round.
3. And around :23, when the board is being tested, that one monitor on the third row which sometimes is slow to turn on... is still slow to turn on. Perhaps Wheel might need to look into doing a little maintenance on their control computer?
Other than that, yeah, nothing we didn't already know. We already have most if not all of the changes, and this promo doesn't show off any of them.

2. Potential puzzle spoiler at :03-:04. And if it's what I think it is, Wheel might actually sort of be catching up to the times, at least for one round. I noticed the same thing, but, like seemingly at least 90% of the video, filmed last season. That same puzzle is from R2, 5/20/14, filmed 3/27/14, E#6027, Tuesday's Shop Your Way Week episode, so I don't think they'd reuse it again that quickly. Noticed the Wheel spinning was still in rehearsal, as well, as it had the Express wedge, as well as the trip. Kind of makes sense canonically, since we see Harry pulling the lights contraption, meaning the studio has just opened. |

Yeah, that's where it was from then. The Compendium is behind, so I couldn't find it there, and the forum search for some reason didn't return it.

Well, all this despite being from Season 31, I learned something from this.
You have a $500-$900 wedge used for Round 3 and then you got a different wedge with $500-$900-$700 used for all rounds. So, at least I got something out of this.
