Here are my ideas (copied from my post on the Wheel of Fortune Lovers Forum):
* No more Toss-Ups
* No more theme weeks
* Top Dollar Values are $2500-$5000-$7500-$10000
* Vowels are $500
* Wheel templates are changes after round 2 and 3 with the 1986 colors returning
* Lowest value is still $300, but appears a total of 5 times on all four wheels. Not including the sole $300 in round 2 being covered by a prize in round 2, and one of the $300s being covered by a prize in round 4.
* Prize Puzzle, Mystery Round, Gift Tags, 1/2 Kia Tags are all retired.
* Jackpot returns to Round 3 but if a different format: The Jackpot starts at $5000 and increases by $1000 every day until won, and it is claimed and won like a prize.
* The Free Spin Token returns to Rounds 1 and 2 with the token placed over a random amount, with that amount being awarded per letter as well as the Free Spin.
* The Wild Card will be on the wheel for Rounds 1-3 and will be placed over a $400 with that amount being awarded per letter as well as the Wild Card.
* A new prize will be placed on the wheel for rounds 2 and 4 with the prize only being available for that round (unless there are more that 4 rounds).
* The practice of only having a specific category only once per game will be abandoned.
* *Some* bonus categories will return with a bonus of $2500 and it will be available to all contestants (as was the case before 1995).
* Regular categories will also occasionally have bonuses attatched to them, but not regularly.
* The contestants will have a three-day returning champion limit.
* The bonus round will now offer four bonus prizes as well as cash. The layout of the bonus wheel is as followed:
(These prizes are just examples)
(2) $25,000
(2) $30,000
(2) $35,000
(2) $40,000
(2) $45,000
(2) $50,000
(1) $65,000
(1) $75,000
(1) $85,000
(1) $100,000
(2) Cadillac CTS
(2) Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
(2) Diamond Earrings
(2) Winnebago Trailer
If a contestant wins a prize, it is replaced with two $25,000 envelopes if that contestant returns. If another prize is won, it is replaced with $30,000, and if another, it is replaced with $35,000. This only applies if the contestant returns to the bonus round the next day.
The One Million Dollars will still replace the $100,000 if a contestant makes it to the bonus round with it.
The only "theme" week that would remain is Big Money week and for that week the Big Money wedge would return on the wheel for round 3. It's values will be $5000, $7500, $10,000, $25,000, Lose a Turn, and Bankrupt. The values will be won the same way they were in the first week of season 25, with BIG MONEY appearing on the contestants scoreboard and it being won like a prize (NOT put in the bank and able to be spent on vowels). The wedge would be worth a regular $1000 after the Big Money is won.
Also during Big Money week, one of the $25,000 envelopes in the bonus round will be replaces with a $250,000 envelope.
There would be two Big Money weeks per season, one towards the end of Fall, and the other in the middle of spring.
