I can't stand the theme but I have to say that artwork looks really good.  Eyecatching.

I do like the artwork.  The top of the table is a bit busy, I can imagine easily losing track of the ball, but I guess that's what all recent pins are like.

I'm happy to see ANY pin get released at this point.

The "outlanes" between the flippers look interesting. The translight would give me nightmares if I ever owned one, but I do like the look of the playfield overall.  I realize that Wheel has been hugely successful in the world of slot machines, but I just can't imagine that success carrying over to pinball. Hopefully I'll get a chance to give it a try, there's a place near me that actually has a decent selection of pins, and they seem to get all the new Sterns.

How incredibly weird. The guy I met last weekend with the garage full of cabinets is one of the designers and programmers of that pin. His name is Lonnie Ropp ("coincidentally", he looks exactly like the contestand Lonnie on the playfield). He's a really nice guy. Said he has been working night and day on finishing the programming.
