Description
When season 31 begins 9/16/13, so does a brand-new gameplay element. The "Express" round.
Placed on the red $700 in Round 3, the Express offers a "face value" of $1,000; if a contestant lands on it and calls a correct letter, they may either take another regular turn or risk their current earnings (including the Wild Card, Million-Dollar Wedge, and ½ Car tags) to "hop aboard the Express" by continuing to call correct letters, earning $1,000 per consonant. The player may also buy vowels, which still cost $250.The player remains on the Express until they solve the puzzle or call a wrong letter, the latter of which acts as a Bankrupt (and plays the slide whistle).A train horn plays when the wedge is landed on, much like the car horn of the ½ Car tags. The wedge is animated and "raised up" similarly to Free Play, which may indicate that it recycles the design (or at least the electronics) of the final Jackpot wedge.During the "Express Ride", the shot of that player shrinks down to a square window insert in the bottom-right corner with the puzzle board on the rest of the screen (similar to the Bonus Round). The player's current score is displayed below the window, and the logo-bug on the category strip appears to be replaced with an "Express" graphic.
