I watched over 3 hours of the reveal stream. It looks like a solid title from JJP. Surprising flow for a Pat Lawler design. I have owned other PL games and they are usually too stop and go for me. I have yet to own a JJP game. I really want a SE POTC and just from the stream I think I still want that more than a Wonka.
There were some GREAT rules explanations from Joe Katz, Keefer and Eric M. Even though they said the game is about 40% coded, there is a lot there! The rules integration with the LCD is truly amazing. Things like the candy jar filling up representing the spinner value. The 5 pedestals that bring up a Gobstopper representing progress(for what I don't remember, Golden Tickets?). The combo indicator to spell Scrumdidilyumptious and cash out like 19 combos looks very challenging. The Kids MB rules with the risk reward of trying to get more kids before starting the MB. Everything about the rule set is likeable for me.
Bottom line: The lower $7500 price point will certainly entice more 1st time JJP buyers.
