Title: TPiR Reveal Ques.
Post by: ET206 on October 30, 2021, 03:24:21 AM

I know the Race Game Curtain and the Giant Price Tag, but what is the name of the smaller fly away reveal?

You mean the one with the dollar sign on it that's in front of Door #1?

It's legit called "the Dollar Sign."

^To that end, Steve, ISTR the "splitting" reveal by door 3 is called "the Reveal". Am I remembering that correctly?

I've seen it called both "the Reveal" and "the Split."  A question for Scott, maybe?  (I always use the former, for whatever that's worth.)

Since we're doing this, does anyone know the thing with the spinny half-wall they used to use for IUFBs?  It was the same concept as the prize coves from Golden Road, but much smaller.

I'm no help on this one. I know it's something mundane and straightforward like one of those two names, but because it's so straightforward, I never retained the specific terminology.

There's "the clam" which is a cylinder big enough for a model to fit inside and which opens like a clam shell.

There's "the basket" which flies in and comes to rest in the middle and slightly upstage of contestant's row. It usually contains jewelry.

I've been trying to picture this one in my head for over a week.  All the others sound familiar, except for this one.  Would someone be so kind as to share a screengrab or link to a video?  Thank you in advance!

Here (https://youtu.be/tUJFM4cmqis?t=1898)'s the dollar sign in action.

Eventually they changed it so they could switch between a variety (https://youtu.be/fcTFI6K21No?t=2075) of (https://youtu.be/Poo7FGfL7s4?t=1051) different (https://youtu.be/SWUMrgJ-z0I?t=1626) flats (https://youtu.be/R9gMc9ol9EQ?t=1105). I presume that every flat depicted a dollar sign because, after all, the reveal was called the "dollar sign."

That last one is actually the only one they've used for several years now...and I want to say whatever came before it was being used exclusively, too.
