Moving floor pieces

Does the house in the Nickelodeon version of Finders Keepers count?

Super Password's main game area was pushed into place by 2 stage hands.

Arguably, a ton of the other ones cited very likely had human power behind them. too. Why mechanize Bonus Island when you can hand a stagehand a rope?

Technically, the turntable on 80's Wheel would also fit the initial description too. Didn't $oTC's Winner's Big Money Game also have two sorta circular stands come from opposite sides of the stage to the center at the beginning of the round, as well?

Yep.

-I think the early seasons of GSN's Newlywed Game feature a rotating set
-The contestant island on Classic Concentration slid out the way for the car round, and back in for the rebus portion.
-And for the Hollywood Squares half-hour of the MG/HSq hour, an upper tier slid onto the stage...although as Chris mentioned, it was probably stage hands giving the illusion of a magic desk*
 
If there's something I truly miss from the good ol' days, it's moving set pieces, whether it's a door or turntable.

*And I'd rather keep it that way ;-)

I always thought that the dice table on High Rollers had a moving piece on it.  Not sure if I first saw it on the Trebek version or the Martindale version.  It seemed that the dice moved by themselves when they came back towards the contestants.

The piece on Stumpers worked sorta like the MG'7x set piece as far as the contestant/celebrity area goes.

Million $ Password is probably the most recent example.  Before the main game begins, where the players, celebrities & even Regis stand, the "stage" rises up.

Family Feud back in the Dawson years had a moving board.  It seemed that it was a 3-sided board(or was ir 4?) that make it seem like the board changes from survey board to what it was at the beginning for Fast Money & vice versa.

Would Pitfall with Alex Trebek count?  The elevator shafts were stationary though.  Hot Potato's set? (can't recall)

Conveyor belt I believe on Martindale's. On the original Trebek version, he used a stick.

It was 3.

Yes, the Yer Out couches slid back and forth depending on if they were in use / how many people were sitting on them.

The conveyor belt was in place on the 78 revival, and Alex controlled it. I believe Ruta/Elaine had the giant croupier deal on the original.

Because of the design, the conveyor on Wink's version would sometimes do an abrupt pull back if the dice ended up on the extreme end of the table, where the higher walls could partially or fully obscure the roll.

This is correct, it was a big acrylic croupier stick on the original.

(You guys I will discuss this with. I don't bother with the Karlberg Black Hole anymore.)

I believe the same kind of table was used on Las Vegas Gambit when the bonus game was switched to the one from HR. I recall sometimes the conveyor belt table would get stuck.

Speaking of Gambit, the "Big Board" on the original version had sliding doors that revealed the numbered "cards" from which the couples chose their prizes.

Second Honeymoon had the parents' seating sections rotate halfway towards the back during the kids' questioning round.

Cordially,

I'm nearly certain they used the exact table, dice and insurance markers from the then-recently-cancelled revival.

The first season's turntable had the Goldywed bonus round on the other side. It has been replaced by a large backlit logo, and the contestant island rotates at the beginning and end of every show.

The screen that showed the gameboard on Wordplay rotated to reveal the bonus round.

Can't forget the Perry and Eubanks Card Sharks. Perry's version had turntables on both sides of the stage while Eubanks' version had a turntable for the contestants and sliding doors for the cards. Both also had "G2T2" move into place.

Wipeout also had a turntable with a wall that revealed the car.

ISTR that both Perry Card Sharks and Wipeout had semicircular walls that rotated around a stationary circular platform. I wouldn't necessarily call those turntables (at least not in the sense that TPIR and MG 7x have/had turntables where the top of the platform moved), but I don't know of a good short description for them.

Also, how many independent movements were there on the CS '78 set? It seemed like the two walls hiding the main game and money cards boards moved independently of each other and anything else, but I suspect that G2T2 and the main game/money cards lecterns were all on the same drive.

It was always a visual treat to watch the entire set of "Shopping Spree" rotate to reveal the bonus round.

Scrabble: The game board moving in at the opening of the show, and also its rotating around for the Sprint

The contestant area did likewise, (the area with the blue background and the contestant desk was used for the crossword round, then before they cut to commercial you could see it start to rotate to the pink background where the sprint round was played.
