I made a last minute trip down there yesterday to see both shows. All this reading about the changes made me VERY curious to see it in person not mention I couldn't wait two more months to see it on TV. Let me just say as much as I am a traditionalist, the new set looks amazing. Much brighter and fun. I heard pastels and I thought oh god no, but then once seeing it in person I must say the colors work quite well.
A few more details about the set:
While the logo on the door gives a nice clean split in the panels, the logo on the back walls and on screen graphic: the dollar sign overlaps a bit onto the red portion and is slightly larger.
The changing color strip looks really cool outlining the doors. They are all synched to eachother and alternate colors and are steady during game play.
The turntable is great with incandescent chase lights, similar to those previously found on the old doors, around the perimeter of the set piece where the contestants and drew stand to play a pricing game on the turntable.
The contestants row readouts have new colors, matching the pastels on the curtains in the audience section. The orange, blue, and red are now kind of peach-orange, turquise blue, and pinkish red? Green remained the same. Instead of 4 colors in the audience it's now just three with a string of lights between the color separations.
Giant price tag looks very cool with the new logo to the right and an elongated "diamond" shape made up of white globe chase lights that remind me kind of like an old sign you'd see in vegas and the entire thing is outlined in green outline.
Overall the set changes and music updates really have made this Drew's era. The Price has changed... It's not a bad thing, though!
If I can think of anything else that hasn't been said in other forums or on here about the week of tapings, I'll post later. Any questions? Feel free to ask. Have a good one, everyone.
