Alternate Thread Title; What is, and what isn't, a SCOOP?
I very often see ride systems catagorized with specific terms by fans, with the most common verbage being to label attractions as "SCOOP's" or using a "Modified SCOOP system". This feels like a side of theme park discussion that has more unknowns than most.
What exactly is a SCOOP? Was Spider-Man IoA the first to use it? How much can the system be changed for the system to still fall into the category? Are there ride systems thought to be using that system that are actually another?
And for other ride systems, what kinds of crazy ride systems are out there that haven't been used in a major ride? Are there any ride systems that are close to extinction? How should ride system classifications be made?
I feel like there is some discussion to be had here! Excited to see how everyone might take this.
