Does the term apply to the ride vehicles on most C-tickets in Fantasyland? On a further technical note...when EPCOT opened, I remember the seats pivoting right and left to face each and every scene as guests traveled thru the attraction. For some reason, some of those vehicls used to get stuck in some areas of the ride, so they were then locked to just face forward, except at the top before the decent and then again at the bottom before arriving at the final platform.

You shoulda seen the crazed look on granny’s face the time we pushed the contraption down a big hill with her in the rocker. Left a yellow trail from top to bottom.

However, the reason why I asked is because that Goofy guy says "spinning" is not a feature of the omnimover vehicle, but since our vehicles at TDL's Hunny hunt DO spin, DO move in reverse, and take tight turns at high speeds... and assuming they are Ommimovers, they those motions would apply, but I guess they are not omnimovers after all, so my question may have been answered. So I return you to this snooze fest.
