Rope Squirter
(motion)

A loop of string is thrown by a pulley attached to a spinning motor. Visitors twist the motor, causing the string to move in interesting ways. As the string hits various objects, including funnels, blocks, arms and hands, it takes on many shapes - some predictable, and others unexpected.
