Moonrocket

I have a question about an older flat ride...
It called "Moon Rocket" or "Moonrocket", it is a circular ride, here you see a picture:

In which park is/was a ride like this?

Ok.. the one in that photo was at steeplechase park in NY (coneyisland) it was a clone ride. In the CedarPoint textbook they show a photo of CP haveing one also. It was just a spinning ride. You sat in the cart and it spun around

Yeah, it's basically a prototype of the Bayern Kurve ride. It spins about as fast as a Musik Express ride.

Kings Island had one of these a long time ago, but got rid of it for some reason. Kennywood also had one, which I think was the same one Cedar Point had, but CP ended up selling it.

Wasn't that the ride on the movie "Sandlot", where they chew the tobacco and puke all over the place?

No, that was the Trabant, an early and terrific Chance ride.

First off let me say that Sandlot is one of my alltime favorites.

With that said, that really shows how technology has come over the years when it comes to flats.
