Space Rocket

 Manufactured by RG Mitchell, this white and red NASA Space Rocket was a very popular ride released in the early 1990s.  Upon insertion of a coin, the ride gently rotated back and forth.  It also had a lot of special features including atmospheric digital sound effects and Mitchells' infamous "rolling display screen".

The ride remained very popular for many years before production eventually ceased in the early 21st century.
