question about a fair ride

A couple days ago i went to a fair and they had this weird ride. It was like the Zipper but it was in a complete circle and it moved like a ferris wheel and you sat in these cages that flipped upside down and stuff. I loved it but it didnt have a name. Does anyone know what it is called?

I know when I was a little kid it used to be called the Rock-o-plane. I think they've given it a different name, though.
The strawberry festival in sylvania, oh had a ride called ring of fire which was a complete circle, that took you upside down in both directions.

Not the ring of fire - That was originally known as Superloops.

The rock-o-plane looks like this: http://www.scotlandsfunfairs.com/jtrockoplane.htm or http://www.scotlandsfunfairs.com/jbrockoplane.htm

The Wood County Fair starts tomorow and there is a ride like that, so I'll take a look see...
