Why the Confusion?

Former ride "Rocket" (1950s–1990s) was a small steel coaster (Mack Wild Mouse type) removed before Screamin' Eagle. Some long-time visitors recall both eras. Also, "Rocket" is a common coaster name (e.g., Space Mountain variants).

Current Rocket-Themed Ride

Rocket Reentry (2023) — Zamperla NebulaZ (flat ride, spinning gondolas). Not a coaster.
