Looking for the name of a ride.

Looking for the name of a carnival ride. I'm looking for more information on a carnival ride I went on about 10 years ago. It was set on temporarily on the boardwalk near the beach, I think Virginia beach. It had round, two-person cars, open in the front with a lap bar. The cars were similar to this ride. The motion, instead of going around in a circle, went in more of a vertical oval shape (the cars went up and down, and somewhat front to back). The cars moved past each other in a "scrambler" type motion, so it looked like they were going to hit each other. The cars would swoop down, rocking back and forth but not quite going upside down. I've never seen a video of this ride anywhere. Has anyone?
