Hey George...  Sorry, no picture available.  The movie, not the ride.... although the movie could certainly be considered a ride.  Imagine a 3 barreled cannon in a triangular pattern... it recoils and then rotates when returning to battery.  Way cool.

Sounds like an artillery version of a Webley.  Probably easier to make work in computer graphics than wood and steel.  Powder and shot would be disrupted for the second shot by the recoil of the first, and the third shot would be disrupted by shots one and two.  Doesn't sound practical as a real world muzzle loader.
