A&W Manufacturing

A British manufacturer linked with small powered coasters

A&W Manufacturing is a British manufacturer associated in particular with the Go Gator model, a small powered roller coaster using a long themed train. This type of ride relies on continuous propulsion rather than a large drop and follows a compact circuit of steady bends.

These coasters suit family parks and travelling operations because their motion is easy to understand, their footprint is limited and their train provides a clear visual theme. Public sources remain limited, however, on the wider history of the company.
