  • Giovanola Freres SA era un'azienda svizzera specializzata nella costruzione e realizzazione di attrazioni per parchi divertimento. Sebbene fosse nota maggiormente per quello, costruiva anche centrali elettriche, serbatoi di stoccaggio dell'acqua, condutture, ponti autostradali e molti altri prodotti in acciaio. Inoltre, Giovanola costruì alcuni sottomarini, tra cui l'Auguste Piccard, il Ben Franklin e il F.-A. Forel. Lo stile dei binari che Giovanola utilizzava per le sue montagne russe è molto somigliante a quello che tuttora adopera l'azienda svizzera Bolliger & Mabillard. Questo è dovuto principalmente al fatto che Giovanola era strettamente correlata con quest'ultima società, a cui forniva i pezzi d'acciaio modellati, utilizzati da essa in seguito per la realizzazione dei circuiti delle sue montagne russe.
