What Gosetto does
Gosetto Srl is an Italian manufacturer of amusement rides headquartered in Mosnigo di Moriago, province of Treviso, Italy. Founded in 1977 by Elio Gosetto and still family-owned, the company designs, manufactures, and installs custom attractions across four product categories: dark rides (indoor attractions with scenography, vehicles, and special effects), fun houses (walk-through attractions with interactive tricks), kiddie/family rides, and other products including the iconic bumper car (Dodgem) line, go-karts, tea cups, and coasters. Production is 100% in-house at the Treviso facility, with capabilities spanning steel construction (ISO 3834-1 welding, EN 1090), fiberglass theming, electronics, special effects, and on-site final testing. Proprietary technologies include suspended dark ride systems with magnetic braking, dual-rail transportation systems, RGB LED zoned bumper car floors with race-format features, and ongoing carbon fiber material research.
Gosetto serves three primary customer segments: fixed family amusement parks, traveling fairs and shows (via trailer-mounted variants), and shopping malls/family entertainment centers (via compact indoor formats like Hyper Ride). Its product portfolio includes both park-model (fixed) and trailer-mounted variants to address space constraints and operator mobility requirements. Notable reference customers span Liseberg Park (Sweden), Global Village (UAE), Comic Station (Belgium), Etnaland (Italy), Hyde Park (UK), Le Pal (France), Texas State Fair (USA), and Looping Park (Colombia), among others, with a footprint across 18+ countries.
The business model centers on project-based custom hardware sales delivered as turnkey solutions (design, manufacturing, delivery, installation, on-site testing) plus optional ongoing telephone/remote technical support. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by project complexity and customization. The company employs an enterprise field sales motion with global direct-to-customer distribution, supplemented by trade show presence at IAAPA (Orlando, Barcelona) and MENALAC Dubai, and partnership collaborations (Triotech for Hyper Ride, plus production/design partners such as P&P Projects, LifeFormations, Bentin Projects, and Quarry Fold Studio). The company is privately held, has no external investors, and emphasizes multi-generational craftsmanship continuity.
