Alligator

 Manufactured by Whittaker Brothers, the Alligator was released in the mid-1990s.  It shared a similar design to many other Whittaker animals rides of the time, with a cut-out in its back, and space for two riders, with each having a random steering wheel!

The ride played a cut version of "The Unicorn Song" when in motion.  It also had a push button for a "growl" sound effect.

As with many other Whittaker Brothers rides, the Alligator underwent a colour makeover around the turn of the 21st century to give him a more modern appearance.
