Gadget's Go Coaster (known as Chip 'n' Dale's Gadget Coaster in Disneyland) is a junior roller coaster at the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, California and Tokyo Disneyland theme park, located in Urayasu, Chiba, Japan, near Tokyo. It is based on the work of the character Gadget Hackwrench from the Disney animated series '' Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers''. Gadget is depicted on top of a small weather-vane on a building towards Chip and Dale's Tree House, as well as on a postage stamp in the attraction's loading area.

Both versions of the attraction are located in Mickey's Toontown, and the Disneyland version opened January 24, 1993, along with the rest of Mickey's Toontown. The Tokyo Disneyland version opened on April 15, 1996. It was the only remaining Disneyland ride to be based on a Disney Afternoon television series. It debuted three years after the show was canceled. At 0:44 seconds, it is the shortest attraction in Disneyland. The Disneyland version of Mickey's Toontown closed in March 2022 for a refurbishment. Disney has stated that when the land reopens in early 2023, Gadget's Go Coaster will be a "reimagined" attraction, and will be renamed Chip 'n' Dale's Gadget Coaster.

Ride

Disneyland Version

When riders walk up to the front entrance, they see the sign. The ride is primarily for children and therefore has very small cars. While two children can easily fit into a single car, most adults would have to travel alone (or with a small child). Guests board a train modeled after a homemade plane.

Once on board, guests hear a safety spiel by Gadget (voiced by Tress MacNeille). Guests travel through Gadget's salvaged old comb, soup can and thread spool, and over Toon Lake. Near the end of the ride (the fastest turn), cartoon frogs squirt water above guests' heads. The coaster comes to a stop and pulls into the station. The riders then return to Toontown.

The attraction closed in March 2022 to be "reimagined" and will reopen in early 2023.{{cite news, title=Mickey’s Toontown to Close for Overhaul on March 9th, Reimagining of Gadget’s Go Coaster and Others Confirmed, url=https://www.laughingplace.com/w/news/2022/02/17/mickeys-toontown-closing-march-9th-disneyland/, website=laughingplace.com, access-date=June 2, 2022, date=February 17, 2022

Tokyo Disneyland Version

When riders walk up to the front entrance, they see the sign for Gadget's coaster made out of random items. Above the loading dock is a portrait of the Rescue Ranger on a postage stamp. The Go Coaster is primarily for children and therefore has very small cars. While two children can easily fit into a single car, most adults would have to travel alone (or with a small child). Guests board a train fashioned from acorns and scavenged parts.
