Gadget's Go Coaster

Gadget's Go Coaster is a roller coaster at the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, California and Tokyo Disneyland theme park, located in Urayasu, Chiba, Japan, near Tokyo. The ride is based on the work of the popular character Gadget Hackwrench from the 1989 Walt Disney Television Animation cartoon, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers. Gadget herself can be seen on top of a small weathervane on a building towards Chip and Dale's Tree House.

Both versions of the attraction are located in Mickey's Toontown, and the Disneyland version opened January 23, 1993, along with the Mickey's Toontown area. The Tokyo Disneyland version opened on April 15, 1996.

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. Once on board, guests are treated to a safety spiel audio recording by Gadget herself (voiced by Tress MacNeille). Guests travel through Gadget's salvaged old comb, soup can and thread spool, and over a small lake.
