'''Gadget's Go Coaster''' (known as '''Chip 'n' Dale's GADGETcoaster''' in [[Disneyland]]) is a [[Vekoma Junior Coaster|junior roller coaster]] at the Disneyland theme park in [[Anaheim, California]], and the [[Tokyo Disneyland]] theme park, located in [[Urayasu, Chiba]], [[Japan]], near [[Tokyo]]. It is based on the work of the character Gadget Hackwrench from the [[Walt Disney Television Animation|Disney animated]] series ''[[Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (TV series)|Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers]]'' (1989–1990). Gadget is depicted on top of a small weathervane on the roof of the loading station, as well as on a postage stamp in the attraction's loading area. The Disneyland version also includes a static figure of Gadget before the coaster's lift hill.

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.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Strodder |first1=Chris |title=The Disneyland Encyclopedia |date=2017 |publisher=Santa Monica Press |isbn=978-1595800909 |edition=3rd |pages=212–213}}</ref> The Tokyo Disneyland version opened on April 15, 1996. At 0:44 seconds, it is the shortest attraction in Disneyland. The Disneyland version closed in March 2022 for a refurbishment and reopened in March 2023, with its current name as well as some new features.

==Ride==
[[File:Vekoma Junior Coaster - 207m.png|thumb|left|Track layout]]
===Disneyland Version===
The ride is primarily for children and therefore has small cars. While two children can fit into a single car, most adults would have to travel alone (or with a small child).

Before traveling up a lift hill, riders pass by a figure of Gadget (voiced by [[Tress MacNeille]]) as she says various comments. After the lift hill, riders then travel down and around Toon Lake. Near the end of the ride (the fastest turn), riders pass in-between a figure of Chip blowing through a straw with Zipper, and a figure of Dale holding a cup as Chip attempts to shoot water above riders' heads into the cup. The coaster comes to a stop and pulls into the station.

The attraction was closed for a refurbishment in March 2022 and reopened in March 2023 with its current name and also received new character figures Chip, Dale, Gadget and Zipper from the television series.<ref>{{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}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Lloyd|first=Spencer|url=https://wdwnt.com/2023/03/photos-video-rethemed-chip-n-dales-gadget-coaster-opens-at-disneyland/|title=PHOTOS, VIDEO: Rethemed Chip 'n' Dale's Gadget Coaster Opens at Disneyland|website=wdwnt.com|date=March 18, 2023|accessdate=March 18, 2023}}</ref>

===Tokyo Disneyland Version===
The Go Coaster is primarily for children and therefore has small cars. While two children can fit into a single car, most adults would have to travel alone (or with a small child). Guests board a train fashioned from [[Epioblasma haysiana|acorns]] and scavenged parts.
