Let's Go, Thomas (Japanese:レッツゴートーマス) is a Japanese coin-operated amusement ride developed by Asahi Tech Co., Ltd and released by Banpresto in 1992. The ride is commonly featured at various Japanese theme parks or Thomas & Friends-themed events across the country.
Riders board on Annie and insert a coin to ride across a designated layout, which usually feature various buildings or stations with other locations such as windmills or bridges. Different variations of this ride feature either Thomas, James or Percy as the main engine. A large statue of Sir Topham Hatt and representations of other characters, such as Henry, Bertie or the Post Van, are used to decorate the attraction, either as full models like the main engines or as cutouts. At the end of the ride, riders can collect one of twenty-four collectible cards.
A second variation of this ride entitled "Let's Go Thomas 2" was released in 2003 which allows single riders to ride inside Thomas.
