Williams in the next video), in which they all appeared in Kidsongs: Very Silly Songs.
- At the beginning of the video, Triskin wanted to go on the roller coaster, Trek wanted to go on the rides that get wet, David wanted to go on the bumper cars to challenge someone against him, Myisha wanted to go on the pirate ship, and Andrea and Josh wanted to go on everything. Sh'Vaughn was the first person to enter and Katinka was the last person to enter.
- In "Let's Twist Again", Ryan said he wanted to go on the Ninja, and Josh wanted to go on the Z-Force. But Hillary thought they were scary.
- In "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On", Trek was with Terrence, Hillary was with Catherine, Sh'Vaughn was with Josh, Tuhk was with Triskin, and Katinka was with Tarrish.
- In the song "Anything You Can Do" it was a competition between the boys and the girls. First, it was Trek taking on against Nicole. Second, it was Dannon against Hillary. Finally, it was Josh competing against Sh'Vaughn. Gordon and Kristy were also featured in this song.
- In "Little Deuce Coupe", David challenged Ryan on the bumper cars. Suzanne, Christine, Annie, Shauna, Jennifer, Ninette, Andres, Kenny, Brian, Richard, Tyler, Andrea, Malcolm, Sean, and Jensen were also featured in the song.
- In "Fast Food, Nicole was with David, Tarrish, Katinka, and Nicholas, and Triskin was with Myisha, Ryan, Dannon, and Tuhk.
- In "Here We Go Loopty Loo", Sh'Vaughn was with Katie, Suzanne was with Andrea, and Nicholas was with Hillary, but Dannon, Trek, Terrence, Josh, and Christine rode in singles. However, Trek rode with Christine and Terrence rode with Josh in the part of " Here We Go Up and Down".
- In "A Pirate's Life", Myisha, Kenny, Ryan, and Catherine led the kids Tuhk?, Tyler, Sean/Raquel and Kristy in search for the treasure on the pirate ship.
- Andre and Mary replaced the previous adult cast. Andre was best seen in the song "Splish Splash" as the worker at the dolphin and diving show wearing a blue diving suit, and Mary was best seen as the tour guide in "Let's Twist Again" wearing a beautiful red shirt.
- One of the roller coasters that was used in this video, Colossus, was reformatted into Twisted Colossus in 2015.
- The new roller coaster, Viper, was opened on April 7, 1990, around three months before this video was released. However, it wasn't built when this video was filming.
- In addition, Hillary says Ninja is scary. Just wait until she rides X2 if the kids ever get together as adults to shoot a remake of this video.
- This is the first 90's Kidsongs video.
- This is the only video with the large number of kids than 16-28 kids.
- This was the first cassette in the early 90's Kidsongs music.
- Songs from this video can be seen in the Kidsongs TV Show.
- David Chan and Kenny Ford, Jr. and Triskin Potter are Kidsongs teens/teenagers.
- Josh Wiener and Trek Potter wore the same scarfs from the previous video but they wore different t-shirts and shorts. However Ryan Olson wore a scarf in "Let's Twist Again" but just in that song.
- In "Anything You Can Do," Hillary, Trek, and Nicole's conversation at the beginning could be considered the inadvertent precursor to the infamous "I found you, faker!" scene in Sonic Adventure 2.
- Ride the Roller Coaster kid screaming sounds were heard on Very Silly Songs in the closing.
