Trivia
- This video takes place at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California and was recorded in summer 1989.
- One of the roller coasters that was used in this video, Colossus, was converted by Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) into Twisted Colossus in 2015.
- Revolution was refurbished into The New Revolution in 2016 with a VR experience. Two years later, the VR option was removed.
- Wile E. Coyote Coaster is now known as Magic Flyer.
- The restaurant where the kids ate at, Candy Kitchen, is now known as Cartoon Candy Kitchen.
- Viper, Six Flags Magic Mountain's 1990 addition, was opened on April 7, around a month after this video was released. However, it wasn't built when this video was filming.
- Ann & Christina Gibbons, who previously appeared as sailor dancers in Kidsongs: What I Want to Be!, are credited in this video as Annie Gibbons and Christine Gibbons (their only appearances as leading Kidsongs kids).
- This is the only video to feature all the Potter kids (Tarrish, Trek, Triskin, and Tuhk) as Kidsongs kids. This is also the only music video to feature Triskin Potter as a leading Kidsongs kid. She previously cameo appeared in Kidsongs: A Day at the Circus and was one of the hosts of season 1 of The Kidsongs TV Show.
- This is the only video where Kristy Espinoza appears by herself; the other videos that she appeared in also featured her older sister, Tina Marie.
- This is the only video where Tyler Andreassen appears by himself; he would appear in Kidsongs: Very Silly Songs and in Kidsongs: Play Along Songs in which both of them would feature his younger sister, Rebecca.
- Choreographer Andre Tayir plays the worker of the dolphin and diving show in the song, "Splish Splash" while Mary McLoughlin, Nancy McLoughlin's sister-in-law, plays the tour guide in the song, "Let's Twist Again."
- Like with Kidsongs: A Day at Old MacDonald's Farm, the end credits of this video uses the instrumental version of the song, "Skip To My Lou."
- In "A Pirate's Life", Tyler Andreassen, Suzanne Aoki and Kristy Lynn Espinoza appeared.
- This is the third Kidsongs video to have a "The End" card after Kidsongs: A Day with the Animals and Kidsongs: A Day at Camp. However, this card is shown before the credits in this video.
