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.
- Z-Force was demolished to make way for Batman: The Ride, which opened opened on March 26, 1994, around four years after this video was released. Batman was featured in Here Comes a Roller Coaster and Other Fun-filled Rides... which was also filmed at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
- Ninja is still accepting passengers to this day, although it's not as fast (or scary) as some of the newer coasters at the park.
- Josh would later return to Six Flags Magic Mountain as the voice of The Flash and Green Lantern in the park's 2017 addition, Justice League: Battle for Metropolis.
- It is unknown what happened to some of the smaller rides shown in this video, like the apple ride. However, Tweety's Escape can be seen for a brief moment in "Let's Twist Again," and that ride is still running to this day.
This is the first 90's Kidsongs video.
