Trivia:

Elitch Gardens, the park where the movie is filmed at underwent a complete remodel, with all the signs for the park and for the rides being changed and renamed for the movie. However, there are a few times in the movie when you can see the real signs for the rides and park in the background.

Goofs:

Errors in geography: The park is supposed to be on the shore of the Pacific Ocean, yet in several shots you can clearly see the park is landlocked.

Quotes:

Sam Douglas: So uh, just another typical day at the park, eh boys?
Colt Douglas: Yeah, pretty boring, I guess.

Right to video...

This was horrible. I remember that the original movie was mildly amusing, but this stinker left me disgusted. This is one movie where I was actually wanting the villains to win, because of the annyoing, constipated sounding screeching noises that "Tum-Tum" was making for karate yells and what not. I actually laughed when Loni Anderson said "Rest in pieces". The first two movies were cute, the third was...blech, but when a movie stars Hulk Hogan.... slow up on that, you've already lost all the money that you put into this flop; and then some.
