Production
This was the third film to be presented in Sensurround. Special low-frequency bass speakers were used during the roller coaster sequences. Sensurround was employed in only three other films released by Universal: Midway, Earthquake, and the theatrical version of Battlestar Galactica.
The film features an appearance by the band Sparks for the roller coaster's opening concert, playing the songs "Fill 'Er Up" and "Big Boy" from their 1975 album Big Beat. This role was rumored to have been offered to Kiss who turned down the part. Sparks later cited their appearance in the film when asked about the biggest regret of their career.
