--->You've seen the first twenty minutes of ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''? It's basically that.

-->'''Kevin:''' "It was a pelvic nightmare. This tainted the ride for many guests."

--->'''Kevin''': ''American Idol'' was representative of America itself. [-[[CaptainObvious Obviously, it's right there in the name.]]-] And it was a reflection of our obsession with the Idolization of celebrities- ''[[LateToTheRealization dang,]]'' [[CaptainObvious also right there in the name.]]

*** One of ''Garfield's Nightmare'''s first dark passageways was splattered with fluorescent material, which Kevin notes was "''definitely added'' by Halloween Productions during the refurbishment and was not [[BodilyFluidBlacklightReveal the result of 103 years of bad aim".

** Kevin gives the winner of the fifteenth [[UnCanceled and supposedly final season]] of ''American Idol'' as one of several possibilities, then says that if the viewer can guess which name is real without looking it up, they can print out a certificate he puts on-screen. The text on the certificate is as follows:

[-It is assumed that you have not upgraded your television set since 2016, [[TakeThatAudience as this certificate proves that you have not upgraded your taste in television shows since 2002.]]-]\\

** When discussing the show's need to find a new judge in the wake of longtime host Paul Abdul leaving, Kevin explains that "they needed to find someone who was marketable, likable, easy-going, and all-round, kind." Cut to [[Creator/EllenDeGeneres Ellen]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_DeGeneres#Allegations_of_on-set_bullying DeGeneres]].

** An anecdote from a Dream Ticket winner includes the winner saying that getting the ticket was the best day of her life. Kevin comments that this hyperbolic statement was fine, as the winner was only fourteen at the time.

** The Golden Dream Ticket to skip the line for the actual show's auditions is described as "the best [=FastPass=] ever", which prompts Kevin 's voice to start echoing the word "[=FastPass=]" as clips of the [=FastPass=] system's various iterations are shown.

** One issue brough up with the movie studio tram tour being incorporated into an active movie studio is that the New York set was placed too close to a pyrotechnics demonstration for the tram tour, which would regularly go off and make too much noise for the set to be useful for filming during park operating hours. This led to a hit in the popularity of the tram tour, as there was a lack of active productions to see... [[Catch22Dilemma because of the tram tour]]. Later in the video, it's mentioned that Disney hoped that film productions who decided to shoot in the park "didn't mind the nearby explosions that were rigged to go off every twenty minutes."

*** When the episode eventually gets to Garfield becoming a mascot for Kennywood, Kevin brings up a Paws, Inc. spokesperson mentioning that it was a top pick for Jim Davis in part because of its legacy as a picnic spot- and Garfield "never met a picnic he didn't like".

---->'''Kevin:''' ...in all of my research, I have never come across a ride in which major publications, ''journalists'', have reported consistently, '''constantly''', on a ride's reputation like the ''Old Mill'' at Kennywood. I found a newspaper article from ''1934'' talking about how the ride is a great spot for couples, and the 1984 article in which couples were interviewed about their romantic activity ''pushed me over the edge''. [[AccidentalInnuendo ...Not what I meant.]] After hearing mention that sometimes boats would pull into the station with no one inside, I knew that I had to go deeper. ''Dang it!''
