Trivia / The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera

• Market-Based Title: In some of its locations outside of Universal Studios Florida, it was known as Yogi's Wild Ride.
• The Other Darrin:
  • Mel Blanc and George O'Hanlon, the original voices of Barney Rubble and George Jetson respectively, died before development on the ride officially begun. Both of their respective roles went to Frank Welker and Jeff Bergman. ^note  Funnily enough, this ride came out a month before Jetsons: The Movie, where Bergman did the remaining dialogue for both George and Mr. Spacely after the two actors passed away.
  • Paul Winchell, who originally voiced Dick Dastardly in Wacky Races and Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines, declined to reprise his role as Dastardly due to a stroke he suffered several years prior. He was replaced by Michael Bell, whose near-perfect emulation of Dastardly's sinister personality would make Winchell proud. Winchell eventually got better and would return to voice Dastardly in the Fender Bender 500 segments in Wake, Rattle and Roll as the last time he would voice the character, with various actors such as Jim Cummings, Peter Woodward, and Jason Isaacs taking over for future appearances.
  • Daws Butler, the original voice of Yogi Bear and Elroy Jetson, passed away about a year and a half before the ride opened, and as such was replaced with Greg Burson and Patric Zimmerman respectively in both this and Jetsons: The Movie.
• Role Reprise: Returning from previous Hanna-Barbera productions are Henry Corden as Fred Flintstone, Jean Vander Pyl as Wilma Flintstone and Rosie the Robot Maid, B. J. Ward as Betty Rubble, Casey Kasem as Shaggy Rogers, Don Messick as Boo-Boo Bear, Muttley and Scooby-Doo, and Penny Singleton as Jane Jetson.
