Gabby, Stripes, Starla, Darington and Watts don't appear in this episode.
Going by production order, this is the eighth episode of the fourth season.
Before this episode aired, it was listed in descriptions as "T. Rex Trouble".
This is the first episode aired after the show's fourth midseason summer hiatus, as Hamilton and Faxon were voicing George and Mr. Krupp respectively on The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants.
This is the first and only time to date AJ does not dismount from Blaze once throughout the entire episode.
Blaze and Zeg's Robo-Racer Modes were shown in merchandise long before the episode premiered.
The song played when Dance-a-saurus square dances with Crusher is the same tune played when Blaze and Starla were riding a raft in Cattle Drive.
Dinosaur Valley reappears since Dino Dash, and the dinosaurs return since their last appearance in Dinosaur Parade. Like the other animals, their appearances were redesigned to more realistic dinosaur looks, especially the truckodactyls.
Unsurprisingly, Chompy is the only baby t-rex referred to with gender-related pronouns.
It’s revealed Fluffy is a father.
This is the second time Blazing Speed is used on whatever Blaze is riding on after Race for the Golden Treasure.
This is the last Robot Riders episode that Blaze honks his horn.
This is the last episode where cliffhanger fade-outs remain intact on all digital releases. Reissues of all episodes prior to Meatball Mayhem on Nickjr.com will have the fade-outs removed.
This the last episode until Toy Trouble! where the third scene of Crusher’s subplot is the episode’s last scene all together.
This is also the second and final episode to date where there is no Crusher scene before going to the third obstacle, the first being Dino Dash.
This is the third time where Crusher's dislike for ballet is shown after "Runaway Rocket" and "Fast Friends".

Goofs[]
Before the second cliffhanger fade-out, Blaze looks at the viewer with a shocked expression, but when the scene continues from that, he is smiling, and the lighting is different.
