Notes:
This is the second of the two "missing" early episodes which
feature the guys singing "When the Big Bologna was blue . . .
" (See previous case,
Mummy's the Word,
for more info.)
The
roller coaster footage was taken at Magic Mountain in Valencia,
California, aboard the Revolution, built the same year the
series was filmed. At the time it was the only coaster in
the world to feature a 360 degree vertical steel frame loop!
The scene on the coaster was the very first footage shot for the
series!
The
early revised draft of the script varied quite a bit from the
segments included in the revamped version later shown on
television. It also included interesting character
development which explains some of the long-standing mysteries
about C.A.P.E.R.! You can read more about this by visiting
