Behind the scenes

 * The plot is the merger of two parodies, with Wonderworld being a parody of Delos from the 1973 movie Westworld, and Mr. Marino is a parody of Mr. Roarke from the 1977 TV series Fantasy Island.
 * Velma says "Jinkies" thrice.
 * Shaggy says "Zoinks" twice.
 * Mrs. Hudson isn't explicitly identified on-screen.

Errors

 * Why would a fake publication from the 19th-century print modern 20th-century news.
 * Scrappy gets bigger when he exits from inside the helmet.
 * Velma says "Jeepers," instead of Daphne.
