Trivia

• On this level, there's a "Haunted house" ride that the player can go through.
• There is a section near the Rocket Ride where you can hop the wall and encounter an alligator chasing you, if it collides with you it will count as out of bounds.
  • There is a glitch where if the alligator manages to touch the skater by sliding the alligator model where the snout is above the log rail with the skater on top of the said rail, he will bail and the alligator will disappear, leaving him able to skate freely, but landing on the ground will trigger an out of bounds. This is likely because the chase was meant to happen on the ground, and the game was not scripted to have the bail caused by the alligator to reset the skater.
• A gorilla can be seen on one of the tea cups.
• If you enter a teacup on the teacup ride, it will trigger a unique out of bounds saying "No Free Rides!"
• Outside the carnival grounds, there is a water tower with the name "La Douche" written on it.
  • The water tower may hint at the level taking place somewhere in Texas.
  • Also, "la douche" can be French for "the shower".
• There is a guy standing in front of the goat behind the Rim Jam'n basketball game. This is the first of the running gag featuring the goat in the Tony Hawk's series.
• There are two minigames in the level. One involves a shooting gallery, where the player must press one of the four face buttons when the target reticule crosses over the corresponding target. The other is log cutting contest, where the player is pitted against two opponents and must saw more logs than the opposition.
