Trivia
- Stock footage from Trucks!, Thomas and the Rumours, Oliver's Find, Make Someone Happy, James and the Red Balloon, and Edward's Brass Band is used.
- The Fat Controller references the Greek legend "Hercules".
- Pegasus' cart is really Trevor's hay cart from Twin Trouble.
- Some US versions have the original music instead of the new music.
- A production made miniature model of Pegasus was sold to wikia user Daniel Coffey from The Prop Gallery.
Goofs
- When Thomas leaves the station, a white blotch (presumably a film glitch) is visible in the centre-right.
- In the US narration, the event is referred to as a garden party, but the sign still says fete.
- When Percy arrives at Maithwaite, Toby and Henrietta pass by, but in the next scene, they are no where to be seen.
- In a deleted scene, Henry is on Thomas' Branch Line.
- When Harold leaves the party, it is daytime. However, because stock footage is used, in the next shot it is sundown.
