The roller coaster crash that kicks off the film was significantly more graphic, with flying bodies and gore as the cars derail and topple over. The sequence was toned down considerably to avoid an "R" rating.
The filmmakers were originally going to include a scene of the young man on the phone with his mother, to establish a motive behind his plot, namely to get the money from larger amusements parks that were forcing his parents' small family-owned amusement park out of business. The filmmakers decided that the movie was more suspenseful if the motive behind the young man's actions were never known. It would also keep the audience from sympathizing with the young man's situation.
This was the third film presented in "Sensurround", a special low-frequency bass speaker setup consisting of four huge speakers loaned by distributors to select theaters showing the film. The system was employed only during certain sequences, and it was so powerful that it cracked plaster at some movie theaters. Four other Universal films used Sensurround: Earthquake (1974), Midway (1976), Battlestar Galactica (1978), and Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack (1979). Alien (1979) had a limited release in 70 mm with Sensurround.
The roller coaster featured in the main climax of the movie is the Revolution at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. It opened in 1976, and was the first roller coaster to feature a complete 360-degree vertical loop.
Most of the actors playing police officers in the film were real police officers from the surrounding areas. Charles W. Bennett Jr., who played Bomb Squad Man, was a real-life bomb technician at the time the film was made. In 1999, he became the chief of police in Lynchburg, Virginia.
"[speaking to each other over walkie-talkies] Young Man: First, Harry, I think I should tell you about the bomb. Would you like to know where it is? Harry Calder: Sure! Young Man: You're holding it."
"Young Man: If they pay me and if they do what I say, I'll never bother them again. Harry Calder: Are you sure? Maybe you enjoy it. Young Man: Wrong psychological profile, Harry. I'm not in this for kicks. Harry Calder: Oh yeah, right, it's only the money. You're a businessman. And in a corrupt society, you're no worse than anybody else. We all cheat on our taxes, Detroit makes defective cars. Young Man: I'm not enjoying this conversation, Harry. Harry Calder: Then get yourself another messenger boy."
