Cultural references
- The title of the episode is a reference to the Paul Simon song "Graceland", in which he repeatedly sings the line "I'm going to Graceland".
- In Comic Book Guy's vision of Heaven:
- He is cast as Spock from Star Trek and serving on board the Enterprise.
- Captain Kirk's command chair starts shaking, and CBG says "Shazbot! My captain is in peril", referencing Mork & Mindy.
- After CBG saves Kirk, Uhura says that she wants to make out with him, and so do Catwoman (Batman) and Agent 99 (Get Smart).
- In Disco Stu's discothèque vision of Heaven:
- The background music is "Get Dancin'" by Disco Tex and the Sex-O-Lettes.
- Frank Sinatra appears. When Stu asks Sinatra what he's doing there, Sinatra replies that for him, this is Hell.
Trivia
- The refreshment stand menus are written on "stone" tablets like the Ten Commandments.
Continuity
- This episode is a sequel to "Alone Again, Natura-Diddily".
- The last time something Ned owned leaked gas and created hallucinations was in "Skinner's Sense of Snow".
- The amusement park Ned purchases, Storytown Village, was first visited by the Simpsons in "Lisa the Vegetarian."
Goofs
- When the citizens are leaving the park in disappointment, Manjula, who is behind Apu, is yellow, has brown hair, and is wearing blue clothes.
- Apu, despite being a practicing Hindu, goes to Praiseland, a Christianity-based theme-park.
- Of all the outfits Ned preserved in the closet, not one of them was the outfit that Maude wore every day (pink vest/pink blouse/skirt ensemble)
- The hand stamp that says "PRAISELAND" is too big for most of the character's hands.
