Trivia[]
- Murray had to leave for some legs of the tour due to having a family emergency and experiencing back problems. He was understudied by both Simon Pryce (under the nickname “Ringo”) and Brad Carroll.
- As a result of this replacement, then-touring manager Graham Kennedy filled in as a guitarist and Kendall Goddard played Fiona The Circus Leader on occasions where Simon filled in for Murray.
- According to footage shown in The Wiggles' Great Adventure!, Paul Paddick substituted for Simon in the role of Ringo the Ringmaster during parts of the Asia tour.
- As a result of this replacement, then-touring manager Graham Kennedy filled in as a guitarist and Kendall Goddard played Fiona The Circus Leader on occasions where Simon filled in for Murray.
- During performances of "The Monkey Dance" whenever Murray was absent, Jeff was seen playing the acoustic guitar.
- Before some shows in the US, the song "Sprout Around The Clock" was played to promote the then-new Wiggly Waffle programming block on the Sprout television channel. The now-defunct site WigglesPlease.com was also advertised.
- To date, this is the last Wiggles tour of North America to feature performances at Toronto's Rogers Centre and New York's Nassau Coliseum.
- This is the first ever Wiggles tour to have Emma Pask as the voice of Dorothy the Dinosaur to sing part of Getting Strong! and Follow The Leader.
