Carlos sneezes in the Rides Again version (probably due to them sneezing in their titular episodes).

During the line 'Navigate a nostril', Ralphie sneezes in the original version.

In the Rides Again sequences, they say 'Uh!'.

In the MSB opening sequence, the kids are saying 'Yeah!'.

In the Rides Again version, Dorothy Ann instead says the line, probably due to her absence in the original 'no way!' (she was in fact not seen until 16 seconds later in the MSB sequence).

In the original version, the biggest difference is that Wanda says 'with the Friz?'.

On the PAL version of the song in the original series, due to some kind of error in the PAL speeding-up process, the music is slightly louder than the voices, and there is a slight delay on both tracks.

An instrumental version of the theme (without guitar) plays in the TLC airings and some dubs during the original end credits.

The music that it is sung in stays the same throughout each dub.

In most dubs of Rides Again that are not English, the ' Octopus in the neighborhood' line is sung rather than spoken.

For the 9 Story opening sequence, the Bus' parachute and raft are orange in the sequence, and yellow in 'Monster Power'.

A alternate rock cover plays in the ending credits for the main 26 episodes of the Rides Again series (9 Story era), and the menus for the 2020-22 Region 1 DVDs.

A rock cover plays in the 2002-05 Region 1 DVD menus, the ending credits for 'A Magic School Bus Halloween' and the Family version of the Holiday Special.

Shots of the theme in the Brown Bag art style are used as the end credits of the Joanna Cole specials.

It used a different theme song in the original series, and translated the English theme in Rides Again. In the Italian dub of Rides Again, Ride on the Magic School Bus is translated instead.

In the Italian dub of the original series, Allacciate le cinture! Viaggiando s'impara!, a different theme song is used.

In the Rides Again version, most of the scenes are ripped directly from ' Monster Power', ' The Magnetic Mambo', ' Carlos Gets the Sneezes', and ' The Tales Glaciers Tell'.

Most of the original series' closed captions (on VHS and digital) render the word 'Friz' as 'Frizz' (the double-Z spelling wouldn't become official until the episode, The Frizz Connection).
