 *The concept of a theme park's attractions turning on its guests parodies two of Crichton's works, with several direct references to each as well:
-**Several scenes, such as the helicopter ride as well as the logo visible on the side of the helicopter are based on the Crichton book and ensuing film ''[[Jurassic Park]]''. Frink explaining that "elemental {{w|chaos theory}}" will lead to the robots turning evil is what Ian Malcolm says in the film about the dinosaurs.

Frink explaining that "elemental {{W|chaos theory}}" will lead to the robots turning evil is what Ian Malcolm says in the film about the dinosaurs.
-**Much of the episode is based on another Crichton story, ''{{w|Westworld}}'', which is about a theme park in the near future which caters to the rich that has realistic androids in Westworld, Medievalworld, and Romanworld. Guests pay a lot of money in order to enact any fantasy they wish, which includes killing the male androids or having sex with the female androids. The androids start to malfunction and begin attacking guests and employees.<ref name="Mirkin"/><ref name=bbc/> The Delos park in ''Westworld'' is also, like Itchy and Scratchy Land, referred to as a "theme park of the future." Similarly, when the helicopter pilot says "Where nothing can possiblay {sic} go wrong", this is reference to the tagline of ''Westworld'' seen on the movie posters, "Where nothing can possibly go wrong." Furthermore, the concept of the Itchy and Scratchy robots having special sensors to ensure they can't harm humans mirrors the heat sensor guns in ''Westworld'', as does Homer taunting a robot, failing to realise that it is no longer harmless. The music as the robot group marches towards the Simpsons is based on music from ''Westworld''.
