Craig and Eric come over to watch him while Drake, Josh and Megan go off to ride the Demonator.

Goofs
- When Milfred Mouse attacked Josh, there were three boys with the Demonator shirt and an adult that is staff on the amusment park in the background. Don't you think the line or the staff that saw the whole thing would have told the police about Milfred Mouse attacking Josh?
- When Drake, Josh and Megan get sent to the back of the queue for the ride, a big scary man pushes in front of them. Moments later he has suddenly moved up in the line. Meanwhile, Drake and Josh are in the same spot that they were originally in.
- At the beginning when Drake and Josh flip over the couch, wires are visible.
- Drake said that it would take 13 minutes to find the car and 22 minutes to get home. But after Drake and Josh rode the Demonator Josh said that they only had 20 minutes until their parents got home. So they should have been caught. They got there at 10:57, three minutes before eleven.
- When Papa Nichols throws Eric out the window, it's real surprising how he was completely unharmed. He wasn't cut by the glass, or had any broken bones. Although he could've landed on something.
