Added DiffLines:

* GlorifiedSpermDonor: A voicemail from Josh to his father implies his dad isn't around very often and doesn't take much of an interest in being there for him. He seems to be trying to make up for it, though he has ulterior motives for being at the park.

[[spoiler: Later averted in the final act of the film, he's the first one who realizes something is wrong with the waterslide and desperately tries to save people, and for his trouble he's thrown down the slide and killed brutally. ]]

The park was sold to Josh's dad, but Priscilla murdered him in cold blood during her rampage. She was nice enough to make sure the money for selling the land went to Josh, but it hardly makes up for murdering his father, several of his schoolmates and traumatizing his girlfriend. ]]

** Averted in the case of Phil. Despite spending every second of his screen time being as obnoxious as possible, sexually harassing women, pushing likely fake drugs, directly getting at least one person killed, and experiencing nothing in the way of a redemptive moment, he manages to escape the picture unscathed.

** Despite being a relentless jerk and (albeit unwittingly) [[spoiler:pushing Tommy to his death]], Phil goes down the non-trapped slide and is seen emerging unharmed.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: It's rather unlikely that the momentum of a person going down a water slide would create enough pressure to chop a person apart, even with multiple people crashing into them from behind. It would certainly cause fatal injury, but the blades likely couldn't get through the bones, at least not without damage.
