* HateSink: * The filmmakers were originally going to include a scene of the young man on the phone with his mother, to establish a motive behind his plot, namely to get the money from larger amusements parks that were forcing his parents' small family-owned amusement park out of business. The filmmakers decided that the movie was more suspenseful if the motive behind the young man's actions were never known. It would also keep the audience from sympathizing with the young man's situation.

Some of the derailed cars land upright, making it possible the passengers survive, and I don’t think any of the victims are pre-teens.


* CompleteMonster: The [[MadBomber bomber]], credited as "[[NoNameGiven Young Man]]", derails a rollercoaster with an explosion and kills all of the riders, [[WouldHurtAChild children included]], and later causes a deadly fire at a dark ride. The bomber threatens to keep causing disasters at amusement parks unless he is paid a million dollars. When he receives the money, but it turns out to be marked, he decides to bomb another rollercoaster anyway as an act of [[{{Revenge}} revenge]]. When the first bomb he tries to use is deactivated, he gets another one to continue. When he is caught, he threatens to detonate the bomb unless the FBI let him go.
