Final Destination 3 (2006) KILL COUNT is the one hundred and sixty-sixth video of The Kill Count.
Overview[]
High-school student Wendy Christensen visits an amusement park for a McKinley High senior-class school trip, along with her boyfriend Jason Wise, her best friend Carrie Dreyer, and Carrie's boyfriend Kevin Fischer. As they board the Devil's Flight rollercoaster, some kids are kicked off the rollercoaster by the ride attendant, and Wendy has a premonition that the hydraulics securing the seat belts and coaster cars will fail during the ride, killing everyone on board. She panics and a fight breaks out, and ten people leave or are forced off the ride including herself, Kevin, best friends Ashley Freund and Ashlyn Halperin, alumnus Frankie Cheeks, athlete Lewis Romero, goth couple - Ian McKinley and Erin Ulmer, and two yet-to-be identified girls. Moments later the rollercoaster derails and kills the remaining passengers, including Jason and Carrie.
Several weeks later, Kevin tells Wendy about the explosion of Flight 180 and the subsequent deaths of the survivors, believing they may be in a similar situation. Wendy believes Kevin is mocking her and leaves, but later, Ashley and Ashlyn are burned to death after being trapped in malfunctioning tanning beds. Now convinced that Death is stalking them, Wendy and Kevin decide to save the remaining survivors, using omens hidden in photographs Wendy took on the night of the roller-coaster crash.
Frankie dies when a runaway truck hits Kevin’s car behind him in a drive-thru restaurant, causing the motor to fly out of the vehicle and slice the back of his head. The next day, they try to save Lewis at the gym, but he arrogantly dismisses them shortly before two weights crush his head. They find Ian and Erin working at a hardware store, and Wendy saves Ian from being impaled by falling wooden stakes, but Erin falls on a nail gun and is shot repeatedly through the head. After 2 police officers, Clark and Polanski, interrogate them, Wendy and Kevin leave the police station and decide to ensure their own safety after assuming that the next survivors on Death's list have died; a grief-stricken Ian stalks Wendy as she departs.
Wendy learns that her sister Julie and Perry also escaped the roller-coaster crash, and she and Kevin rush to the 300th Anniversary McKinley Tri-Centennial Fair to save them. Kevin saves Julie from being impaled on a harrow, but an airborne flagpole impales Julie's friend Perry Malinowski who isn't a big talker moments later. Wendy saves Kevin from an exploding propane canister, and Ian, who has become unhinged and blames Wendy for Erin's death, confronts the trio. The unstable firework cannons fire at Wendy, but she ducks and they explode on a cherry picker that falls and crushes Ian in half, leading Wendy to believe she has cheated Death.
Five months later, Wendy experiences more omens while riding on a subway train with her roommate Laura and her friend Sean. As Wendy is about to disembark, she sees Julie entering the train and decides to stay. She later notices Kevin sitting at the back. As the two of them are talking, Wendy receives another premonition of the train derailing and killing everyone on board, and she, Kevin, and Julie try to stop the train in vain. The screen then cuts to black followed by the sound of screeching metal.

Trivia[]
- This is the only Final Destination Kill count with a proper gender break down.
- According to James, he was a high school senior at the time Final Destination 3 premiered.
- He pointed out that he got his shoulder scar from a surgery to remove a tumor that might have been melanoma, from tanning for a couple of months.
- Also, he points out that tanning salons are places that most characters—and real people—would but should not probably go to, preferably with the hazards of tanning beds.
- Also, he pointed out that if both girls had not messed with the heating or brought their drinks, they wouldn't have died. Tanning salons have rules like this for reasons like this.
- This is Mary Elizabeth Winstead's first time acting, and first film role, right before Black Christmas.
- This is the first Kill Count with a 14:15 gender ratio.
- After the rollercoaster crash foreshadowed by Wendy's premonition, the toy rollercoaster set in the background of the Kill Count set has fallen apart; the tracks are disassembled, and the cart is flipped upside down.
- This is the first time that the disaster of the series got the dull machete.
- This same kill count can be seen way back in Alien3.
