The McKinley Tricentennial is the three-hundred year celebration of the foundation of McKinley, Pennsylvania. The McKinley Tricentennial took place in Final Destination 3.
Disaster
Suddenly, two pranksters placed two small sticks of dynamite at his hooves, which exploded. The horse, scared of the explosion, jerked sideways and his wooden stake (which was supporting the horse down) came loose. The horse began to run rampant, running into the crowd and knocking down a few pedestrians. Eventually, after Wendy notices a clue from her photo, the rope around the stake wraps around Julie's throat and she is dragged along the ground. While running, the horse hops over a harrow and just before Julie is impaled, Kevin cuts the rope around her neck with a sword and saves her. The cops eventually calm the horse down and tie him up to a flagpole.
Wendy saves Kevin from getting burned by an explosion.
Kevin saves Julie from being impaled by a harrow that a panicking horse was going to drag her under. When Wendy asks Julie who was sitting next to her on the roller coaster. Not much longer, the horse freaks out again and jerks away from the pole, breaking it in half and sending the dislodged object into the air, which impales Perry in the back and kills her. Lastly, as Kevin tries to calm the horse down, he kicks him with his hind legs, sending him toppling next to a barbecue. A shish-kebab is lodged into a propane gas pipe and a fire is started. Before Kevin's face is burned off, Wendy lunges at his body and knocks him out the path of the explosion, saving him as well.
Wendy, Kevin and Julie dodge the fireworks.
After saving Kevin from an exploding barbeque grill, they almost manage to escape, but Ian arrives at the Tricentennial and blames Wendy for Erin's death. Wendy falsely believes that Ian will cause her death, which he also comes to realize. During the standoff, a large container filled with fireworks go off in their direction, but they duck and they hit a nearby cherry picker behind Ian instead. As Ian shouts that Death cannot kill him, the cherry picker suddenly collapses and crushes him in half, as Wendy, Julie, and Kevin watch in horror.
