Before the ride starts Wendy has a premonition that the ride will crash. When she panics a fight breaks out and several people leave the ride, including Perry and Julie. Moments later the ride crashes as Wendy predicted, killing the remaining passengers on board. Perry is later seen at school signing yearbooks with Julie and Amber. She also attends the funeral for Ashley and Ashlyn, and later attend McKinley's tricentennial fair.

Death

After Julie is almost killed by a horse, Perry and Amber rush to comfort her. Wendy rushes over as well and demands to know who sat next to her on the roller coaster, because they are next on Death's list. Perry looks at the others in horror, and slowly stands up realizing that she is next.

PerryDeath

A flagpole is launched towards Perry's direction, impaling her.

Suddenly the horse, who has been tied to a flag pole is frightened by the fireworks and runs off again, breaking the flagpole in half and launched it into the air. As Perry stands up, the flagpole impales her through her chest, spraying her blood all over her friends and killing her instantly. After she falls forward, her body slowly slides down the bloody flagpole.

    Perry and Julie's picture with the clues to show how they die.

  • In the picture Wendy took of Julie and Perry on the night of the accident, an American flag can be seen behind Perry in the background.
  • Also in the picture a horse is seen on a merry-go-round in the background. It looks like the horse that caused Perry's death and nearly killed Julie.
  • In the picture as well, the horse has a pole through it, foreshadowing Perry's fate.
  • In the opening credits, there is an image of a sword swallower. They're making the same jerking head move as Perry does during her death.
