Biography
The Vision

Wendy lived in McKinley (Pennsylvania) with her sister Julie. She was lovers with Jason Wise, best friends with Carrie Dreyer and friends with Kevin Fischer, the boyfriend of Carrie. Wendy was the school photographer for the yearbook. She and her friends celebrated at the amusement park for their senior field trip. At the start of the film, Wendy admits on she slowly forms a caring relationship between herself and Kevin.

When they enter the Devil's Fhight roller coaster, having their seats taken by him, the two sit on the sixth and final cart. It is at this moment that Wendy has her premonition that the roller coaster will derail and kill everyone on board. This creates panic in her, causing the monitors to momentarily interrupt the tour. Lewis Romero and Kevin Fischer get into an argument that ends in a fight with Ian McKinley. Everyone is expelled, including Wendy. However, when she realizes that Jason and Carrie have not left the roller coaster, she panics and tries to stop them, to no avail. When she and Kevin are kicked out of Devil's Flight by the manager, she watches in horror as the carts fall and the subsequent death of her boyfriend.

Investigating Photos

Weeks later, Wendy is still devastated by the disaster and decides to get her diploma without attending her graduation, which leaves Kevin frustrated, since he showed solidarity with her pain when researching events similar to what she went through. After picking up Ashley and Ashlyn's phone, Wendy witnesses a strange displacement of air in her room while viewing the carnival photos. She calls them stating that she will not be attending the tanning session, realizing that their photo looks like they are being burned alive.

After Ashley Freund and Ashlyn Halperin 's funeral, Wendy calls Kevin to find her in Jason's grave. Wendy tells Kevin about his theory that he thinks something supernatural is killing the roller coaster survivors, being warned by clues through photos of how they are going to die. Kevin is skeptical at first, taking Wendy to a Driving Thru after she feels sick. When Frankie is partially beheaded by a strange accident, Kevin begins to believe her.

Trying To Stop Death

She is later seen in her room with Kevin, discovering the real photo that led to the death of eccentric Frankie. Assuming Lewis is next, they plan to visit him the next day. Wendy and Kevin try to tell what they found out to Lewis Romero at the gym, but he doesn't believe it and has his head crushed by weights caused by a chain reaction. Wendy visits Erin Ulmer and Ian McKinley at the hardware store where they work. After explaining their theories and hearing the provocations that the pair makes with them, an accident involving the falling of several boards begins. Ian is saved by Kevin, where he gets skipped on the list and Erin ends up being killed by a nail gun to the head to Wendy's horror.

Deaths in the Tricentennial

Wendy is called in for a deposition at the police, where she explains what is going on, but the cops are skeptical. At night, Wendy discovers that the two people hooded in the cart in front of her are her sister Julie Christensen and another friend of hers. She calls Kevin who is working as a security guard in the city's tri-centennial to find Julie and save her, since she is the next to die.

Arriving at the party, Wendy see that she is being followed by a van. Upon arriving, she witnesses Death 's attempt to kill Julie, failing to rescue Kevin. A serious Wendy tries to get information from Julie about who is sitting next to her, because that person is the next one. Perry is revealed to be that person,be impaled on the chest by a flagpole. After Wendy saves Kevin from dying, she realizes that it is next and that Ian may be the cause of it. Ian arrives furious to argue with her, but a series of explosions of fireworks causes a damaged cherry collector to fall on him and kill him.

Death
At the end of the film, Wendy was reunited with Julie and Kevin on a subway train. Suddenly, Wendy had another premonition, this being of the train's derailment, which would kill Julie, Kevin, herself and everyone else on board. Wendy saw that after the crash, she would be the sole survivor. She would be in the middle of the tracks and not able to move because her leg was badly hurt in some way. A moment later, another subway train sped towards her and she screamed in terror as she was hit by the train.

Trivia

 * Ian was never meant to kill Wendy. Wendy mistook the clue in the photograph (she wearing a shirt with 'McKinley' on it) as a sign that Ian would be the cause of her death. Ian died because he was (unknowingly) intervening in Wendy's death just for getting in his way.
 * In an alternate ending, Wendy was run over and splattered by a train and then the credits roll.
 * It should be noted that Wendy, Kevin and Julie all live in the novel.
 * Alexis Bledel autitioned for the role of Wendy.
 * Wendy is one of two visionaries who sees a second major disaster. Other one is Nick O'Bannon from Final Destination 4. She sees the Train 081 crash and Nick sees the Springfield Centre Mall explosion although Nick was able to stop the disaster while Wendy couldn't.
 * She is one of the female characters who haved premonitions. Another girl is Kimberly, the main character of Final Destination 2.
