* InnocentlyInsensitive: When the kids gain weight after being put on steroids, Marge affectionately calls Lisa her "chunky girl." She was oblivious to how insulting that was to Lisa for half the episode, and even after realizing the mistake she apologizes and tries to console her saying once off the steroids she will return to normal as her "perfect little girl." That was almost equally traumatizing to Lisa, making her feel like something was fundamentally wrong with her. The episode ends with a montage about how people absorb the words others say to them and how it has an impact on their psyche.

* AmusementParkOfDoom: Riot Rivers used to be one, with rides that were dangerously unsafe, until it was reworked as Quiet Waters. Homer finds one of the old slides -- the Devil's Deluge -- abandoned in a corner of the park, and takes Bart and Lisa on one last ride on it. They make it to the bottom relatively unhurt, but then get seriously ill from the ride's untreated water.

* AmusementParkOfDoom: Riot Rivers used to be one, with rides that were dangerously unsafe, until unsafe; attractions include a waterslide that's prone to tossing riders out onto hard rocks, a tiny pool with four diving boards on it was reworked as Quiet Waters. Homer finds one of from which kids would collide in midair when diving, and a lazy river called "The Void", where tubers would enter, but never exit. The only dangerous ride to survive the old slides -- remodelling is the Devil's Deluge -- abandoned in a corner of the park, and Homer takes Bart and Lisa on one last ride on it. They make it to the bottom relatively unhurt, but then get seriously ill from the ride's untreated water.

* NoOSHACompliance: The water park Homer was excited for was infamous for how dangerous it was, with people flipping out of the water slides and on to the rocks. The water park as they arrive had been converted into more of a splash park barely interesting for anyone above the age of six.
