Not directly, but like you say, there is a reasonably sinister undercurrent to some of the backstory, particularly late in the (first) series. (And also in the official manga, which is set while the Park was still operational.) Much like the stuff lurking just out of view in the World Witches setting, it's at odds with the overt tone of the franchise, but there's enough of it that I'm reasonably sure I didn't imagine it.
