"Cartmanland" is episode 506 of the Comedy Central series South Park. It originally aired July 25, 2001.

Plot Synopsis

Upon the death of his grandmother, Cartman inherits $1,000,000 (bequeathed to him since he is the one member of his family who wouldn't waste it all on crack). Delighted with this money, Cartman buys an amusement park, but allows nobody else in it, because he hates lines and noise. Around the same time, Kyle comes down with hemorroids, and his suffering combined with the peridious Cartman's fortune causes him to lose faith in God.

Cartman initially enjoys his park, but as people try to sneak in, he is forced to hire a security guard, and, for money to pay him off with (he spent all his inheritance on the park itself), he agrees to let in two paying customers a day. More expenses begin to pile up, though, with broken rides, etc., and Cartman winds up having to let in hundreds of people per day. The park is successful, but Cartman becomes furious. He sells the park back to its original owner, but his money is then taken to pay off the IRS and Mr. and Mrs. McCormick, as Kenny died on one of the rides; he also owes an additional $13,000 which he cannot pay. Meanwhile, Kyle sinks into a state of dying, having lost the will to fight against his hemorroids.

Stan gets the idea to bring Kyle down the park, where they observe that Cartman is miserable, more so than if he had never gotten the park in the first place; observing this justice, Kyle regains his faith and desire to live, and his illness is put into remission. He awakens and, seeing Cartman's misery, realizes there is a God after all.
