Stop deleting the plot hole in this episode. Yes, this was a great episode, and the plot hole was barely noticeable, which is why it deserves attention. If you delete it, please give an explanation why it's wrong it or why it shouldn't be put up.

To whomever keeps deleting stuff without giving a reason: I've contacted wikipedia to stop you vandalizing the page. I don't know if you'll get banned for doing this, but I thought you'd like to know.Jbm867 17:03, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I've removed it both because it's original research as presented and is not a plot hole. The owner says he can't keep up enough attendance to make a profit while Cartman complains about the lines being long... Evidently, an inadequate number of people visited the park to turn a profit, but enough to make Cartman complain about lines. United Airlines went bankrupt even with scads of customers -- just not enough to cover costs. Tuf-Kat 01:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I didn't know about the original research policy, so I guess that would suffice as a reason for removal. Still, it is a plot hole. First, Cartman didn't complain about "just enough" people to bother him. In his diatribe, he goes on about how the lines were so long that they had to invent speed pass, among other things. Second, even though an argument can be made about overhead costs being the reason for financial ruin, it wouldn't apply here because the original owner bought back the park anyway in order to make a profit.

[edit] Disneyland

Is Cartmanland really a parody of Disneyland? If it was, I would have thought it would mock typical Disney things, like how (allegedly) Disney employees are treated, how everything is happy and expensive, how they want your money, etc. I think Cartmanland is an archeatype (spelt that wrong) of theme parks in general. Maybe I missed something here.Jbm867 04:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Book of Job

I took out the comment about it being curious that Kyle's parents read out of the book of Job, as it's a Christian book. I looked it up online and found that the book of Job is in the Old Testament, which I think is a part of the bible that Jewish people believe in. I did more research and found this [1] where it talks about the book of Job. Jbm867 04:02, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, that doesn't change the fact that he is being read to out of a bible. — Mütze 09:54, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Owner of the Theme park

At the end of the episode, the owner says, "i dont care, says pierre" in reference to the book Pierre: A Cautionary Tale in 5 Chapters and a Prologue by Maurice Sendak. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.139.145.136 (talk) 03:46, 10 December 2006 (UTC).
