"Cartmanland" is the sixth episode of the fifth season of the animated television series South Park, and the 71st episode of the series overall. "Cartmanland" originally aired in the United States on July 25, 2001 on Comedy Central.

Cartman's grandmother dies and to the family's shock, Cartman inherits her life savings of one million dollars (since she assumed the rest of the family would just spend it all on crack). Going against all advice to invest the money, Cartman instead spends the money on his lifelong dream of owning the local amusement park called North Park Funland. The owner Frank Fun is reluctant to sell, knowing that his park has been a financial failure, but Cartman assures him that he doesn't intend to operate the park as a business, but rather he wants the park so that he could be the only one allowed in it (and to avoid the drudgery of long amusement park lines). Feeling guilt-free, Mr. Fun agrees to sell. The park is renamed Cartmanland and it's making Cartman the happiest he's ever been.

Meanwhile, upon learning of Cartman's good fortune, Kyle begins to question his own faith in God (for allowing someone as horrible as Cartman to be so fortunate), which is worsened by the discovery that he has a hemorrhoid. At Stan's house, Stan and Kyle see a commercial for Cartmanland, where Cartman gloats about how no one can enter his park, especially them. They become very determined to sneak into the park, but Kyle pops his hemorrhoid while trying to climb over the fence, and they are caught by Cartman, who sent them away.

Cartman hires a security guard to ensure that no one else tries to trespass into the park. Having spent all of his money, Cartman tries to pay the guard with free rides, but the guard will not work unless he is given a cash salary and suggests to Cartman that if he lets two people into the park per day, the admission money could be used to pay for his employment. Reluctantly, he starts letting in customers but one of the rides malfunctions and Cartman realizes he must let in more people to hire a maintenance person. Despite letting a few more people into the park, Cartman still forbids Stan to enter after catching him through his disguise and has his security guard escort him away.
