Summary
"This truly was the best vacation ever. Now let us never speak of it again." - Marge Simpson
When The Simpsons head to a new, Krusty-sponsored amusement park, they find just about everything can possib-lie go wrong, from the lack of novelty "Bart" license plates to highly intelligent robots that turn evil via flash photography. But, like so many before them, the family soon learns that battling terrifying automatons can bring any dysfunctional group closer together.
