With almost 2.8 million adult viewers watching, the Emmy� and Peabody� Award-winning series drew more viewers P18-49 than any episode since its historic second season during which Cartman discovered the identity of his father.

The kids have just arrived in Imaginationland, a wondrous, magical place, when terrorist's attack, unleashing all of mankind's evil imaginary forces upon the world. With imaginations running wild, the government steps in and prepares to nuke Imaginationland thus eliminating further attacks on the country's most vulnerable spot. A crisis faces the nation and Stan and Butters remained trapped in Imaginationland.
