* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Marge protests against going to the theme park because she already booked a vacation, and it would be a waste of money not to take said vacation. Lisa and Bart retort that a family vacation means the whole family needs to enjoy it, and Itchy & Scratchy Land has an adult section.

* NoOSHACompliance: Most of the attractions at the park would more that likely cause a lawsuit at best, or a death at worse. The log ride, for example, has crossbows and cannons fire at each other before the rider reaches them, along with shards of glass that, had it not been for Bart and Lisa being shorter than their parents, might've stabbed someone to death. It ends with a buzz saw that slices the log in half, and had the Simpsons not seen it in time then it would've killed them.

* {{Parody}}: Itchy & Scratchy Land is an extensive parody of the Ride/DisneyThemeParks, particularly Walt Disney World (Orlando, Florida). Also, Euro Itchy & Scratchy Land was such a failure the employee working at the ticket booth feared for his wage. Disneyland Paris, formerly known as Euro Disneyland, was not a success when it first opened.
