The Kosmic Kruiser Hotel was an immersive hotel in Krustyland.
History[edit]
A poster for The Kosmic Krusier was in The Android's Dungeon.[1]
The Kosmic Kruiser Hotel was announced at Krusty-Kon to an excited crowd. It was said to be the most immersive revolutionary feat of Krusti-gineering ever. Guests could stay at the hotel for two nights role-playing as characters from the Itchy and Scratchy universe. Guests could join one of two factions, C.A.T. (Control and Tyranny) or M.O.U.S.E. (Mice Opposed to Unfair Space Empires). It also featured a button to take the ship to hyperspace that guests could press. The ship also had a robotic cruise director, KIT-10. Social media influencer Courtney created a video for the hotel with Krusty Co. CEO Don Jeffries. When she pressed the button to take the ship to hyperspace, the screens broke and blue-screened.
Despite the publicity for the hotel, it eventually failed as tickets started at $5,000 for two nights, which nobody wanted to pay. Krusty claimed that the closure was temporary while the attraction was "retooled" to make it better than ever. Despite the closure, the staff of the hotel stuck around and kept in character.
Bart came up with a plan to steal KIT-10 and sell the robot as a collectible. He convinced Lisa to use her reward to take the family to Krustyland. He and Lisa snuck into the abandoned hotel only to find the staff were still working. Ragamuffin Tigaro (Sideshow Mel), Puffykins Starclaw (Kirk Van Houten), and Chuck Meowski welcomed them to the hotel and showed them around. After Lisa declared her support for M.O.U.S.E., she was taken to the brig by Puffykins, which turned out to be where broke employees of Krustyland had been squatting because they couldn't afford rent. Meanwhile, Bart went looking for KIT-10. When Lisa found Bart again, Bart accidentally revealed that he wanted them to go to Krustyland just so he could steal the robot, not as a bonding experience for them. Angry at this, Lisa started arguing with Bart. At that moment, an attack simulation started, which Lisa didn't want any part of. Ragamuffin hit the hyperspace button, and the hotel actually began taking off.
With everyone confused as to how the hotel was flying, former Krusty Co. CEO Don Jeffries appeared and revealed that Krusty planned to sink the hotel as a tax write-off and pretend that it never happened, not realizing that people were still working there. As a result, everybody inside would drown. All the actors came together to create a "fantastical thinking machine" while Bart and Lisa went with KIT-10 to try and get the attention of the helicopter pilots carrying the hotel. After KIT-10 accidentally destroyed himself, Bart and Lisa had to climb up the side of the hotel and get the attention of the pilots. While Krusty wanted to keep going with the plan, the pilots decided to turn around and drop the hotel back on land.[2]
Behind the Laughter[edit]
The Kosmic Kruiser Hotel is a parody of the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, a live-action role-playing hotel experience at Walt Disney World, which closed in September 2023, just a year and a half after it first opened.
