the things that people will do just to cut a queue...blimey!
Skip lines at Six Flags, if you eat a cockroach?
Some people will do anything for money. But what would you do for a free pass on a roller coaster ride? If you're willing to eat a giant creepy, crawling cockroach, Six Flags Great America has a deal for you.
The park is getting ready for their annual pre-Halloween Fright Fest. And they have this new attraction they hope will bring more visitors, but the new attraction has also gotten the attention of the local health department.
They are about 3 inches long and look a bit different than the cockroaches we are used to seeing in the United States. But starting October 13, visitors can skip to the front of the line if they eat a live roach.
"What we're asking is that volunteers who want to eat a live Madagascar hissing cockroach will be able to go to the front of the line of their choice," said Jim Taylor, Six Flags Great America.
The park spokesman says this attraction went over so well at one park for Fright Fest last year, this fall, 12 parks will be taking part in the eat your way to the front of the line promotion.
"Our roaches are bred in a sterile environment. These are not considered pests. They are the Madagascar variety, as I mentioned. They are safe to eat," said Taylor.
