Will you be eating any cockroaches and if so How many and for what ride ?

I myself will try a few depending on the line
I'm hearing they will be up to 3 inches long.

PETA is now giving Six flags some grief but Six Flags so far has not given in nor do I think they should.

I can see it know Next week pictures of people eating the roaches all over this and other sites

This is one interesting poll LMAO

I agree though, six flags should not give in. Several forms of roaches are considered to be a delacacy in other parts of the world.

If I got to FF this year ill eat as many as it takes! I absolutely hate waiting in lines which is kind of weird coming from a enthusiast lol Even more ironically is that I'm a really picky eater but I don't think ill have a problem with this as long as I'm aloud to swallow and not chew.

You DO realize these are two to three inch long Madagascar hissing cockroaches, right? These are NOT the small German cockroaches typically found in some houses and commercial kitchens!

Here's a picture:

I figure a lot of guests are in for a shock when they see what is to be et to get in the front of the line.

No chewing? You don't chew that thing, you may choke to death. And they are ALIVE!

I was actually looking at a picture today and started having some doubts about it lol I still don't think id have that much of a problem. Just chew it down quickly and plug your nose and ignore that crunching sound and try not to choke and I should be good lmao.

Did anyone eat one or see anyone else eat ?

chilled182 · « **Reply #19 on:** October 02, 2006, 11:36:31 AM »

We couldnt find the table at all. Where was it?

GADVwow · « **Reply #20 on:** October 02, 2006, 08:12:22 PM »

Someone FINALLY said what I have been wondering about all along!

http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/1006/365766.html

LARGO, Md. (AP) - Most Six Flags theme parks are offering visitors the chance to skip to the front of the line for rides this month if they'll eat a three-inch-long Madagascar hissing cockroach, but the gimmick isn't being offered in Largo.

The theme park in Six Flags chairman Daniel Snyder's backyard won't be serving up the cockroaches because of concerns it would detract from its goals for family-focused attendance.

The Washington Redskins (website - news) owner took control of the amusement park chain last fall and vowed to attract more families and fewer packs of teenagers to the parks. But the company reported in August that attendance was down 14 percent.

A spokeswoman for Six Flags America in Largo says they're working to attract families from greater distances, including northern Virginia and the Baltimore suburbs. She says they don't expect many moms and dads would love seeing their kids eat cockroaches.

AMEN! How does this fit what Shapiro and Snyder CLAIM they want for Six Flags? A family image? Why just NOT in Largo? Why is it okay in Jackson, New Jersey or Chicago or Louisville but not in Largo?

I will not be eating any cockroaches, though I wouldn't mind watching someone eat one or two.

And for the person who was asking where it is taking place, I have heard (Not sure if it is 100% true though) that it is in the second switchback of the El Toro line.

WadeJ · « **Reply #22 on:** October 05, 2006, 11:03:03 AM »

First post - Welcome to Updates KK 10-7!

Last weekend it was in fact in the Toro line but I'm not certain if this is a permanent home for it or not. They may be moving it each weekend.

I would so love to get pictures or video of somebody doing this though lol

PcMan · « **Reply #23 on:** October 05, 2006, 11:10:43 AM »

Ok if I don't see a Video or Pics of some roach eating by the end of this weekend I will have to take matters into my own hands or should I say mouth.
I'm going this weekend maybe Friday Night and If I see the Table my wife will have my camera to record it which I will then post.
I'm very surprised no one has come through on this event.
Do we have to have a contest or bet to get it going ?

WadeJ · « **Reply #24 on:** October 05, 2006, 11:36:29 AM »

Hmmm, good idea lol

I can't make it this weekend though so good luck.
