Eat a roach, skip the roller-coaster line

Eat a 3"-long Madagascar hissing cockroach and the coaster park Six Flags Over Texas will give you a pass that lets you skip the lines on their most popular rides:

Chew and swallow one of these crunchy, wiggling critters and Six Flags will also give you a Flash Pass for the evening that will let you bypass the line on many thrill rides...

The cockroaches, which Six Flags will buy from local pet stores, were chosen because they are considered a delicacy in many Asian and African cultures.
