Ride Lines (Don't Do It)

Anyone who lives in the Chicago area, knows of Great America. Most in the US have heard of the regional amusement parks run by "Six Flags."

The rest of you, think giant amusement park. Rollor coasters, long lines, overpriced nasty food, all that stuff.

Imagine that you can get a pass, to cut EVERYONE in line, for four people, for a full day...

Sounds pretty sweet huh?

What do you have to do to get a pass like that at Great America? Has to be expensive you figure, since tickets are now somewhere around $50 a person...

Simple. NO MONEY DOWN.

Doesn't cost you a penny.

Sounds too good to be true huh? Your just sitting there thinking, "what do I have to do to get such a great, and all powerful priveledge, to just skip past hundreds of people in line?"

Just gotta eat a live Madagascar Hissing Cockroach. Talk about a nice promotion huh?

The Lake County health department isn't too keen on it, but aren't stopping it because they can't present evidence that says its more dangerous than eating.... oh.... shrimp or prawns. Just be careful if you have food allergies really. People still have to pay the entrance fee, and they have to sign a waiver on the roach munching.

Glad about one thing: I'm terrified of roller coasters and wouldn't even be put in the place to make the decision.
