Six Flags hosting roach-eating contest

Forget the roach motel, how about a roach soufflé?

Saturday at 6 p.m., those with iron-clad stomachs and non-existent gag reflexes can participate in a live cockroach eating contest at Six Flags Over Georgia.

The winners of the creepy challenge at the Mariner’s Cove Theater will receive free 2012 season passes. The buggy banquet is part of Six Flags’ Fright Fest.
