For some people, there’s nothing more thrilling than riding a rollercoaster. But now, you can experience that, while also enjoying the excitement of EATING CICADAS.
There’s an amusement park called Kings Island in southwestern Ohio, and they’ve been dealing with masses of cicadas, which have made their way to the surface for the next few weeks.
The cicadas are EVERYWHERE outside, and the swarms are so dense that people are being warned to keep their mouths SEALED SHUT while riding on the coasters at Kings Island, or you might get a mouthful.
People are posting videos of the cicadas at the park on TikTok, and others are proudly sharing RIDE PHOTOS of people in their group, with their mouths firmly closed, as instructed.
(If you want to nerd out, an expert says these cicadas are “Brood 14”, which was first documented by the pilgrims in 1634. So there’s a little local history involved with these cicadas, that you’re hopefully not swallowing.)
@hopeeisdopee these cicadas really have the patience to be waiting a decade just to terrorize us #kingsisland #cicada #ohio ♬ original sound – hxpe
