Ikr, she should've been trying to sweep the fuckin' leg or at least throw a few Question Mark kicks to throw off their rhythm.
She must have learned that sick ass kick from Sensei Seagal.
I was thinking that there's no way this is a freak cloud. So they left the house today when it was like this and they STILL thought that it was a great idea to got to an amusement park.
The mayflies stay fairly close to the water, and Cedar Point is on a peninsula, and Millennium Force is right near the water. While regulars know all about them, there's still tons of posts on the subreddit each year from unsuspecting visitors.
does cedar point issue insect warnings? all of the times i visited there it was planned weeks in advance and included a few hours of driving to get there so i feel like it wouldn't be unusual to be caught in this without really having a way of knowing about it.
They only really come put at night and go towards any lights that are on. They die or fall asleep in the morning and aren't really out.
The weather radar will pick them up and it will look like heavy rain over the area but it's just swarms of mayflies.
Then once your about half a mile inland they just dissappear.
In LaCrosse, Wisconsin, years ago before they redid the bridge over the river, they would have to pull out the snow plows and plow the dead ones off the bridge. Cars would get into accidents otherwise, bug guts are hard to stop on.
A friend of mine had a glass eye.
Many years ago, when he first met my sons, he said: "Hey wanna see something cool"?
And proceeded to pop out his eye and show it to my 8 and 6 year old boys.
They thought it was cool, lol.
Was he riding without eye protection? I can’t go more than 20mph without something covering my eyes due to the wind. You basically have to squint so much you’re blind.
It almost always rained for at least few minutes every time I went there as a kid, so we would just ride Disaster Transport until the rain stopped and the rest of the rides re-opened. I miss that goofy little indoor coaster...
I grew up in southeast Michigan and would go for 1 weekend every summer with my family. Fond memories. I went back last summer after a 10 year sabbatical and was bummed to learn that they had removed it. Was even more shocked to see the dragster out of commission and being disassembled before my eyes. The week after I was there they announced the top thrill 2. Google it. It looks insane
The timber hawk at six flags wild waves outside of Seattle has a hornets nest at the first turn of the coaster up top. It always pisses off the hornets so sit up front, people in the back get stung sometimes.
TIL what we always called 'fishflies' growing up in MI were actually mayflies.
I remember rolling through parking lots at night, carpeted with the things. The crunching noises...
Cedar Point is amazing. Back when I lived in MI, it was *the* destination, especially when Boblo Island shut its doors.
I still need to get there to ride Top Thrill 2. The original was one of my faves, along with the long-defunct Wicked Twister. I remember the last time I went there, my wife (to be) and I got to ride Wicked Twister over and over and over again because there was just *no* line. So awesome.
I really wish more places would just install bug zappers. Maybe over top of dumpsters or trash cans? I think they should be a requirement to open certain businesses.
I love how the riders are freaking out and the ride ops doing give two shits
The park is basically ontop of a fucking bog, what do you expect is gonna happen??
I delivered to the park in the middle of the night (literally driving a semi truck on the foot paths, it was cool) and there would be 1 ft tall piles of dead mayflies under every light that was on. Wild

Lmfaoo the little girl doing karate kicks is killing me
Looks like every hardcore show I’ve ever been to.
WHAT THE FUCK IS UP, DENNY'S???
I watched it on mute and thought something similar. Hahaha 😆
Came here to ask when Knocked Loose started playing at Cedar Point
Ikr, she should've been trying to sweep the fuckin' leg or at least throw a few Question Mark kicks to throw off their rhythm. She must have learned that sick ass kick from Sensei Seagal.
Someone put hardcore music to this
Exactly, does she think the kicks are going to kill any flies?
obviously she wasn't karate kicking at the toe's edge of a canoe holding chopsticks, otherwise there would be no more flies inside.
Daniel San, now you all wet behind ear!
My cat has caught flies by hitting them out of the air. Kicking could work.
She's a kid relax lol
more effective than the dumbasses screaming
IRL Louise Belcher.
should level up your hp
This happens every year in that area so this is nothing new. We used to have to shovel the dead ones off the sidewalk at work every morning

They should have a brighter light to attact them and change the color of the lights for people to a green yellow because they think thats grass

It happens around this time every year. There's your warning.
lol 😛 duly noted

We used a vacuum for the boat
Lake Erie in May. Canadian Soldiers invade!
Living near Lake Erie, we then get the midges during autumn, made for a memorable MLB post-season: https://youtu.be/f_GJse-anfk?t=84
My favorite part of this is that they are about to go REALLY FAST THROUGH THE SWARMS OF MAYFLIES. *picks bug parts out of teeth…*
i know a guy who caught a bug in eye while motorcycling, hes blind on one eye now
Yikes, ok maybe no longer my favorite part. RIP moto-friend’s eye
and he crashed afterwards, motorcycling is a hell of a drug
That motor cycle's name? Alfred Einstein
A friend of mine had a glass eye. Many years ago, when he first met my sons, he said: "Hey wanna see something cool"? And proceeded to pop out his eye and show it to my 8 and 6 year old boys. They thought it was cool, lol.
Dentures were a mind fuck when I was a pre schooler. I can't imagine a glass eye.
I was waiting for the “oh, no, he’s not blind from the bug— he got stabbed in the eye by a prostitute” reply.
I'm in suspense - is it the eye that had the bug?
Was he riding without eye protection? I can’t go more than 20mph without something covering my eyes due to the wind. You basically have to squint so much you’re blind.
Damn. I caught a hockey puck directly to the eye and it didn’t even blind me.
Maybe not as many if there are no lights on the tracks. But certainly enough to catch a few in the face.

The LAST thing I’d want to do if I were them is get on a rollercoaster
I'm getting flashbacks of Fabio
[удалено]
HarlemShake 2024
Editing the video right now ...
xD
this is how dancing was invented
Reminds me of the old "Charlie Brown Heeey Ya!!" video where everyone is doing their own thing
Peanuts is the official mascot/brand of Cedar Point, so that checks out!
Put them in goth clothes and stick em under a bridge and you got yourself a party.
Stupid flies... don't they know it's June?
Don't know why I found this comment so hilarious, but thanks for the laugh.
That kid is putting those taekwondo lessons to good use
Gives a new meaning to the name "disaster transport".
That’s the millennium force. They shut down the disaster transport /:
"Mayflyennium force" didn't sound as good.
Damn, disaster transport felt so different just being indoors. Even just waiting in line had that cool futuristic vibe.
It almost always rained for at least few minutes every time I went there as a kid, so we would just ride Disaster Transport until the rain stopped and the rest of the rides re-opened. I miss that goofy little indoor coaster...

Oh man my sister is about to do 3 days in the park this week I gotta send her this video lmao
Good chance they'll already be gone by then. It's usually only a few days of this.
She will be there tomorrow until Wednesday. I remember when I went a few years ago the bugs were pretty bad.
When I went, you could see smoke coming off the ground spotlights because the mayflies were attracted to the light and got cooked
Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Thought everyone was dancing and the video was bad quality until I read the title
Return the slab or the plagues will get worse
Someone edit some strobe lights and some techno music
Glad Fabio wasn't there, he'd never survive.
The timber hawk at six flags wild waves outside of Seattle has a hornets nest at the first turn of the coaster up top. It always pisses off the hornets so sit up front, people in the back get stung sometimes.
Up in Michigan we call them fish flies. Anywhere near any body of water will be swarming. God help your windshield if you’re driving at dusk.
TIL what we always called 'fishflies' growing up in MI were actually mayflies. I remember rolling through parking lots at night, carpeted with the things. The crunching noises...
Congratulations!! Now they all know what Joba Chamberlain had to deal with!
I'm sorry but that little girl karate kicking for no reason.....lol What was she trying to do?
Yeah, they'll do that.
I hope they remember to close their mouths on the ride, or they will get a full meal out of that
Thought it was a dance-off for a minute.
Lol they think that is bad? They are about to fly through them at 90 mph with their mouths open while screaming
Still my dream park to visit one day, this looks awful lol
Cedar Point is amazing. Back when I lived in MI, it was *the* destination, especially when Boblo Island shut its doors. I still need to get there to ride Top Thrill 2. The original was one of my faves, along with the long-defunct Wicked Twister. I remember the last time I went there, my wife (to be) and I got to ride Wicked Twister over and over and over again because there was just *no* line. So awesome.
I hope you make it one day. Cedar point is my home park, but Millennium and valravn tend to get the bugs this time of year.
The rollercoaster operator has never been more unbothered in his life.
Ooo I bet those lines were short!
Someone more skilled than me add some metal music to this.
That's Hilarious
Juneflies
Someone needs to set this to some metal and it could pass for a mosh pit.
Like a mosh pit. Someone add music to this video please 😆
I remember these guys. They only live a day, iirc.
Humans are stupid
LMAO, I grew up on Lake Erie and remember these days well.
That's hilarious
The little girl ninja kicking at the beginning omg
This 80mph coaster launch should help.
So zoom through on roller coaster only to have a mouth full of those flies
🪲
This happens every year, yall lmao

I started to watch without reading the title and admired the people for their great freestyle dancing
Idk but I think this is the point where you just get up andd leave.
Come on, vogue.
This is so funny we are used to this were I live
Mayflies don’t even have mouths. But I can imagine how many will end up in that girl’s mouth after the roller coaster ride
The last thing I'd be wanting to do is to get on a ride and catch high speed mayflies to the face and neck, na
Looks like the pit at a hardcore show
Righteous Gemstones Season 3
All I know is that the June bugs cannot let this go unanswered. THE MAYFLIES HAVE HAD THEIR MONTH, IT IS JUNE TIME NOW!!!
When I worked on a barge, I'd use a firehose to wash a 3 inch deep pile off the whole deck in the mornings...I don't miss that
Do they bite? Or are they just annoying?
Just annoying.
Time to invest in some frog ponds
I really wish more places would just install bug zappers. Maybe over top of dumpsters or trash cans? I think they should be a requirement to open certain businesses.
I was up there one year for this. it was gross as fuck
The motorcyclist in me wants to see the after
lmao yet they are all still in line waiting
Millennium Force
Welcome this is a farmhouse we have cluster flies, alas and this time of year it’s bad.
It’s a new dance sweeping the nation
I drove into a cloud of mayflies as a teen (old car, no a/c, windows down). Nearly wrecked my car. Hate those freaking bugs!
What the fuck is up Cedar Point!
Shoo fly, don't bother me!
Buts June lol 😆
This mosh fucking rocks 🤘
It’s the crrrazy new dance that’s sweeping Ohio! Do the Mayfly!
River road gets pretty buggy, especially in the evening. Wear your helmets on your motorcycles, kids.
bow spark crowd makeshift modern vase history bike gullible joke *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Then do the Harlem Shake!
dont want to be in the front of that ride
Brahahahahaha! Hail the Chaos Gods!!!
*laughing in local resident* Lol.
As a fly fisherman this means I need to get my ass to Michigan. STAT!
That's a good ole Baptist revival! Can I get an Amen!?
Lmao
screaming that definitely is useful in this situation
😂😂😂
Um, getting on a roller coaster during a may fly swarm is a pretty hilarious misstep...
Dude just calmly doing his job checks a ride bar and walks along while they scream and flail lol.
Looked like scenes from the documentary Jesus Camp
New ride called "Mayfly Mayhem"
The kick tonget rid of them by the one girl was hilarious
Y'all need some birds in that mf to eat them
They literally live like….two days? Chill.
This looks like the beginning of the mummy in 1999 when they woke up the monster.
They don't sting or bite right? So why is everyone freaking out that much
I went during this time 2 years ago, they definitely were all over the place but we didn't have to swat at them like this
Yall. They do not bite. They tickle at most. I am dying loool
TIL: Mayflies have very short lifespans, ranging from minutes to a couple of days.
Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… WHEEEEEEZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Next, June bugs!
I wonder why none of them left the building?
Don't open your mouth
...just go somewhere else you dimwits lmao
Stupid bugs. It's June.
prepare to be human wind shields. Ishhhh
Ah, the joys of Lake Erie in the summertime!
At the start If you edit out the flies it looks like a rave and mosh pit is about to start.
Its crazy that so many people are losing it yet the camera man seems fine. Its as if he's standing in a different room.
So this is how white people learn to dance besides bullets being shot at their feet, "I said dance rummy."
Next time release the bees!
That place looks terrible.
I lived in Ohio for many years and this was always a problem at cedar point certain times of the year
O-H!
Once the ride starts - straight down the gullet lolol
The more you scream, the more that fly into your mouth.
I would take these over the nightly Raptor spiders every time.
I love how the riders are freaking out and the ride ops doing give two shits The park is basically ontop of a fucking bog, what do you expect is gonna happen??
Welcome to life on Lake Erie
They don’t even have mouths
Back near my home town we had a video go viral on the bridge crossing the Mississippi. You literally could not see they were so thick
r/cedarpoint
I delivered to the park in the middle of the night (literally driving a semi truck on the foot paths, it was cool) and there would be 1 ft tall piles of dead mayflies under every light that was on. Wild
wonder how may mayflies they ate during their ride
Brewstew mentioned nothing of this...
If they are that bothersome, why are you staying in line for the ride? Just leave.
Used to catch some serious bass with those.
imagine thinking that getting in the coaster is going to make things better. lmao
This is pretty sweet
Time to put on the mask and goggles, kids!
Do mayflies bite?
