These 6 Souls Dared to Endure Six Flags Great America’s 30-Hour Coffin Challenge

Six brave souls endured Six Flags Great America’s 30-hour Coffin Challenge this past weekend.

The event, which ran from 1 p.m. Saturday through 7 p.m. Sunday, hosted participants including a 70-year-old grandma (who is a member of a Hardcore Hearse Club), a local funeral director and embalmer, a paranormal investigator, a participant who lives and works at a cemetery, a student aspiring to be a funeral director, and a participant who claims to be part zombie, part vampire.

These participants were only allowed one bathroom break per hour, just 13 minutes of phone time, receive 15-minute meal breaks—all done inside the coffin as participants would be eliminated otherwise.

All individuals who partook in this challenge however, were given the opportunity to bring their own pillows, blankets, and/ or sleeping bags for the sake of comfort.

Prizes included $300, two ‘2019 GOLD Season Passes,’ two ‘Express Haunted House’ wristbands, a chance to be in the 'Uprising Parade' and the chance to keep their own coffin.
