“No one does Halloween like Six Flags and this year is the biggest and scariest ever. We have added more zombies, more ghouls and more haunted mazes to make this the most talked about Halloween event in the industry,” said Chief Marketing Officer Brett Petit. “And this year, the 30-Hour Coffin Challenge has taken the country by storm…everybody wants in.”

Coffin dwellers may bring a friend along for company during regular operating hours, but once the parks close, no friends allowed…only the freakishly scary cast of Fright Fest zombies. Participants who step outside the coffins for any reason, with the exception of designated bathroom breaks, will be disqualified.

Coffin Dweller Requirements:

• Must be 18 or older and have a valid photo ID;
• Cannot have medical conditions that would make lying in a coffin for 30 hours a risk to health or well-being;
• Must sign a waiver at check-in;
• Must be able to lie completely flat and dead still; and
• Must provide own pillow and sleeping bag or blankets.

Six Flags will provide:

• Deluxe, slightly used coffins;
• All meals in bed…aka, coffin;
• One, six-minute bathroom break every hour;
• Phone charging stations for posting panic-filled moments on social media; and
• Random, terrifying visits by the Fright Fest Freaks.
