Because it's officially fall, which means almost time for Halloween (!!!), Six Flags is hosting a Fright Fest competition that is borderline morbid, but also just so freaky that it sounds fun. On October 13, Six Flags will host a coffin competition that requires participants to spend 30 hours lying in a "slightly used" coffin. What fun!

The name of the game is six people will lay in their own 2-by-7-foot coffin for 30 hours for the chance to win $300 and their very own coffin. Because Six Flags isn't a monster, they're letting participants take bathroom breaks every six hours and will provide all meals, drinks, and snacks, which basically means you stand to profit from the coffin competition even if you don't technically win. To make things more entertaining, Six Flags will have phone charging stations so you can play "Monster Mash" on repeat until the other competitors give up.

That does NOT sound safe. How many think it is worth it for $300?

Sounds schoopid.

But if I was homeless, or needed free food, or a long rest, why not.
Coffins can be rather comfy.
But how well used are they ? And used for what ?
It's a good free ad campaign for them, generating interest from really nothing.

And if someone actually died, they have a free coffin already.

Just throw in some Ricola.



It will put a stop to a coughin'.

Free seasons passes, parking, and meals would be worth it.

I'm in
I always wanted to have my coffin at the ready in my garage.
Why take a chance that the one you really like is out of stock when you meet your demise

I don't think it's worth it.
But I don't think I'm the demographic they're looking for.
I know I haven't gone to an amusement park since I was a preteen.
I think they might be looking for kids and poor college age kids, rather than middle age people.


Are there lots of healthy options available at a six flags park?
Or are we talking soda, slushees, funnel cakes and corn dogs?
Is requiring an angioplasty after the competition really a "profit?"


I would be worried they were "slightly used" from the previous year when they weren't nice and didn't allow for bathroom breaks.

I'll pass. I don't want to be in a coffin any sooner than I have to.
