30 hours in a casket for $300…worth it?

Six Flags St. Louis is seeking people who find lying in coffins within their comfort level…if you can handle it for 30 hours, you might win $300.

Six contestants will be chosen to spend 30 hours in “deluxe,” “slightly used” coffins measuring 2 feet wide by 7 feet long.  Can you do it??  Six Flags St. Louis will have this contest between 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13, until 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 14, at the park.

If you are chosen as a contestant, will be allowed to bring a friend but only during Fright Fest operating hours. After hours — from midnight Saturday until noon Sunday — YOU will be on your own, but some Fright Fest Freaks will be lurking about in the darkness.

There will be six-minute bathroom breaks every hour, but a contestant will be eliminated from the competition if he or she gets out of the coffin.

Park officials did not specify whether this is an open or closed casket competition.

and see if you are up to the challenge!
