The rules Six Flags staff came up with for the contest intrigued the masses:

• There will be a six-minute bathroom break every hour, but anyone who gets out of the coffin for any other reason will be disqualified.

• Participants are allowed to bring a friend during Fright Fest operating hours, but when the park is closed, the contestants have to brave their coffin alone and will be visited by the “Fright Fest Freaks” employed in the haunted houses.

• The coffins will be closed, but they are cut away above the shoulders so contestants’ heads won’t be covered and they can sit up for 15-minute meals provided by the park.

• Any contestant who makes it 30 hours will get two 2019 Six Flags passes and Fright Fest tickets. Plus, they get to the keep the coffin. If more than one person makes it 30 hours, a drawing will be held to find the sole winner of the $300 prize.
