The unlucky few have been chosen to compete in the Six Flags 30-Hour Coffin Challenge.

Jackson thrill park Six Flags Great Adventure has revealed the six participants, and one alternate, chosen from nearly 6,000 applicants to take part in the Six Flags 30-Hour Coffin Challenge from Sunday, Oct. 13, to Monday, Oct. 14.

As the name implies, the challenge will find the participants stuck inside a fully-covered wooden coffin for 30 hours, with only brief breaks to use the restroom and check their phones every three hours.

While inside they will have to endure visits from snakes, spiders, skunks and costumed ghouls from the park's Fright Fest event. Meals will be eaten inside the coffin and there will be a challenge-based point system to determine the ultimate survivor.

The grand prize is two Six Flags Gold Passes, two Fright Fest haunted maze passes and $600. Runners up earn rewards including Fright Fest day passes or Six Flags Great Adventure season passes.

The six hopeful survivors, chosen based on the creativity of their application essays, are:

Amanda Roberts, 31, of Hopatcong, a makeup artist and musician

Michael Markawicz, 32, of Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, a paramedic

Deborah “Cricket” Alanis, 53, of Bayshore, New York, a former funeral director

Kerri Platt, 47. of Forked River, a mother who nearly died in childbirth and last year donated a kidney to her mother

LynnAnn Joyce, 44, and Alairra Craven, 18, of Seaside Heights, a mother/daughter duo. Craven just completed basic training for the U.S. Army

If a contestant cannot take his or her place in the coffin, the alternate participant is Ashley Allen, 26, of Willingboro, a mortician-in-training

The Six Flags 30-Hour Coffin Challenge runs 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 13, through 8:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 14, at Six Flags Great Adventure, 1 Six Flags Blvd., Jackson.
