Contest Overview:
We will select six individuals to take on this terrifying challenge. Do you have what it takes? The six selected challengers will enter their coffin on 12PM Saturday, October 12 and “hopefully” remain until 6PM on Sunday, October 13. Trust us, you will be SCREAMING for this 30-hour ordeal to come to an end. The 30 Hour Coffin Challenge will take place in our CARNEVIL section of the park. Hoping, you are not afraid of CLOWNS! This year we will be ramping up the scare with a “Dare Wheel”. Contestants will be required to complete a random selection of challenges throughout the 30 hours. Their fate will be selected by spinning a wheel with the below list of options (We threw in a few easy ones too, you’re welcome). For the 2019 contest, there can only be ONE remaining Coffin Challenge champion. If there are still remaining contestants at the end of the contest…one victim will be crowned the champion if they can eat three extremely hot chicken wings the fastest (yes, we will be using hot sauce at a 1million scoville rating)!
