Fort Wayne woman among 6 winners of 30-hour Coffin Challenge
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (WANE) — A Fort Wayne “vampire enthusiast” completed the 30-hour Coffin Challenge at Six Flags St. Louis during the weekend.
Stevi Rogers was one of six people to rise from the dead, so to speak, after laying in a coffin for 30 hours at the Palace Theatre Courtyard in Six Flags. The group climbed into their wooden coffins at 1 p.m. Saturday and emerged at 7 p.m. Sunday.
More than 45,000 applied to compete in the challenge, with just six advancing, Rogers among them. She was the only Indiana contestant.
The Fort Wayne woman, who described herself as a “vampire enthusiast intrigued by the legends and lifestyle, especially their use of coffins to aid in their eternal rest,” won a pair of 2019 Gold Season passes, two VIP Haunted House passes, two seats on the Fright Fest Freak Train and $300 for her troubles.
She also got to keep the coffin she laid in.
