...In past years, the weird folks at Six Flags have given us the opportunity to do gross things during Fright Fest such as eat live hissing kockroaches--all in the name of good fun (and fright), of course. This year, Six Flags Over Georgia will celebrate the spooky and the freaky by inviting guests to be buried alive. Yes, you read that correctly: BURIED ALIVE.

For an additional fee (and really, who wouldn't want to cough up some extra cash to be buried alive), Fright Fest visitors can participate in something called "The Last Ride." According to the park, gravediggers will toss participants into a hearse, drive them to the cemetery, throw them in a coffin, and shovel dirt on top of them. Oh, did I mention that there will be bugs inside the coffin? Talk about a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Other Six Flags parks will offer different, and decidedly less outrageous, Fright Fest haunted mazes, shows, attractions, and events....

I am, well, shocked. Just shocked.

I am, well, shocked. Just shocked.

Who would do that!!!!!

That is a little...ummm...extreme if I get a say. I think it would be a neat experience. I would even consider doing it if it were at KI and there weren't bugs in the coffins. I'm a little worried about what will happen if someone has a panic attack. Will they have them hooked up to a heart monitor, live video feed, anything in order to see the occupant in the coffin at all times?

I have some friends who are dieing to try it out....

This line made the entire read worth it:

"For an additional fee (and really, who wouldn't want to cough up some extra cash to be buried alive)"

Would I do it? Yes, this is a unique opportunity!

Would I do it again? Heavens no!

I can only imagine what Six Flags is asking for this unique experience. I doubt it is just a few nickels.

Ugh, I wouldn't do this if they were paying me !

Only if I can get buried in a Kiss Coffin

Yiiiikes! No Way,Man! You can count me out!... Hold on, Man. I don't go anywhere with the words 'scary', 'spooky', 'haunted' 'forbidden' or 'creepy'.. or even 'Haunt' in the name or hydroclonic, but that's for a whole different reason, man!...and I don't do things that being with ''fright'' either!

I would do this. And get it on tape to send it to Criss Angel. Just to show him its not "magic."

Can't you die in a coffin - no air?

No one's gonna do it. It's really stupid.

The Mythbusters had a hard time dealing with this, sans bugs. If Jaime had a hard time, most others will too. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen, stupid, stupid, stupid.

^^And you know this how? There will be some people who do it. Also, there is enough air in a coffin to support life for a little while, just not forever.

They cant just be burying the coffin, maybe its a special coffin that lets you breathe?

Maybe it is a larger than normal coffin that also has air circulation (like you said) or an oxygen tank in case you panic.

It'd be interesting at first, but after a few minutes don't you think it'd get boring?

Not as boring as it would be if you didn't know that they were going to let you out. I mean, you could spend eternity in a coffin.

I'll do it if they video tape it.

This is just a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I wonder if you'll have to sign a waiver form? I'm not sure I would do this.

And I am not at all sure a waiver would be worth the paper it is written on, except to the extent that the person who signed it thought it was . . .
