They faced smaller challenges during the 30 hours, including eating a batch of buffalo hot wings.

The winning couple are both college students.

They say the prize money will help them with rent and "food other than ramen noodles."

The contest was part of Discovery Kingdom's annual Fright Fest festivities.
