A popular YouTuber and TikTok star has been handed a lifetime ban from all Six Flags amusement parks after he flouted safety regulations by consuming McDonald's chicken nuggets while riding a roller coaster. Allen Ferrell, who commands a following of 1.8 million on YouTube and nearly 4 million on TikTok, is renowned for his high-energy food stunts and social experiments. In a video posted earlier this month, he concealed a box of 10-piece chicken nuggets in his trousers before boarding the Millennium Force roller coaster at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. The footage shows him eating the nuggets as the ride plummeted from its 310-foot peak, with his companion holding a dipping sauce that was swept away by the coaster's force.
Park Response and Safety Concerns
Tony Clark, a representative for Cedar Point, issued a statement on Thursday addressing the viral clip, which has garnered nearly 700,000 views on YouTube. “Our ride safety policy strictly prohibits all loose articles on rides, including food, which can become a choking hazard,” Clark said. “Safety is a partnership between our guests and the park, and guests must follow all written and verbal instructions for safe riding. Guests who violate our Code of Conduct are not welcome in our parks, and this guest has been banned from all Six Flags parks for life.” He added: “Safety is a cornerstone of our business, and we have zero tolerance for inappropriate and unsafe behavior.”
Park Guidelines and Public Reaction
According to Cedar Point's safety guidelines, loose items must be secured in cargo pockets, waist packs, ride platform bins, or left in lockers. For Millennium Force specifically, items that cannot be stored in waist packs or cargo pockets are not permitted in line. Ferrell addressed the incident on his Instagram Story on Thursday, sharing a screenshot of the Entertainment Weekly article, but has not commented further. The Independent has contacted Ferrell and Six Flags for comment. Social media users criticized the stunt, with one commenter noting the risk of choking, and another recounting a similar incident where barbecue sauce caused discomfort.
Cedar Point, owned by Six Flags, is a 364-acre park on Lake Erie featuring 18 roller coasters, an 18-acre water park, a beach, and multiple hotel resorts.
