Six Flags has permanently banned YouTuber Allen Ferrell from all its parks after he violated safety rules by eating McDonald's chicken nuggets while riding a roller coaster. Ferrell, who has 1.8 million YouTube subscribers and nearly 4 million TikTok followers, is known for his food stunts and social experiments.
In a video shared earlier this month, Ferrell concealed a box of 10 chicken nuggets in his trousers before boarding the Millennium Force roller coaster at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. He filmed himself eating the nuggets as the ride dropped from its 310-foot peak, while his ride partner held a dipping sauce that was sent flying by the coaster's force.
Tony Clark, a spokesperson for Cedar Point, confirmed the ban in a statement to Entertainment Weekly, saying: “Our ride safety policy strictly prohibits all loose articles on rides, including food, which can become a choking hazard. 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.”
Ferrell addressed the incident on his Instagram Story by sharing a screenshot of the article but has not commented further. Many viewers criticised the stunt, with comments highlighting the risk of choking and the mess caused by flying sauce.
Cedar Point's safety guidelines state that loose items must be secured in cargo pockets, waist packs, or stored in lockers. For Millennium Force, items not storable in waist packs or cargo pockets are prohibited in the queue.
