Six Flags has made the decision to ban an influencer after he sneaked an order of McDonald’s McNuggets into his pants, consuming them while riding a towering 300-foot roller coaster and posting the experience online.
Allen Ferrell has been banned from all the company’s parks after sharing a video of himself munching on seven nuggets during a ride on the Millennium Force coaster at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.
A spokesperson from Six Flags Cedar Point confirmed the ban, stating, “This guest has been permanently banned from all Six Flags parks.”
The spokesperson emphasized that safety is paramount for the park, mentioning their strict policies against bringing any items onto rides that could pose safety hazards, including food.
Ferrell, who is 26, recorded his unconventional stunt, where he stuffed ten Chicken McNuggets into his pants prior to riding the 310-foot coaster, which reaches speeds of 93 miles per hour.
In the video, he humorously challenges his followers, saying, “Try eating a 10-piece nugget while riding a roller coaster.” He jokingly asks what’s the problem, before showcasing his daring act near the park’s entrance.
Before boarding, he even told the ride operators, “I don’t have chicken nuggets in my underwear.” As the coaster climbed, he secretly retrieved a nugget and tried to eat it, though gravity made it quite a challenge.
At one point, he requested sauce from a cameraman, leading to a sticky situation where some splattered on him and nearby riders.
By the ride’s end, he managed to eat seven of the ten nuggets and remarked, “We failed the challenge.” Ferrell expressed his disbelief over the ban, stating he never expected his light-hearted stunt to draw such attention. “Here we are,” he commented, pondering the unexpected consequences.
He mentioned that Cedar Point officials considered pressing charges, but they reached an understanding instead. “I’ve never been banned for one of my challenges before,” he noted, adding that while the park’s goal was to ensure safety, he saw the endeavor as just a fun challenge.
Six Flags reiterated that anyone who breaches their code of conduct would not be permitted in their parks.
The media reached out to Six Flags Cedar Point for further comments.
