Six Flags has banned a thrill-seeking influencer for sneaking an order of McDonald’s McNuggets down his pants and having the snack while riding a 300-foot roller coaster — and sharing the video online.
Allen Ferrell was backlisted from all of the company’s theme parks after he posted a video where he scarfed down seven nuggets while riding the Millennium Force roller coaster at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.
“This guest has been banned from all Six Flags parks for life,” a Six Flags Cedar Point spokesperson told WTOL.
“Safety is a cornerstone of our business and we have zero tolerance for inappropriate and unsafe behavior. Our ride safety policy strictly prohibits all loose articles on rides, including food which can become a choking hazard,” the park said.
Ferrell, 26, uploaded footage of his stunt where he stuffed a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets down his pants before getting on the 310-foot steel coaster that reaches speeds of 93 mph.
“Try to eat a 10-piece nugget while on a roller coaster.” Ferrell begins his video, reading a challenge from a follower.
“What is wrong with you?” he sarcastically asked before the video cuts to him preparing to hide the snack in his pants while standing in front of the park’s large welcome sign.
Ferrell, who has over 3.9 million followers on TikTok and 1.8 million on YouTube, cheekily tells a park employee that he “does not have chicken nuggets in his underwear,” before strapping into the ride.
Ferrell pulled the box out of its hiding spot as the ride began its initial climb up the first hill, and he popped a nugget into his mouth.
As the ride raced down a hill, Ferrell struggled to chew because of the gravitational force put on his body.
At one point, Ferrell asks his cameraman for sauce and goes on to tip a nugget into the small container, sending the sticky substance splattering onto his face and into the rows of riders behind him.
At the end of the ride, Ferrell revealed he had polished off seven of the 10 nuggets, proclaiming, “we did fail the challenge.”
Ferrell was stunned by the punishment because of how innocent he thought the stunt was.
“I had no idea that eating a 10-piece chicken nugget on a rollercoaster would be a national headline, but here we are,” he told FOX 8 Cleveland.
Ferrell revealed that Cedar Point officials had wanted to press charges against him, but the two parties “kind of worked it out.”
“This would be the first time one of my challenges has gotten me banned indefinitely,” he said.
“They just don’t want other people getting hurt on the ride. But me personally, it was a really fun challenge,” he said.
Cedar Point and its parent company Six Flags were set on keeping Ferrell out indefinitely.
“Guests who violate our Code of Conduct are not welcome in our parks,” the company told the outlet.
