Man Banned From Six Flags for Eating Nuggets on Coaster

The McNugget stunt may have racked up clicks, but it also got one roller coaster rider kicked out of every Six Flags park for life. A YouTube and Instagram video with hundreds of thousands of views shows influencer Allen Ferrell accepting a challenge to down a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets meal while riding Millennium Force at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. Park officials were not amused. In a statement, spokesperson Tony Clark said Cedar Point views eating on a high-speed coaster as a serious safety risk, noting that the park "strictly prohibits all loose articles on rides, including food, which can become a choking hazard," CBS News reports.

Citing a "zero tolerance for inappropriate and unsafe behavior," the park said Ferrell violated its code of conduct and is now permanently banned from all Six Flags properties. Millennium Force, which opened in 2000 and was the first coaster to break the 300-foot mark, reaches 310 feet and speeds up to 93 mph. In a statement to People, Ferrell said, "I understand Cedar Point's stance on safety and I respect it. The video was meant to be a ridiculous comedy bit, not encouragement for people to break rules." He added that he "never expected chicken nuggets on Millennium Force to become national news."
