While most riders are focused on keeping their stomachs settled on a rollercoaster, one YouTuber went in with a very different plan: eating mid-ride.
Content creator Allen Ferrell, known for taking on viewer-led challenges, visited Cedar Point in Ohio and attempted to bring a share box of 10 chicken nuggets onto the Millennium Force coaster.
He managed to sneak the box onto the ride, but the stunt ended with serious consequences. Ferrell has since been banned from all Six Flags parks for breaking the park’s safety rules.
The now-viral clip, sparked by a follower’s request, shows Ferrell concealing the food in his pants while joking with a staff member: “If anyone asks, I do not have chicken nuggets in my underwear.”
On the coaster itself, he’s seen eating the nuggets as the train speeds along, with the person next to him even offering a dip. By the end of the video, Ferrell said he’d managed to eat seven out of the ten nuggets during the ride, which hits speeds of 93 miles per hour.
Given the pace and wind, it wasn’t exactly a tidy meal, and sauce ends up across his face.
The video also drew a strong response from the park. Cedar Point told WKYC-TV: “This guest has been banned from all Six Flags parks for life. 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.”
Speaking to FOX 8, the influencer, who has a following of four million across TikTok and YouTube, said he understood the decision.
“They just don’t want other people getting hurt on the ride. But me, personally, it was a really fun challenge,” he said.
He also explained that he tries to follow through on the challenge ideas his audience sends in.
At the time of writing, Ferrell’s Cedar Point TikTok has nearly 200,000 views.
“Bro, you got banned from the best park ever!” one follower wrote, while another asked: “Was it worth the ban?”
