A social media stunt aboard one of America's most famous roller coasters has landed an influencer on Six Flags' permanent blacklist. Allen Ferrell, a Michigan-based content creator known for taking on viewer-submitted challenges, has been banned for life from all Six Flags parks after he filmed himself eating McDonald's Chicken McNuggets while riding Cedar Point's Millennium Force in Ohio.
According to USA Today, the incident took place on May 19 aboard Millennium Force, Cedar Point's landmark steel coaster that reaches speeds of 93 mph and climbs 310 feet into the air. Ferrell documented the challenge for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube after a follower dared him to eat 10 chicken nuggets during the ride.
The video shows him boarding the coaster with nuggets concealed on his person, then pulling them out once the train leaves the station and attempting to eat them as it hurtles through the course.
The footage quickly gained traction online, drawing attention not only because of the unusual challenge but also because Millennium Force is one of the most recognizable roller coasters in the country.
Opened in 2000, the ride became the world's first "giga coaster" and helped cement Cedar Point's reputation as a destination for thrill-seekers. The attraction recently celebrated its 25th anniversary with operational upgrades and a refreshed appearance.
Six Flags, which owns Cedar Point, confirmed the lifetime ban on May 29. Tony Clark, the company's regional manager of public relations, said the decision was rooted in safety concerns.
"Safety is a cornerstone of our business, and we have zero tolerance for inappropriate and unsafe behavior," Clark said.
He noted that company policy prohibits loose articles on rides, including food, because they can create hazards for riders and park operations. "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."
The company's rules are explicit. Food, drinks, and other loose items are prohibited on rides, and Six Flags maintains a zero-tolerance policy for guests who ignore those restrictions.
The park's creator guidelines also state that the company will not work with content creators who violate safety rules or interfere with guest experiences.
Ferrell, 26, said this is the first time one of his challenges has resulted in a ban. The influencer has built an audience over the past six years by accepting increasingly unusual dares from followers, often punctuated by his signature phrase, "What is wrong with you?" In the roller coaster video, he managed to eat seven nuggets before the ride ended, falling short of his goal.
Despite the consequences, Ferrell indicated he intends to continue producing challenge-based content.
