Six Flags Permanently Bans Influencer Who Ate McNuggets on Millennium Force

The lifetime ban signals strict enforcement of ride safety after a viral May 19 video showed unsecured food on the 310-foot, 93 mph coaster.

Overview

  • On May 19, YouTuber Allen Ferrell filmed himself hiding a 10-piece McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets box on his person and eating the nuggets while riding Cedar Point’s Millennium Force, and the clip went viral.
  • Six Flags and Cedar Point confirmed a permanent ban from all Six Flags parks and cited a policy that forbids loose articles on rides because they can become choking hazards or strike other guests.
  • Company spokesman Tony Clark said the park has zero tolerance for unsafe behavior and that creators who break safety rules will not be partnered with by the company.
  • Ferrell told reporters the park discussed possible charges but that the matter was resolved without a public filing, and he defended the stunt as a challenge while acknowledging the park’s safety concerns.
  • The episode highlights wider tensions between influencer challenge culture and operator safety rules and could prompt stricter enforcement and fewer brand or park collaborations with creators who break rules.
