After eating a lot of fast food, some of it on roller coasters, YouTuber Allen Ferrell has been banned by Six Flags from all of its amusement parks nationwide. For life. <\/p>\n
McDonald\u2019s chicken nuggets were apparently an ultra-processed food item too far for the folks at Six Flags\u2019 Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis guest has been banned from all Six Flags parks for life,\u201d a Cedar Point spokesman explained in an email Thursday to Cleveland TV station WKYC<\/a>. \u201cSafety is a cornerstone of our business and we have zero tolerance for inappropriate and unsafe behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n Zero tolerance for inappropriate behavior? Zero?<\/i> Where\u2019s the fun in that? <\/p>\n \u201cOur ride safety policy strictly prohibits all loose articles on rides, including food which can become a choking hazard,\u201d the spokesperson continued. <\/p>\n \u201cI had no idea that eating a 10-piece chicken nugget on a roller coaster would be a national headline, but here we are,\u201d Ferrell told Fox 8 News<\/a> in Cleveland. <\/p>\n He said he gets the park\u2019s point with the ban, even though he\u2019s been going there since he was a kid and is a huge fan of the operation. <\/p>\n \u201cI understand. And we kind of worked it out,\u201d he told Fox 8 News. \u201cThey just don\u2019t want other people getting hurt on the ride. But me personally, it was a really fun challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n Ferrell\u2019s shtick on social media is accepting challenges from his followers and then taping himself attempting to do what they propose. Eat a McDonald\u2019s Big Mac inside a Burger King. Throw a plunger at a Target sign. Bowl blindfolded until he gets a strike. <\/p>\n \u201cIf anyone asks,\u201d Ferrell tells one apparently bored ride operator in the video that documented this particular coaster crime, \u201cI do not have chicken nuggets in my underwear.\u201d<\/p>\n Ferrell decided to try it on the park\u2019s Millennium Force ride, a \u201clooming giant amongst a park full of them,\u201d a coaster that was \u201cdesigned for the purpose of proving bigger is better.\u201d A roller coaster that when it was created in 2000 \u201cdemanded an all-new category just to classify its one of a kind nature,\u201d giving rise to the \u201cgiga-coaster.\u201d According to Cedar Point, as all of this verbiage is, Millennium Force \u201cshoots riders over hills, past lagoons and through tunnels, all at unthinkable speeds.\u201d<\/p>\n The ride actually tops out at 93 mph, a speed often thought about on freeways in the Los Angeles area when traffic is going 8 mph. It\u2019s quite thinkable to eat fast food in a car in L.A. But it turns out what was really unthinkable was Ferrell getting all 10 nuggets down the hatch before the Six Flags ride was over. <\/p>\n
