Cedar Point bans man for eating chicken McNuggets while riding Millennium Force

SANDUSKY, Ohio (WOIO) - A Ride Warrior was caught eating chicken McNuggets on Millennium Force... and Cedar Point was not “Lovin’ It.”

The man was consequently banned from not just America’s Roller Coast, but all Six Flags parks for life.

The video, which has garnered more than 700,000 views, shows Allen Ferrell eating chicken nuggets with sauce while riding Cedar Point’s Millennium Force roller coaster.

“My type of content is my fans give me challenges. I say my signature line, which is, what is wrong with you? And then I complete the challenge,” Ferrell said.

YouTuber learned of ban through social media

All those views got the attention of Cedar Point.

“I didn’t even know I was banned until I got a message in my DMs saying I’ve been banned from all the parks. And then I kind of looked into it and I’m like, wow, my stomach dropped because I love Cedar Point. I’ve been going there since I was a little kid,” Ferrell said.

Cedar Point explained the incident was taken seriously because eating while riding a rollercoaster - especially one with a top speed of 93 MPH and an elevation of 310 feet all within 120 seconds - poses a choking hazard.

Video draws criticism, death threats

Comments on the video are filled with people angry at the stunt and worried about safety of other riders, saying he deserved the ban. He says he has even received death threats.

Ferrell said the video was filmed with video camera glasses, and he sat in the back of the ride so no one would get hit with food.

“I was hanging on really I was hanging on very tight to the nuggets and I was worried that I would choke, but I was willing to put myself in that position just to make the video. It’s what I do for a living,” Ferrell said.

When asked if it was worth getting the ban, Ferrell said, “I guess we’ll see from here. I’m gonna keep doing challenges. I’m not stopping what I’m doing, but I’ll definitely try to be safer in the future. Do I regret it? I’ll say no, I don’t, honestly. This is what I do for content. I do it for my fans.”

Ferrell said if his ban were lifted, he would commit to never eating on a roller coaster again. The park threatened legal action, but Ferrell said he believes that is not moving forward.

19 News has reached out to McDonald’s for a statement.

This is not the only Cedar Point guest who has gotten in trouble in the first weeks of the 2026 season. A Parma woman was charged with animal cruelty after leaving her puppy inside a hot car for over three hours, authorities said.
