According to People magazine and other U.S. media outlets on May 28 (local time), Six Flags, the U.S. amusement park operator, has issued a lifetime ban against influencer Allen Ferrell, prohibiting him from entering all of its amusement parks. Six Flags stated, "Safety is a core principle of our business, and we have a zero-tolerance policy for inappropriate and dangerous behavior."

Previously, on May 19, Ferrell posted a video on his Instagram account showing himself eating a 10-piece set of chicken nuggets near the top of the Millennium Force roller coaster at Cedar Point amusement park in Ohio. This ride is a massive roller coaster, standing about 310 feet (approximately 94 meters) tall and reaching a top speed of 93 miles per hour (about 150 kilometers per hour).

The released video shows Ferrell opening a box and eating food as the roller coaster plunges downward. Notably, Ferrell is seen calmly dipping his nuggets in sauce. In response, the amusement park stated, "Food and personal belongings can cause safety accidents while riding attractions," and added, "Safety is a responsibility shared by both the park and its visitors. Any guest who violates regulations will not be allowed entry to the park."

Ferrell responded by saying, "I understand and respect Cedar Point's safety principles," and explained, "The video was simply meant as silly comedy content and was not intended to encourage others to break the rules." He added, "I never expected the roller coaster chicken nuggets video to become national news."

Meanwhile, some recent visitors to Cedar Point have complained that the safety belts on the rides have become shorter than before. As the controversy grew, the park announced on X (formerly Twitter), "We have confirmed that the ride manufacturer supplied safety belts shorter than the required specifications. We plan to replace them in the coming weeks."
