YouTuber speaks out after getting lifetime ban from theme park for eating chicken nuggets on ride
It's become abundantly clear in recent years that content creators are willing to do anything in the name of a video.
Mr Beast has regularly gone above and beyond in his attempts to give away his billions, while celebrities are even joining in on the act, by revealing their most intimate secrets on podcasts and YouTube channels as a way of driving up views.
Considering some household names are even being seen on X-rated sites such as OnlyFans, the desire to earn money and be famous is something that is driving a huge percentage of young person on planet Earth.
One such creator is thrill-seeking influencer Allen Ferrell, who is regularly challenged by his followers to complete ridiculous and sometimes dangerous tasks.

But he showed in a recent video that he was willing to put his life on the line as he attempted to eat 10 chicken nuggets, all while riding a rollercoaster at a Six Flags amusement park across the pond.
In his video, he read out the challenge from a follower which said 'try to eat a 10-piece nugget while on a rollercoaster', before he followed it up with his usual line: "What is wrong with you?"
He hides the nuggets in his underwear, which is also bizarre, and then pulls them out as the ride sets off, quickly realising that this challenge was going to be a difficult one.
Now, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that eating anything while flying around in the air and going upside down is an easy way to choke, and on a rollercoaster, it's going to be very tricky for anyone to save you.
After ending up with sauce on his shirt during the ride, he's also ended up with pie on his face as unsurprisingly, Six Flags Cedar Point didn't take too kindly to the video, and they've now banned the content creator for life.
“This guest has been banned from all Six Flags parks for life,” a Six Flags Cedar Point spokesperson told WTOL.
“Safety is a cornerstone of our business and we have zero tolerance for inappropriate and unsafe behavior. Our ride safety policy strictly prohibits all loose articles on rides, including food which can become a choking hazard,” the park said.
Ferrell has now spoken out about the punishment, suggesting that the amusement park was ready to press charges before they 'worked it out' between them.
“I had no idea that eating a 10-piece chicken nugget on a rollercoaster would be a national headline, but here we are,” he told FOX 8 Cleveland.
“This would be the first time one of my challenges has gotten me banned indefinitely.
“They just don’t want other people getting hurt on the ride. But me personally, it was a really fun challenge,” he added.
However, the amusement park doubled down on their commitment, suggesting that anyone who breaks the code of conduct is not welcome back.
Don't try this at home, or any other amusement park, kids.
