iShowSpeed Stream On Amusement Park

After broadcasting on a roller coaster, well-known YouTuber Darren ‘iShowSpeed’ Watkins Jr. was asked to leave the amusement park. He documented the entire incident on camera.

Over the past few months, iShowSpeed has established himself as one of the most contentious up-and-coming broadcasters. On his primary YouTube channel, Speed presently has over 8.6 million subscribers, but this wasn’t always the case. In fact, he gained notoriety last year after going from 500,000 to 1.5 million subscribers in a little of a week. His accomplishments were overshadowed a few months later when he was permanently banned from Twitch and Valorant for making sexist statements to a female player during a live broadcast.

Speed was just given yet another ban, despite the fact that he has subsequently apologized and is still making waves on YouTube. However, the ban this time comes from a real-world location. Speed recorded video of the incident, in which the YouTuber can be seen riding a rollercoaster at what looks to be King’s Island in Ohio. 

Speed yells at the other people in the car when the vehicle stops in a tunnel, “Shut the f**k up! Everybody on this ride, shut the f**k up! For the love of God!” The reason for his removal from the amusement park, despite the fact that it appeared that he was joined on the ride by friends and fans, was not this outburst.

In his video, Speed can be heard stating while he talks with a park employee; “I don’t get a warning, nothing like that?”

The worker replies; “You gotta go…anyone who records on the ride, it’s an automatic rejection.”

The employee continued by saying that Speed might have dropped the recording equipment he had brought along for the ride, which could have seriously injured other passengers or bystanders below. It appears that Speed won’t be able to ride roller coasters at this specific site, though it’s not clear if his ban from the park was temporary or not.
