CdnbMatt Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Which coaster makes you feel that decapitation will happen at any moment? My personal favorites are Gemini (there is one spot in particular that the whole train gasps) and Wondaerland's Wilde Beast (they have even installed padding for those who raise their hands up too high). There is also one and SFNE that I seem to remember having some pretty brutal head choppers, I can't remember which one though.
asr Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Cyclone at SFNE has a couple pretty cool headchoppers if you ride in the back row. And while not exactly headchoppers, the standard Vekoma SLC model has COMPLETLY INSANE footchoppers.
Goliath513 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Colossus at SFMM for head choppers. Vekoma SLCs for foot choppers.
matteocrepaldi Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Griffon looks pretty insane but I haven't ridden it yet so I can't really tell. The coaster I've rode with the best head choppers was Sierra Tonante!
SharkTums Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Mamba at Worlds of Fun. Pretty much the best thing at the park!
Johnny Upsidedown Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I pick Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Over Georgia. The final brake run as you hop the last hill and you fly into the brake shed, its always a put your hands down and duck moment.
youthink? Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Totally agree Sharktums, that helix is INSANE! I seriously thought I was going to die
coastercrazed49 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Cyclone at SFNE for head choppers and Volcano and Kings Dominion for Foot Choppers.
Groteslurf Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Although I hated the ride because too rough, the coaster with the best headchoppers is Bandit as far as I can remember. I have to agree that for what concerns footchoppers, the SLC's are the best.
Team Thriller Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 The one that comes to mind the most is the tunnel on Goliath (SFMM), I could never raise my hands all the way!
natatomic Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 When I rode Space Mountain (MK) with the lights on, I thought I was going to be decapitated. Even now when I ride it with the lights off, I can't bring myself to keep my arms up for fear that I'm going to hit something (and I hear that some people actually do!)
Loefet Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Easily Atlantis Adventure, it will chop your head if you are longer then 187cm (6ft 2inch").
WildStangAlex Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Twister II at Elitch Gardens, there is a Saw at one point!
coasterdude5 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I remember Raging Bull having a pretty decent head chopper. Another is the drop out of the station of Mystery Mine, it was pretty cool.
RIP Psyclone Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 It's a ride I've never been on, but this appears that you really do have to duck: If you were on the Spain trip, or just have been to Zaragosa, how bad is it?
RctInfinity Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 When I rode Space Mountain (MK) with the lights on, I thought I was going to be decapitated. Even now when I ride it with the lights off, I can't bring myself to keep my arms up for fear that I'm going to hit something (and I hear that some people actually do!) I recently rode it and even with the lights off, I could see that track above me, and it was really close.
IggyACE Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Ninja at SFStL has a good one as you go under the lift hill chain!
WildStangAlex Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I remember Raging Bull having a pretty decent head chopper. Another is the drop out of the station of Mystery Mine, it was pretty cool. Raging Bull Does have the tunnel immediately following the initial drop, and that is pretty decent. I think I will also say, that Mean Streak has a great bunch of head choppers.
speedracer Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Since leg choppers are included, gotta include the ultimate crap your pants "face chopper" shed Stealth used to nearly hit at GA.
jmccalip Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I think this picture pretty much defines a head chopper: http://www.rcdb.com/ig3757.htm?picture=27 I can't wait to ride it in 1 week! That photo is an illusion I found the 3rd drop to have a much better head chopper, but that's just me.
PURE Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 It's a ride I've never been on, but this appears that you really do have to duck: If you were on the Spain trip, or just have been to Zaragosa, how bad is it? Hahaha! When I saw this I couldn't stop laughing because of how uncomfortable it looks. Boinking your head on that concrete tunnel would swell up pretty well! Good ducking Robb! I can't think of any comparable head choppers right now. But keep posting photos, this is a great thread for them. Some of those pictures are sweet.
alpengeist04 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 The tunnels on Tremors @ Silverwood are pretty good.
