Head Choppers

[CP_RULES]

Mamba at Worlds of Fun.

 

Pretty much the best thing at the park!

 

You stole mine, nothing beats that!

[Shockwave]

Atlantis Adventure has some really close calls with the theming. That upper height limit is well justified!

[Billy Shears]

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.

 

This.

That last hop is a nice trick

[Canobie Fan]

Shockwave at KD!...Going out of the helix... Headchop+Standup=::O as you cant really "duck down" when on a standup

 

 

 

 

and just for fun

SDC Galaxi Coasters. It took me until this year to finally raise my hands on the second drop on the one at Sylvan Beach (the only Galaxi I have ever been on, which I think I rode a little under 20 times.) BTW, Galaxis, or at least Sylvan Beach's Galaxi is pretty fun. It has surprisingly good airtime on the two drops, the helices are forceful, and if they removed one of the brakes at the end, it would have INSANE airtime over the bunny hop. If they removed all the brakes at the end, the wheel assemblies would probably snap in half and the train would go flying into the covered picnic area about 20 feet away.

Compact coasters in general.

 

Scorpion at BGA - the helix has a few headchoppers, as well as the turnaround.

 

Galaxi/Wild Mouse coasters - the supports and quick drops make nice illusions.

I have quite a few that i feel like either my head, arms or legs could be chopped off on.

 

In no particular order:

 

Vampire (Chessington): After the second drop, as you circulate over the mainstreet, you fly over/past some trees. I've actually been thwacked by some of the smaller branches... I had about 5 leaves in my shoe when I got into the station

 

 

Nemesis (Alton Towers): The loop always makes me feel like im gonna either chop my legs off on the bridge or smash into the lake below. Always a good hit!

 

 

Oblivion (Alton Towers): I think the whole looking down into a hole the size of a 2p piece is pretty freaky... I always feel I'll crash into the ground.

 

 

Corkscrew (Alton Towers): The 'lap of honour' after the double corkscrew, when you go under the lift hill, I always feel like my arms will hit the supports if I put them up.

 

 

Colossus (Thorpe Park): The bunny hill after the loop when you dive under the souvinir shop always gets me!

 

and finally:

 

The Flying Fish (Thorpe Park): I have had to withdraw my arms after we have posed for the on-ride photo for fear of taking out a few supports... This is probably the scariest experience I've ever had on a rollercoaster and it happened at about 18 freakin' miles an hour...

The tunnel after the second drop on the Beast. Flying down that hill looking at the little hole you are going to go through is quite intimidating.

The surprise drop on Wildcat at Hersheypark has a head chopper and its pretty sweet.A little off topic,but Great Bear has some awesome leg choppers on the first drop.

El Toros First Drop

[coreyml]

GASM @ SFOG

if someone has not ridden that ride before, they WILL duck going into the covered brake run

 

i used to yell "watch your head" going into it

I agree....there is no way you will keep your hands up when coming into the station of THE GREAT AMERICAN SCREAM MACHINE at Six Flags over Georgia.....even though you KNOW that it is physically impossible for your hands to hit the roof....your reflexes will not let you keep your hands up....

 

which is a good thing, since you better be bracing yourself when the train stops RIGHT NOW!.

 

I still can't believe that they installed the big swing in front of GASM...ruined one of the prettiest views of a coaster anywhere.

[PKI Jizzman]

The Beast, Millennium Force, Magnum, and Son of Beast

 

 

Although, on the Beast you can litteraly chop your hands off! Or atleast get the skin ripped off.

[Giovanolafan]

Yea I Just Thought about the Beast or Gasm

Intense stuff

[asr]

can you say insane head choppers!

 

That video is crazy. As a headchopper it wasn't all that good, but it actually looks like the camera goes straight through the supports at the bottom of the first drop.

Mamba at WOF, Ninja's lift chain at SFSTL, and the caves on the Demon SFGA.

 

I heard that the Superman Power of Tower at Kentucky Kingdom has some serious footchoppers.

[Scaparri]

^Yeah, Ninja at SFStL gets my vote. The chain guide gets me every time.

[brossa]

Wild Mouse - Blackpool

[coasterdude28]

^^^Too soon bigsteve, too soon. But still pretty funny.

[CdnbMatt]

I have to agree with PKI Man about Millennium Force....in reality you are probably a good 10 feet away...on some of the turns it looks like your arms are inches away from the supports.

[sam06pr]

Titan at SFOT. The first drop. Also, I felt like I was going to hit every support

Sheikra after the Immelmann and the 2nd drop to the tunnel.

Kraken SWO going thru the tunnel.

Dueling Dragons foot choppers.

[Mr Stratosphere]

Desperado, The First Drop Fake cracked wood, The Helix Mountain, And the final drop under the train tracks.

Lisebergbanan has some great, but not world class choppers now they have added Upswinget (or however you spell it) to the hill that the three helix curves are based round - really awesome at night with the lights throughout the park turned of!

 

Blackpool's Wild Mouse has the craziest though, what an awesome ride, small pieces have fallen of the frame whilst I've been on it before, +100 OMG factor to those mad choppers.
