What ride experience do you think offers the best headchoppers around? Based on what I've been on, I think that Knoebel's Twister has a great headchopper after going down the 2nd drop before you come across the unique double helix. I can never have my hands straight up at the time because I feel like the wood will come in contact with my hands.

Off topic. I'm so excited about tomorrow because I'm finally going back to Knoebels after going about four years without visiting. I can't wait to ride Twister, Pheonix, & take photos of the Flying Turns & I'll show them to you guys too.

I like Thunderhead's headchoppers. There are quite a few of them since it goes under itself so many times. I feel the same way with keeping my hands up during the ride.

I also have an "arm chopper" on the Beast. You can't have your hands out when you go through the helix cause you'll probably never see it again and you'll be in a world of pain.

That arm chopper helix is serious stuff, nye - it seriously messes with your psyche...

The chain lift on Ninja at SFSTL is a huge surprises, and considering a member of our tour group actually hit the frame of Balder with their hands I will go with that also.

On a side not I touched several "headchoppers" on the kiddie's in the UK, but moving at 5MPH is not that scary.

i recall wild mouse at hershey park having some fun choppers, but I haven't been there since I was a lot younger. Perhaps they're not as thrilling as I remember...

Wild chipmunk at lakeside. There is a big old tree in the center of it. Tons of branches, tons of headchoppers.
