Head Choppers - Answered

[Nat3ski]

Noticed an entry in the statistics for my 'coaster that said 'Head Choppers'. What is this anyone?

[RickieFalcon]

"A Headchopper is any point in a roller coaster where the ride's structure, theming or another section of track comes close to the rider's heads, or at least appears to do so. Headchoppers are most common on wooden roller coasters, but many steel coasters, such as Vekoma's SLC and Bolliger & Mabillard's Wing Rider, have this element as well."

I think you misunderstand, the head chopper is a feature designed to LOOK like the rider will lose his/her head, but the rail will, of course, divert them from such a catastrophic fate.

Be that with an inline roll or some such course deviation.

Hope that clears it up for you.
