I have yet to ride the Mean Streak, which I need to do this year for several reasons. I am told there are several headchoppers on that ride also.
Tank
Magnum: 187.5... Walkdowns: 1...Walkoffs: 1...$9W:0
Mine Ride on the other hand, I *have* touched the one right after it comes off the water. It was a slight nick, but it hurt.
Right side of the blue train? Try the left side of the red train; there is a partial stairway there that looks to be REAL close on that 5th drop.

Me, personally, I'm 5'7", so I'm pretty sure I'm not going to hit any beams, but I could see where a guy like Tayshaun Prince could on MF and Magnum.

Smoking Marijuana isn't a bad thing or even a good one, like everything else, its what you make of it.

Edit: Here's another good thread if you want to read more about it before it was trimmed: http://pointbuzz.com/cpplace.aspx?mode=thread&TopicID=12537 *** Edited 6/21/2004 8:32:45 PM UTC by johnz***
If you mean the Millennium Force support, that's not true either. It's still well within reach. They trimmed the size of the tube, but you could still hit it. I wouldn't suggest it.

You can't hit it anymore. It was fixed.

6 foot and up people warning: Despite what my friend told me I did hit my hand on the top of every mine ride head chopper with the black bumper things. I learned my lesson the hard way, but I was lucky to get the down before skin ripped off.
