I've also used it on all of the water rides at Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.

Unless they've changed their rules since last year?

We bought a go pro hero 5.
Dh spent ages fiddling with it in the parks for it then to stop working right at the start of day 1 . Bit of a faff too but that might be just us

Eh? How are you not enjoying the ride ? You don't need to look through the camera to film with it and slot of people like the memories

I havent got gopro money, so im looking at the sj4000 on the bay of e.
There have been loads of youtube positive feed back about this little camera

We have just bought the Go Pro Hero 5 for next year so glad to see some positive feedback on it. We love filming our holidays so we can sit back and re-live the memories.

We're looking to get one for next summer, we did discovery cove last year & wished we bought one for the snorkelling on the grand reef, would have been amazing to see the footage back. We went to lanzarote this summer and the kids went snorkelling again at the beach and saw some incredible looking fish. Was gutted again we didn't get one, doing DC again next year, and hoping to book dh & the kids into the sea venture so would be some fab footage! Would be great memories to look back on!

We took a go pro with us this year and it was great. The main problem for me is I wish I'd used it more. I would often leave my bags with other family members who weren't going on the rides only to realise that I'd left the go pro in it . I still managed to get some great videos though and with my memory being so bad its good to have videos to look back on lol. Both me and my daughter love watching the footage when we get back home.

The quality of the videos was much better than I expected which is another reason why I wish I'd filmed more. I suppose it gives me another reason to go back lol.

just watch out for sellers of knockoff SJ4000s - theres loads of sellers that dont ship genuine ones, i (personally) dont trust ebay sellers for some things (memory cards and headphones especially - far too many fakes out there). my post with some amazon links may be of use:

or, for a tenner less, the wifi-less sj4000:

i've got three of the original sj4000's and they easily match the equivalent gopro for quality
