In general, capturing images with a camera or, for example, a mobile phone is prohibited on the rides. However, if the customer has their own harness, helmet, or wrist/hand mount for a GoPro-style camera, it is possible to use that camera properly secured during the ride. Camera securely attached to the hand or wrist is allowed on all rides except for Hype. You can use a harness mount on Hype. A camera attached to a GoPro head strap cannot be used on rides that go upside down or have otherwise more intense movements. The ride operator can provide additional information about camera attachments, and the operator will inspect the suitability of the attachments. Cameras held in hand or attached to selfie sticks, for example, are considered loose items and are not allowed on any rides.
