Camera Advice & Extra Evening?

[Claire-Bear]

Hi all

We're planning to take our camera and camcorder with us to UO. Especially after hearing the new info on WWOHP we really want to take our camcorder/camera through the queue areas on some rides and then put them away for the rides themselves.
Has anyone does this on rides requiring lockers? Any advice on how to stash them for the rides? Do they allow you to have a small camcorder bag on a strap on you on lockered rides?

Separately, do you think it's worth popping over to IOA on a Sunday evening for a few hours (we're staying offsite)? Just to get in some extra time (if we can fit it in our schedule!).

On the attractions that require lockers, you can not carry anything on. However, a small waist bag should be fine as long as it doesn't affect the closing of the restraints. I'm sure The Forbidden Journey will be the same.

If you walk through the queue and attempt to board the ride with any bags or anything hand held, you will be directed to return to the lockers and place the carry on there. If you don't plan on riding something but still want to film the queue, that would be OK just don't expect to ride with the camera.

Any extra time at IOA would be worth it.

So if we buy one of those waist bags and put the camera in there we should be ok to ride? It's only a little camcorder so it would fit in one of those; I'll have to keep an eye out. Would be nice to film the queue but also ride
