Roller coaster rides at Orlando theme parks can be thrilling, scream-inducing and downright frightening at times, but imagine what they’re like when you catch the ride on video, via a GoPro strapped to your Shoe. Thanks to GoPro, the world’s most versatile camera, you don’t have to imagine anymore. Now, you can show friends and family just how amazing that roller coaster was or take awesome pictures of yourself with friends mid-loop, all you have to do is strap the device to your shoe and record.

Here’s how I did it:

First things first, this really only works for roller coasters that have your feet exposed, so you can extend your foot to capture yourself or lay your foot down to take video of the coaster. Now that we’ve got that out of the way there are three things you need to begin your roller coaster GoPro shoe adventure: 1. Shoes with laces 2. The GoPro inside the GoPro Wrist Housing 3. GoPro remote (This is optional, but it will be useful if you want to take photos. We recommend the Burst setting, which takes 30 photos in a second, allowing you to pick out the best reaction.)





Best of Orlando recently tried this during a ride on Kraken at Best of Orlando recently tried this during a ride on Kraken at SeaWorld Orlando and here is a quick step-by-step guide as to how to strap it all together:

Step 1. Grab your shoe and unlace the top two laces. Step 2. Grab your GoPro with wrist housing attached and slide the wrist housing underneath all of the laces. Step 3. Slide the strap on the wrist housing through its buckle and tighten. Step 4. Loop the laces at the bottom of the GoPro Housing. Step 5. Tie the laces and loop through the top of the GoPro Housing. Step 6. Put your foot in the shoe and make sure to tighten all the loops around the GoPro Housing. Tighten evenly because you don’t want the GoPro Housing to shift to the left or right. Step 7. Time to go on a roller coaster! POV of Roller Coaster First plant your feet to take video of the track, then ride it again and elevate your feet to take a video of you and your friends enjoying the ride. You can then mash it all together for one incredible video.
