video camera car or memory card so you can save new video footage.
VIDEO CAMERA BASICS:

camera car on the roller coaster track (with the wheels on the car as shown).
• To capture 3rd–person video, point the GREEN video camera car at the ORANGE car
and record video as it moves around the roller coaster.
• Turn the coaster car upside-down (as shown),
and gently slide the black wheel assembly
off the GREEN car then reattach them to the
ORANGE car. The GREEN video camera car
can then be attached to any of the 6 camera
mounting points.
CHARGING YOUR VIDEO CAMERA:

car to a computer using the USB cord.
