Does California Screamin eat digital cameras?

I recently read somewhere that California Screamin will do bad things to digital cameras. Has anyone had a problem with their camera after riding this ride? Of course my camera will be tucked safely inside of it's case for most rides.

I have bought my camera on most rides, and had no problem, if its in a case I dont see a problem, I keep mine in my bag and never had any type of problem like that.

No, I haven't experienced that. I have been on that ride countless times with my camera and (knock on wood) am taking it again on Tuesday... so far, no problems!

Now how in the world could a ride such as Screamin' harm anything other than nerves? Hahaha. Oh sure, if you have it laying loose next to you, DA. I have never heard or seen that happen and can not for the life of me think of a way for it to happen. There is no electical fields you go thru, no water, no rough areas on that ride to cause a shock hazzard, only SPEED and THRILLS for which you can also get by driving down a freeway doing 70 miles an hour. LOL I don't advise doing LOOPS on the freeway however. LOL

Never had a problem with my camera on this, or any other similar ride at Disney.

I'm guessing the concern would be with the magnets that "shoot" the ride since it doesn't start with a large drop?

Though I'm pretty sure there's no such effect. I'd think that any ride with a widespread and common effect like that would be well marked and common knowledge.

I've been in the front seat with my camera out, filming the entire ride and my camera still works just fine. No worries...if the magnets ruined a camera they'd ruin your credit cards and room keys too...Hakuna Matata!

Cameras don't get damaged, usually, unless you drop them. Or something.
I wouldn't recommend, however, getting in the car after a bunch of USC football players... either a cell phone will come flying at your face, or the ride will break down because their collective weight is too much to pull up the hill.
(been there, done that, not eager to try again...)
