Wouldn't be too tricky at all, really.  The question is realism.

How much the track vibrates depends on the manufacturer and designer of 
the ride.  Arrow Dynamics rides are known to vibrate signficantly, 
especially during points of lateral Gs.  B&M are known to be smooth as 
glass, with almost no vibrations at all.  Intamin is also very smooth, 
but with a few years age, they tend to just shake a little.

Of course, all of those are just for steel tracks.  For wood, EVERY 
manufacturer vibrates, its just a matter of how much.

So adding a vibration to the camera doesn't necessarily add realism. 
Besides, I would think that video compression, especially low-bitrate 
MPEG1, would HATE it.
