The Polar Express is a children's book written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg that was later adapted into the 2004 motion picture starring Tom Hanks. Our Polar Express Train Ride begins just like the film, where The Polar Express will arrive at the platform to collect guests to take them to the North Pole. Passengers will get to meet the beloved characters from the film including the conductor, the singing chefs, the hobo and of course the main man himself, Santa. Families are encouraged to wear PJs as they experience the fun-filled theatrical adventure, drink hot chocolate and eat cookies as they make their way to the North Pole. Once at the North Pole, Santa will arrive on board to meet with each guest (young and old) and give those on the nice list the first gift of Christmas, a silver sleigh bell, just as he does in the film.
