THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Journey to the North Pole
We’re so excited! Just in time for the holiday season, our Take Flight theater with its enormous 65 foot by 45 foot screen will be showing THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Journey to the North Pole.

The film, tentatively set to show November 19-January 17, is a state-of-the-art ride experience based on version movie classic about a doubting young boy who takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole. He embarks on a journey of self-discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.

If you enjoyed seeing Polar Express™ last year at Take Flight, you’ll want to come back and check out the new longer extended cut version complete with scenes and an even better, more thrilling, motion seat experience!

After the film, your family can stop by Candy Cabin where they will have memorable holiday treats, including special edition hand-dipped “Golden Ticket” Believe Chocolate Bars. Inside, the wrapper of every Believe Chocolate Bar includes a prize. We are giving away over 1 MILLION arcade tickets redeemable at any of our Mega Arcades. Some lucky winners may receive a $100 arcade gift card, and one GRAND PRIZE (1:5000) winner will receive a $250 Wilderness Gift Card. Each Chocolate Bar is a winner!

The Burger Bar will also be serving up their Polar Express-o’s made with a shot of locally roasted Espresso with white chocolate and peppermint syrup blended in vanilla ice cream served with whipped cream, candy cane, and snowflake sprinkles. An adult version of the drink can be made with peppermint vodka and a light crème de cacao. And, Klondike Pizza Kitchen will have an “All Aboard for the Polar Express Pizza Package,” which includes: a large 1-topping pizza; an order of breadsticks; a 2-liter bottle of soda and  a special Polar Express desert package that includes six candy canes and six Christmas sugar cookies.
