After Santa has visited with the passengers on the Christmas Express train, he must get back to the North Pole. Santa will head back towards the North Pole, waving goodbye as he goes.
Review the training material to learn how to bring this scene to life.
As the Winter Wonderland Santa, you will stand across the road, waiting for the train to approach. Stay hidden so no one on the train can see you. WAIT until the Santa from the train gives you the all clear. He will come to the back of the train and give you clearance.
Once the timing is right, walk around the train and into view. When you can see the passengers, turn towards them and wave. Turn, and walk into the trees. Turn one more time, wave, and then turn and walk into the trees, out of sight.

Guidelines
We want you to have fun. However, there are a few rules you need to remember at this scene:
1. The MOST IMPORTANT, #1 rule you need to know: DO NOT GO NEAR THE TRAIN. Do NOT climb on the train, do NOT hold onto the train, do NOT walk directly beside or behind the train. You are required to stay AT LEAST 20 FEET away from the train AT ALL TIMES.
*If you violate any of the train rules, you will be sent home and will not be allowed back, period. The train is a ginormous and dangerous machine. Don't risk getting hurt, it's not worth it.
2. When the train arrives, BE IN POSITION across the road, hidden from view, ready to come out whenever the Train Santa gives you the all clear.
3. Don't move the objects in the scene. If you have an idea and want additional props, run it by Alivia (702)672-1048 first.
4. Don’t stop acting until the train is totally out of view–until you 100% know that the passengers can’t see you anymore. If they see you stop acting before you’re out of sight, it takes away the magic.
