Comments:
~My husband and I took our 5 grandkids plus their parents on the Polar Express Train in 2008 ride offered by Mt Hood Railroad.
What an absolute disapointment! The outside of the train said or looked nothing like it was the Polar Express - I mean come on guys a little paint would go a long way!! The inside of the train was old and dingy. The only decorations were tinsel garland with a few bells and snowflakes hung on it. The train ride consisted of going back and forth on the tracks - thankfully it's dark so the kids can't really see what's going on. The Polar Express narration is pumped though the train PA system by a lethargic sounding individual. You do get hot chocolate shoved at you in styrofoam cups by bored appearing kitchen staff. Speaking of staff, the "elves" looked like a bunch of high school kids with nothing better to do on a weekend evening. Santa was OK. Bottom line, save your money.       - Nanapeff, Portland
