A train tour that will go cross country for "Disney's A Christmas Carol", starting on May 22nd in Los Angeles and ending in New York on November 1st.

Here's what you can expect in the train's four cars:

•A digital gallery of the film's characters and their design evolution; each portrait will digitally change and show how they were created.

•Artifacts from the Charles Dickens Museum in London, including a first edition of the original novel and some of the author's personal writing paraphernalia.

•A display of performance-capture technology, in which the real actors' movements and expressions are recorded and digitized, then used for animated renderings.

•Interactive games, including a face-morphing photo booth that will blend the visitor's visage with Scrooge's.

I know it's only coming to Boston near where I live, but maybe I might give it a try!

They should hire the 'Flying Scotsman' in the UK...........it's an early/historic train and would be REALLY AUTHENTIC............. :D
if her restoration is completed by then she'd be a HUGE publicity draw....

It doesn't take you around the USA. It doesn't move when you are on it.

but how about when it goes to the different spots? That's what I am talking about, but I guess one would have to be famous or Jim to even be considered to ride along the U.S. :?
