Guests of the free attraction will get a behind-the-scenes look at the magic behind the new 3-D movie which stars Jim Carrey and is directed by Robert Zemeckis.

During its 24-week tour, the train will make 40 stops in 36 states and will travel across more than 16,000 miles of track.

The four, custom-designed vintage rail cars will feature behind-the-scenes attractions, demonstrations and activities.

Set amidst a snowy backdrop of carolers and decorations, the tour has all the bells and whistles featuring authentic artifacts on loan from the Charles Dickens Museum of London, artwork, costumes and props from the film.

Visitors will have a chance to morph their face into one of the film's characters using HP TouchSmart PCs.

The tour kicked off Memorial Day weekend in Los Angeles and ends in November at New York City's Grand Central Station.

The movie opens nationwide November 6th.
