Warriors can stay in cars or go on the roof, but if they leave the train for any reason they lose. The train is miraculously large enough for Godzilla sized warriors.

Starting location:   Warriors start three cars away from each other.

Hazards:  It’s a speeding, runaway train; short time

Santa's Village at Lake Arrowhead
