Santa's Sled



The Magic Sleigh Ride was a Santa Claus-themed excursion, found on the Night Club Rooftop during the Holiday Party 2009. Segregated only for members, it consisted of a giant sleigh with a sack of presents at the back and a control panel in the front. Players could earn a Santa Suit if they achieved the goal of accurately delivering fifteen presents.

After all the presents were delivered into chimneys of igloos, the Sleigh returned to the Night Club Rooftop if you chose to land, and players were awarded a Santa Suit if they won. The circuit then continues. Aunt Arctic could be met here if you were lucky!

The Ride
The Sleigh started off on the Night Club Rooftop, where you were taught the main controls of the sleigh. You could actually stop the demonstration by immediately pressing Fly, or wait for the demonstration to finish and then it would fly. During the Countdown, you could stop it and get off the Sleigh by pressing Land. After the Countdown, the Sleigh would take off and you could start delivering the presents. You delivered the Presents by pressing the Present Release button when a chimney was near the hole in the Sack of toys. The Igloos were based on the Christmas Igloos from the Igloo Upgrades Catalog, which were the Snow Globe Igloo, Basic Igloo, Candy Igloo, Deluxe Igloo, Deluxe Candy Igloo and Gingerbread House Igloo. As soon as one had delivered all fifteen presents, a Santa Suit would be available for a limited time. If you already had it, a Seasonal Message would appear. The Circuit then continues, though some penguins pressed Land after completing the Ride. If you landed, it would land on the Night Club Rooftop. It was unknown how you got back where you started, as you went forward. And when you landed, you got back on the Night Club Rooftop, and if you started the circuit again, it started like when you first started.
