It is easy to tell which part of Santa's Village dates back to the parks opening as it looks straight out of the Rankin & Bass show "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer".

One of the few remaining attractions from the first year of Santa's Village is the Santa's Tree House Slide.  I'd totally take it for a ride but some 54 year old overweight bald guy would look pretty weird going down it.
