How do you remove the batteries from Glitter Glide?

[Sparkle Pony]

I got a second hand Glitter Glide for Christmas and since she has a light up crown, I assume she has batteries in her?  I figured she would twist apart at the abdomen to give access to the batteries, but that doesn't seem to work and I don't want to brute force it unless I'm sure it's right.

She doesn't have batteries in her.  They are in the stand her one skate fits into seen here: http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Glitter_Glide  Without the stand, she doesn't light up.

I just found that out actually.  Good to know I don't need to worry about battery leakage or anything.
