Best ride at night?

[Mickey 101]

What is your favorite ride to go on at night? I was able to narrow mine down to two...Big Thunder and TOT, although there were several others in the running!:)

[brivers222]

Haunted mansion for me... i know its indoors but something just doesn't seem right coming out of the ride and into the daylight.


Night time during MNSSHP is the best time for me to ride it!

Jungle Cruise! It's an entirely different ride at night, both in environment and the skippers seemingly dropping the 'daytime' script and basically making it up as they go along. So fun!

[sara114]

Tie between Jungle Cruise and Splash Mountain. Jungle Cruise - the mystery of the night adds to the effects......if lucky enough to get on Splash Mountain during the fireworks, that is the best ride !

[Stu29573]

Big Thunder. It seems much faster at night...

Agree :thumbsup:

[MstngDrvnDsnyLvr]

Jungle Cruise, the best guides make it so much fun at night.

[Rayadragon]

I'm a fan of the TTA at night. I love looking around as all the lights come on around tomorrowland. It just seems very beautiful to me.

[joonyer]

For me it's Splash Mountain, but it has to be during Wishes. That's a fantastic ride.
BTMRR is good too, but it goes too fast for you to get a good look at the fireworks.

[Auntie B]

Jungle Cruise - it is totally different in the dark!

[TheVBs]

We finally tried Jungle Cruise at night on our last trip. It truly did seem like a totally different ride, we loved it!

[Goofeygal]

As strange as it sounds TTA is my fav to ride at nite. You get a great look at the Tomorrow land lights.

[Main Street Jim]

Big Thunder. It seems much faster at night...True :)

Think about it.

In the morning(s), the trains have been sitting overnight in Maintenance. The wheels do have grease in them.

As the day goes on, the grease "heats up" (thins out), so the trains get a *little* faster. Of course, the brake zones still keep the trains properly spaced. But - in between zones, the trains *do* go just a *tad* bit faster.

Even better in the rain :)

[Disney4us2]

I love Test Track and TTA at night. Love looking at the lights at night on TTA.

[MissMaryPoppins]

Splash Mountain is the best at the night. It's nice as you're going around to see all the lights in the park and as you're going down the drop you can see The Contemporary all lit. I love the Jungle Cruise at night too because it's a little spooky in the dark.

[Dopey's Girl]

ToT and Jungle Cruise. Love them both by day, but nighttime is so cool!

Ditto

[DisneyGirl85]

Big Thunder! The only time you get to see the "party" going on in the saloon while you're on the ride is at night!

[WDWCrazyKaren]

Big Thunder! We did ride it during Wishes one night and it was spectacular! It was like our own private fireworks show. Loved it! But it's all about timing there.

[elmjimmlm]

I like riding KRR after dark...It just makes the ride totally different...:mickey:

[c&d]

Splash Mtn is probably my favorite, followed by Big Thunder. Both are even better if you're on them when the fireworks are going off.

[CU Tiger]

I agree that the Jungle Cruise is the best. :mickey:

[Butters]

My vote is for Jungle Cruise

[wickedgin]

Jungle Cruise and Haunted Mansion.
We happened to be on Astro Orbiter during Wishes one night, that was pretty cool, too.

[WDW-Geek]

Definitely Big Thunder during fireworks. :mickey:

[ronandjulie]

Disney World night is the best time! I love Splash Mountain and Big Thunder at night. One of my favorite rides at night is the Peoplemover with all of the Tomorrowland lights on and the Dance Party going on below you is too much fun.

[jillluvsdisney]

Tommorow Land Transit Authority is my one of my favorite after dark rides. I love the view you get of everything all lit up. You get a good view of the castle too.

[phlo8810]

Big thunder and jungle cruise. I think they should make JC a "haunted" ride at night.

[LudwigVonDrake]

Big Thunder Mountain :cowboy::coaster:

[Niecyboo]

I always loved EE back when they had evening magic hours. After that I'd have to go with the crowd and say Big Thunder and Jungle Cruise.

[GBBT]

Haunted mansion for me... i know its indoors but something just doesn't seem right coming out of the ride and into the daylight.


Night time during MNSSHP is the best time for me to ride it!

Or waiting in line when it's foggy and that werewolf howls!!:D Happened to us December 2010.

[GBBT]

Jungle Cruise - it is totally different in the dark!

Nothing like riding it during MNSSHP and coming to the "backside of water" and seeing the next boat with the Skipper flopped over the boats wheel "dead"........:thumbsup:

[SandmanGStefani24]

here are my votes...

Tomorrowland TA
Test Track

And can you believe I haven't done either? Will be fixing that in 8 days!

[JabberJaws]

I think I would go with BTMRR, though Splash Mt is a fun one at night as well. Also, the Astro Orbiter is a fun night one.

A little outside of the box, but try the SFR Tree House at night sometime. 100x better than in the day.

[AllDisney]

I think Big Thunder:mickey:

[KAJUNKING]

I think tta, jungle cruise, tot, haunted mansion are my favs at night, although i do feel the parks take on a whole new personality at night and just fun to be in any of them after dark

[#1donaldfan]

Jungle Cruise and KRR:thumbsup:

[darthmacho]

I'm riding Big Thunder Mountain...at night!

Night, night, night, night,
Night, night, night, night,
Night, n-night, n-night...NIGHT!

[Pigtunia]

Big Thunder and ToT

[mechanic]

Big thunder and Dumbo! At least before the move. Fabulous view of fireworks.

[mydisneygirls]

Another vote for Big Thunder. When climbing up the hill, you can see the castle at lit up!

[Daddy Mouse]

ToT, Jungle Cruise, Astro Orbiter, Big Thunder, Splash, EE.... I guess I really do not have a favorite but many favorites.

[PAYROLL PRINCESS]

I've been lucky enough to be on BTMR a couple of times during the fireworks at night and it was fantastic!! It goes fast enough that you can still see quite a bit of the fireworks. So magical!

[EJS-Houston]

I'd have to go with Test Track and Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The Hotel looks so much creepier approaching it at night than in broad daylight.

[captain j]

Tower of Terror or Test Track

[joonyer]

Astro Orbiter offers a fantastic view of the MK lights after dark, but is a long wait. For some reason, that ride scares me more than any other attraction at WDW. I am convinced my rocket is going to fall off and crash!

[TinkerbellT421]

Last week was DBF and I's first time riding Jungle Cruise at night and it was so much more fun! I don't know why but I enjoyed it at night a lot better than during the day.

For some reason even though it's an indoor ride, we love Haunted Mansion at night! Even with the interactive cool it was so much more cool at night than earlier that day when the sun was beaming through!

[CuteAsMinnie]

Big Thunder Mountain RR and ToT !
:thumbsup:

[mommyprincess]

I vote for Astro Orbiter! Sooooo high up and you can see forever...:magic:

[RBrooksC]

We went on JC for the first time in a very long time last May and we did it at night. That was fun. It was nice how they use spotlights on the boats to light the scenes. It really seems extra dark on that ride. And the TTA we rode at around midnight during EMH and what a nice time. The lights in Tomorrowland made it even more enjoyable.

[mickeys_princess_mom]

My first thought was Jungle Cruise, but I was surprised to see how many people said the same! A whole different ride, and so much more fun! :thumbsup:

[Miss Tink 2]

We went on Big Thunder during the fireworks! Felt like you could almost touch them! It was awesome!

[seanyred]

Expedition Everest is by far the best ride at night (even with Disco Yeti) Seeing AK softly lit up at night from the top of the hill is stunning. Plus if you go during Christmas time you can see the Ice Castle if you turn your head around enough. Plus it the ride feels much faster at night.

[Kaps]

Thunder mountain seems better at night. Daytime is a little soft but still well worth the ride

[DisneyDoug2]

Have to vote for JC and EE!

[Wolf]

Big Thunder Mountain 100% Its probably my favorite fast ride anyways in all the World but at night its so much fun! Plus this year during MNSSHP we got to hear and see the big fireworks show while riding it twice in a row! It was the most fun!!! We had seen the show a few times before so we didn't mind not seeing it full on on the ground. It is the fastest ride in all the wilderness, afterall!

[disneyworld55925592]

Splash mountain when the electric light parade is going on, whenever you come out of the mountain you are high up and get a cool view of that and the lit up castle!

[markfnc]

Tower of Terror. We were there at Thanksgiving and you could see the Osborne Lights , very cool.
