    I know I already answered, but a lot of people are saying Jungle Cruise. I have to agree. The line is significantly shorter and the cast always seems to be more funny at night.

    I am surprised Jungle Cruise is a favorite- I thought it wasn't a great ride in the dark. I will have to try on next trip!

    I used to love Dumbo at night at its old location. Our tradition was the MVMCP the first night of vacation and always got a beautiful view of the castle riding Dumbo. The new location, not so much.

    I like Peter Pan- when you go in when it is dark you see so many more details than going in during the day. Also TTA is beautiful.

    This is what I was going to say. Love splash at night, but it's absolutely perfect during the nighttime parade or fireworks.

    We also like Big Thunder at night. Jungle Cruise is also better at night, at least my family thinks so.

    The new Dumbo is cool at night due to the water lighting effects.

    1. Big Thunder Mtn. - it beats Splash only because it's almost completely outside. And you see the castle a LOT!
    2. Splash Mountain an easy second because I feel like you get the most complete view of the park from above.
    3. Astro Orbiters- we did this for the first time last time and it was awesome. One not awesome part though, was that it was December... Brrrrrr!
    4. Tower of Terror- time that baby during Fantasmic and you can ride it in the dark repeatedly!
    5. Everest! If it was ever open at night! ><

    Precisely!

    And in the don't do at night category I really don't care for AK at dusk, the lighting in certain places is just too dim.

    I am always amazed at how a ride can be a completely new experience at night. For me, big thunder mountain for sure.

    Our favorite in-the-dark park attractions are all in the Magic Kingdom - Peoplemover, Jungle Cruise and Dumbo. My favorite transportation in the dark is the monorail from the TTC to EPCOT.

    Our other favorite after dark to-dos aren't single attractions/rides, but the parks themselves -

    MK - We love walking through the various lands at night and finishing the day enjoying the lights and music of Main Street USA

    EP - As the park starts to empty, we love to casually stroll through World Showcase, and taking our time heading to the exit.

    HS - As the park starts to empty, we love to casually stroll through the park, ending on Sunset Blvd. Sunset has been a tradition since the year the studios opened; we always find a bench directly opposite one of the speakers. We relax and listen to the big band music and wait for "Sing Sing Sing" to play. This has always been the way we end each of our days at the studios.

    AK - There are so many sounds in Animal Kingdom that are difficult to hear during the day, but after dark when the park is empty, we love to explore the park, listen and try to identify the sounds we hear.

    My first one is splash mountain during the electrical light parade...so cool to see!
    Next is test track... sounds silly because its mostly inside but its really the only epcot ride that goes outside AT ALL so its cool too me.
    Third, im not a huge fan of jungle cruise but it is dark out there at night! kind of cool.
    Lastly, tower of terror is spooky at night.. very fun.

    I agree with many of the earlier posts, but I guess if I had a favorite attraction to ride at night, it would have to be Haunted Mansion!

    Jungle Cruise was a completely different ride to me at night vs. during the day. I thought it was really cool at night - although don't get me wrong it is still fun in the daytime.

    The ride home from Raglan Road on the bus at night was a completely different experience than when I got there in the day light, but that's probably not the info you are looking for.

    At MK:

    Splash Mountain
    Peoplemover / TTA
    Jungle Cruise
    Big Thunder Mountain

    At Epcot:
    Test Track / Maelstrom (only outdoor rides anyway)

    At DHS:
    Tower of Terror (only semi-outdoor ride at night anyway)

    At AK:
    Never been at night, but I imagine Expedition Everest would be totally awesome in the dark.
