 Best Nightime Ride?
What is the best ride to experience at night? I have alway liked ToT. I am interested in other opinions.
1965*, 1972, 1980, 1986, 1992, 1994, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2004 Disneyland ** Aug 2009 25th Wedding Anniversary, 2010 (June), 2012
Aut viam inveniam aut faciam - I will either find a way or make one

I haven't had a chance to ride Expedition Everest in the dark but hear its awsome.
Some of my favorites are Big Thunder Mountain always have to give this a ride when its dark out.
Also Astro Orbiter or the People Mover are also pretty cool at night when you can see MK from higher up all lit up its really cool.

The Jungle Cruise is such a great experience at night. The captains get more rowdy. The guests seem to be more active. The lines are shorter, and it's just (IMO) a much better ride.
We have 999 Happy Haunts here...but there's always room for a thousand.

Splash Mountain is the only ride I've done at night, but I'll bet ToT would be fun too.

Splash Mountain - the view from the exterior portions of the ride near the top are tremendous.
Astro-Orbiter - night time (with the lights of tomorrowland) is the only time to ride it.
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow

Big Thunder Mountain the night adds an element to the ride you can't get in the day.
Haunted Mansion...just spookier.
Dumbo---rode it once as the fireworks started...great experience

I agree with Splash Mountain especially if you can time it so that you come out for the big drop during Wishes. We did this last year because we've seen wishes so many times that we decided to continue doing some rides instead of looking for a spot to view the fireworks. We popped out for the big drop just as some of the fireworks were going off and the view was truly magical. A very pleasant and unexpected surprise for us.

-For the MK nothing beats Splash, especially if, as others have said, it is timed just so. I also love the TTA on a balmy summers evening.
-In DHS I adore ToT at night as it really adds to the atmosphere and it's fab to get a look at the Osborne lights in Dec.
-Over at EPCOT it has to be the Test Track, also great when the fireworks are on 
There is one other 'ride' I really love to do at night and that's the boat from POR to DD. It's really beautiful and nice to share with loved ones.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.

I love riding the People Mover at night in the MK. Tomorrow Land all lit up at night looks very neat.

Haunted Mansion is my absolute FAVORITE ride at MK, and it's even better to ride at night - it's so much spookier and it seems like less guests go on at night, so you feel like you're actually going semi-alone into a haunted house...I actually make a point to do it at least once at night 
My other favorite at night is DEFINITELY TTA because of the lights of Tomorrowland!
WDW Trips:
3/96 - Dixie Landings
8/05 - Offsite
7/08 - POP Century
8/08 - BoardWalk
Aug 23 - Leaving for WDW!!!!

Another vote for BTMRR. I think the "rock" color is so cool at night, and looking up at the stars (the few you see in greater Orlando) from some of the lift hills is totally fun!

Big Thunder Mountain at night is awesome.. I love the drop on Splash Mountain at night too.. The view you get of the park before you fall is terrific...

TRICIA JONES: I heard that you were going to propose to Brandi Svenning at some theme park. When are men going to learn that women want ROMANCE, not Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...
BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
