    Default Best ride at night?

    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!

    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!

    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 !

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    "It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.
    "So it is."
    "And freezing."
    "Is it?"
    "Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately."
