Hello, all!

What's the best ride to ride after dark at Disneyworld? I have a huge incling to do the haunted mansion after dark - just for the experience of walking into a haunted house in the dark....

Any others? :)

Big Thunder
Splash Mountain
Tower of Terror
 

I'm so tempted to say Space Mountain and Rock'n'Roller Coaster... :teeth:

Big Thunder and Splash are different experiences after dark.

Never done ToT at night, but it would be cool to be at the top and see MGM all lit up.
 
In the MK:
Splash Mountain
Big Thunder Mountain
Jungle Cruise
TTA
Carrousel (really!)

Others have mentioned Space Mountain, but I don't understand that - its inside in the dark anyway.

In Epcot - none that I can think of
In Studio -
ToT
Beauty & the Beast

In AK
I'd think EE would be great.
 
HM itself isn't any different (after all, it's already 'nighttime' in the graveyard scene), but it is just a little creepier entering and leaving the mansion in the dark, with the sounds of the wolf howling etc. around you...
Splash and Big Thunder are totally different experiences in the dark. Actually, Goofy's Barnstormer seems faster in the dark too! Also, Dumbo/Astro Orbiter/Aladdin's Magic Carpets are all fun at night, and the Jungle Cruise is a hoot if you get the right skipper!
 
Although I'm really a fan of the Astro Orbiter I did ride it at night and it was really great. You're up so high you get to see EVERYTHING lit up!
 
I rode HM a couple of weeks ago during an evening EMH at midnight! Really fun...also, it's not a "ride", but we climbed the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House late at night and it was beautifully lit-up, showing details I hadn't noticed before, PLUS you got a fantastic view of MK!!!

Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain are my favorites to ride after dark. It's almost like riding a whole different attraction.
 
One of my favorite experiences was Splash Mountain at night and coming to the top of the drop and seeing the fireworks over the castle. :goodvibes

Test Track :moped:
 
MK-Spalsh Mountain- The view from the top when we go around outside is great. Have your camera ready.

Epcot-Test Track. Yes most of the ride is indoors but that lap outside at 60 mph in the dark is great.

MGM-TOT- the view from the top is awesome.

AK-I do not know how EE could get better, but riding it in the dark might just do it.
 
Astro Orbitor is beautiful at sunset. The sky is pink, purple & blue and you feel like you are floating in the clouds. We've gotten some great pictures from that ride, too!
 
Big Thunder Mountain, TTA and for some strange reason Test Track
 
Haunted mansion and TOT have to be my favs. :thumbsup2
 
Astro Orbiter, Dumbo, the Carrousel, Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain. All are excellent at night.
