Daytime - Nightime. Two rides for the price of one?

[Hound 109]

Inspired by the JungleCruise at night thread.....I thought I'd ask:

What rides offer two different experiences day vrs. night, & would be logical to try both for maximum Disney enjoyment? Off the top of my head:

- JungleCruise. (i like day & night)
- StorybookLand. (i like day & night)
- Screamin' (never done it at night)
- Griz Rapids (never done it at night)
- Matterhorn. (i like day & night)
- TeaCups. (never done it at night....it's pretty at night though)

Others? & Which time of day do you prefer & why?

When I was a kid, my friends and I swore Space Mountain went faster at night. That was our favorite time to ride for some reason. I prefer Matterhorn, Pirates and Haunted Mansion at night--I just like the experience, and coming out of the ride from the dark, into the dark.

We love Big Thunder Mountain at night! We also ride it during the day, but with a lot of staging lit at night, it's too cool!!!!

Another vote for Big Thunder. It's a totally different ride at night, always a must-do for us!

We rode Grizzly River Run at night once, and that was really cool. It seemed faster.

another vote for big thunder! I would like to do splash at night but our last trips it has been way too cold! We only do jungle cruise at night, have not been in the daytime for years, it just seems better in the dark.
If it's warm enough I will try Grizzly rapids at night too!

I've heard that nemo is cooler and more realistic at night!

How could i forget Big Thunder.

On our first visit to WDW 9-10 years ago, we found ourselves on Big Thunder at MK at night. As we got in the train, the fireworks began. It was unbelievable. (no line so we rode it again as the fireworks exploded over our heads).

We'll have to try that again.....but at Walt's Park.

Had this been years ago......................

I would have definately said the SKY WAY!!!!!!!

So neat to see the park from up there...day or night.
