Rides that are better AFTER DARK?

Oh! carousel!

All the dark rides are better for me after dark. My visual impairment means my eyes don't adjust to light or darkness as quickly as most people's - if I ride Peter Pan's Flight during daylight hours, I can't make out anything in the ride until it's almost over.

The Jungle Cruise is great after dark, too. It takes on a whole new air of mystery and excitement.

We rode Living with the Land after dark last year. Really cool!
Also Jungle Cruise. Very different "feel."
LOVE BTMRR in the dark. DH and I would laugh hysterically the whole time. So fun!
7DMT is super fun in the dark.
People Mover is fun!
Basically I just love all the parks after dark!

It's interesting that Jungle Cruise keeps getting mention. I would never think or have tried it at night. But now I will!

Yes, do it! It’s so much better at night! We love it.

Have you tried wearing dark sunglasses in the queue or for a half hour or so before hand? Like the really dark reflective ones?

Other than the the Safari (due to getting a better view of the animals), I can't think of a single ride I'd prefer to ride during the day vs. at night. Everything is more fun in the dark.

Safari at night was no good.

Kali River Rapids. June 2017 in the last 30 minutes of the park closing we rode 4 times in a row without getting off. The ride is so short so the 4 times was awesome. We even had it to ourselves on one ride. Definitely more fun in the dark!

Really enjoyed BTMRR, Splash Mountain and 7DMT.
AK Everest. Have not tried the Safari at night yet.
EPCOT - have not done any at night as we are always in World Showcase at night.
HS- Tower of Terror

I have done all of the current rides at wdw and Astro Orbier is the one ride I will never do again, scares me to death

I love it because of that, and I am terrified of heights. Yep, I'm weird. But the last time we rode it at night, it coincidentally was during the fireworks which was amazing.

Personally, any outside ride is more fun at night.

WE just did Splash on Thursday during fireworks and that was so fun! We also love BTMRR at the very end of the night - they make it go so much faster! Also, we have been on the magic carpets during fireworks as well!

Speedway during the fireworks.

my friends and i were the last ones on haunted mansion one night. that was pretty cool.

i also really like tomorrowland at night.

Haunted Mansion is the best and the Animal Kingdom Safari ride. Haunted Mansion is even better when you are getting wet and at night.

 

[FlightlessDuck]

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Jungle Cruise
The People Mover

 

[Delirium]

People Mover
Everest

One that's not been mentioned yet is Dumbo. There really isn't much to see on Dumbo during the day. But, being up at night, all the lights just make it a totally different experience.

 

[AMusicLifeForMe]

My favorite attractions at night are:

-Expedition Everest
-Big Thunder Railroad
-Jungle Cruise
-7DMT (only putting this on the list since I prefer this at night than during the day).
-Peoplemover

I am very interested in how the Toy Story Land attractions will be at night. With the pictures of SDD at night, I am really excited to check out that rollercoaster in the evening hours.

I have. They do help some, but not really enough. Although, I've only tried them in the brightest sunlight - maybe they would make the difference at dusk or on an overcast day.

I’ve apparently been riding a different HM all these years.

 

[Cornucopiaoflove]

Yes to TM at night! I'd also add Splash Mountain. We dropped right as fireworks were going off...so I was really excited and also panicked because I hate big drops haha
