Top 3 attractions at the Parks at Night

BTMR & Jungle Cruise are both cool at night, but they are cool during the day as well.

For us, Astro Orbiter, Dumbo, and the Carousel are rides we only do at night. They feel special at night, but seem ordinary during the day.

My favorite ride at night, however, is one of the simplest. The PeopleMover is amazing at night and a perfect way to spend 10 minutes off your feet after a long day. It truly has a magical feel at night.

And this!!! I love doing People Mover at night, and if you are going to be at MK more than one day, try to ride it during wishes so you can see the fireworks!
 
Thunder Mountain
Peoplemover -- It's really cool to peacefully be above all the lights and excitement and night, very enjoyable.
Really excited to try the Mine Train at night!
 
MK: Big Thunder and Jungle Cruise for sure. Also Haunted Mansion and TTA are both good rides at any time but maybe a little better at night.

EP: the Test Track loop is definitely better at night. Living with the Land was different at night as well but it's hard to get to ride that one in the dark.

DHS: ToT
AK: Everest - also hard to ride in the dark usually due to early park closings but it's a whole new perspective of the surrounding area if you do get the chance. Animal Kingdom as a whole is completely different at night with all the lighting...but we rarely get to experience it.
 
Splash Mountain during Wishes
Tower of Terror
Expedition Everest when possible
 

The other parks seem to be limited on Thirills that take on a different persona at night... Which I find interesting.

The other parks just don't have outdoor rides. I'm pretty sure that Epcot only has Test Track (which is really only outdoors for a few seconds.) DHS doesn't have any outdoor rides that I can think of, but you can see outside at the top of the drops on TOT. AK has a few outdoor rides, but since the park closes before dark, there's really nothing.
 
I would say:

TTA, Jungle Cruise in Magic Kingdom, and HToT in Hollywood Studios, but my favorite 'night' ride is the Monorail into Epcot.
 
I like both haunted mansion and pirates at night because your eyes are adjusted to the dark and you can see the small details better.
