What are you favorite rides after dark?

Big Thunder...especially during the holiday season when you can see the tree lights from Santa's Reindeer Roundup. Plus the ride just seems longer and more intense.

Alice...seeing the holiday lights on Small World when you exit for a bit before reentering...it's great. Can you guess when we go? :)

Also, Jungle Cruise is very different at night...we love it!
 
Big Thunder has to be the obvious choice along with Matterhorn but for me one gem people miss is the Riverboats which are often empty.. We have actually ridden them with one other couple and the skipper(ess) was fantastic.

Drats...Fantasmic is showing every night I'm at DL so I suppose I'm not going to be able to ride the Mark Twain at night....one of my most wonderful memories of the park.
 

Last year over Columbus Day weekend, I got to ride

Indy
Space Mtn.
Star Tours
and POTC

1 hr. before closing! Very short waits (SM was the longest one at about 15 min.-- big deal!). Plus, SM has better music at night, the Indy queue w/ its traps is even creepier by dark, Star Tours just feels a little more cosmic by nightfall, and Pirates seems a little more realisitc when going from dark outside to dark inside (okay, I practically had a whole boat to myself, too-- how cool is that?).

I'll have to try your recommendations for the other rides, too. Oh, that I had but another week to see them all by night! :rolleyes:
