Erik Johnson Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I really enjoyed riding the Hulk at night. Islands of Adventure was open until 10:00PM on 7-17-05 and I was finally able to ride this coaster at night instead of the usual dusk. WOW! the tunnel with the launch was very cool with all of the fancy light work. There were also some neat strobe lights as the coaster went around the 2nd 360 inversion. I thought it was the on ride photo going off but we were the only car in the back half of the track. The Hulk is great during the daytime, but I was really impressed riding it at night. Also seeing the firework show upside down was kinda neat. Doom's Fearfall was also a real treat at night as well....again really neat lighting. I wish that Universal stayed open longer at night...10:00PM is still too early to close during the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Superman at SFNE. It's my fav to begin with, but dropping into that red neon-glowng mist after the first drop is the best moment on a coaster I've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllisonY2K Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 all answer the obvious: I like to ride any of them. day or night. Kumba was cool. out in the open it was warm, in the enclosed part (before the last helix) it was a little chilly, so you had that little climate change which was kind of cool.

Coasterkid20 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 GhostRider. At night it becomes so INSANE and disorienting, not to mention that it has amazing airtime and laterals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamminJ Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 This topic begins and ends with Thunderhead. Â Night of Thunder 2 is September 17th, IMO NOT to be missed.

Rugged One Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Any coaster is good at night allthough my favorites to ride in the dark are kick ass woodies. Legend, Raven, Rampage, Boulderdash, Phoenix, Ghostrider, Thunderhead, Hades, Ozark Wildcat, Timbers. I'll take a night ride on any of those over anthing else.

coasterferg Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Any coaster at night is awesome. But I would have to agree that Millenium Force is awe-inspiring at night, especially with its awesome lighting.......as long as you don't ride in the front car and get plastered by bugs!

memphish Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Can't believe we got to page 2 with no mention of the Raven and Legend. ...And I'll go ahead and speculate the Voyage. I hope we can one day have another SRM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I especially agree with Reon. Millennium Force is my favourite coaster to ride at night. Heck just looking at the tower's light show is enough to leave me in awe. An added bonus I got for my first ride on MF: The fog from Halloweekends was drifting over the track. All I could see going down the first drop was the track curving in, but not pulling out... :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind Eraser Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 One that has always floored me at night is Boulder Dash. Twisting, turning, dropping, diving - all in complete, complete darkness. Well, aside from barely making out the trees as they fly near your head! Total chaos. That ride is a work of art! Â Â -kip- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno Insane Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Megafobia. In the summer when Oakwood stays open till 10pm. Pure total darkness, disorienting & wild. Even more wild when RCCGB have a ERS on it with glow sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Johnson Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 I love riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland in the dark. Yeah Big Thunder and Splash Mt. are great at night. I really like the Montu at Busch Gardens Tampa at night. The tunnels are pitch black (other than the on-line photo camera blinding you for a sec in the first tunnel.)

it Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I love riding floorles coasters at night.I just like the feeling that theres nuthing under you and the effect of riding it at night gives it another scary factor to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Eraser Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Another great one I forgot - Kings Dominion's Grizzly. The woodie is submerged in the trees. Very dark and that deafening tunnel (with a bunny hop) is truly scary. Â Â -kip- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
