Coasters at Night

[Erik Johnson]

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.

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.

[Coasterlicious]

The only roller coaster ive been on at night is ROS @ SFDL.. it was nothing special..

[SLUSHIE]

Any rollercoaster.

[AllisonY2K]

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.

M-force, yo Beast is spossed to be good at night, but I havent ridden it after dark in awhile...*needs to stay at PKI till closing some time* But still..Millenium Force is SWEET after dark...

[Coasterkid20]

GhostRider. At night it becomes so INSANE and disorienting, not to mention that it has amazing airtime and laterals.

This topic begins and ends with Thunderhead.

 

Night of Thunder 2 is September 17th, IMO NOT to be missed.

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.

I like pretty much any coaster at night.

[coasterferg]

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]

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.

[dandaman]

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:

[What Now]

Any especially Ghostrider.

[Mind Eraser]

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!

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.

I love riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland in the dark.

[Maynard_Hicks]

I really love riding montezooma at night, something about the launch into darkness awes me.

[Erik Johnson]

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.)

Here are the ones I really like riding at night.

Ghostrider! Thats 4 sure

Goliath

California Screamin

Big Thunder Mtn

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.

[Mind Eraser]

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.
