SPACE MOUNTAIN!:ROFLOL:
Seriously though, Splash Mountain was great. You get to the top of the final drop and you have a great view of the castle lit up and Space Mountain off in the distance.

I do enjoy most of the rides at night. But IMO, E:E and BTMRR are better in teh day when you can actually see. BTMTRR is fun at night, real fun, but I like it when I can see. E:E havent been on that but a few times at night, and I enjoyed it much better during the day.

Tower of Terror, Soarin, Doing the attractions at the Finding Nemo pavillion also Winnie the Pooh when all the kids are gone, Space Mountain, Test Track, Star Tours, Mickey's Philharmagic, Jungle Cruise even though you don't see a thing at all. There is too many to name but all the rides are good at night :D. Expedition Everest sounds cool at night. I never went to AK EMH because when I arrive to WDW late at night they always have it but it is closed by then. :(
So I reccomend doing rides during EMH because there won't be crowds.

Day:
Splash: outdoor theming, plus you can see the thorns in the final drop better
TTA: Even though it rocks when Wishes is going, it's such a nice break during the day.


Night:
BTMMR: The lighting rocks
HM: The cast member get more "frisky" at night, especially when kids aren't around
Buzz: Maybe it's just because the lines are shorter, but I think it adds to it.

BTMRR and Splash I prefer at night. But, we do it so often at night, that at times it's a nice treat to take a ride during the day. I've never been on ToT at night, so I'd maybe like to try that.
BTW, We sometimes like to time our Splash ride to sync up with Wishes, the fireworks are a nice treat for the upper-outside parts of the ride.

I love the parks at night! We frequent EMH's on our trip, usually eating at a nice restaurant at 7 pm at one of the resorts, before traveling back to the park for EMH's. It's our nice little routine. Anyway, here's my list for rides that I love at night.

BTMRR
Splash Mountain- awesome views and usually less crowded
ToT- rode this 5 times in a row at an EMH at Christmas. We were the very last people off the ride for the night. Very spooky and the CM's were having a lot of fun with us because other families continued to ride as well.
TT
HM
JC

Can't wait to get more night rides in this trip!
 
BTMRR- Riding it during Wishes is amazing, one of my fav things to do!
Splash mountain- i think it makes it scarier and more fun heh
TTA- just to see Tomarrowland at night is priceless i love it at night.
Jungle Cruise- Seems like the skippers have a different attitude at night and its really fun when everything is dark.
Rock 'n' Roll- Love doing this ride at night idk y it just makes it more fun!
Thats all i got for now hah

My personal faves at night are TTA,Test Track,Jungle Cruise,and like someone else said the HM at night just has a better feel even though it is inside.

So ... nothing is better during the day ?

While I agree that TOT is cool at night, I like it during the day. Looking out over the park when it is light out is creepier for me because I can see a further distance when it is light. (which is scary if your afraid of heights)
 
Most of my favs have already been mentioned...

TTA- I love it day and night- but I think it's so cool during the evening
HM- I love it because it feels more spooky when you leave
ST- Fav. ride, night or day (I'm not picky :lol:)
Sourin'- I love leaving it at night for some reason :shrug:
Test Track- going outside during the night, especially during I:RoE!

I think that covers all of them! I love going on nearly every ride at night!

So I'm interested in the people who prefer Expedition Everest at night. Is it really better at night? When I ride it, I feel like part of the appeal is the contrast between the brightness of the outdoor sections of the track and the darkness of the indoor sections.

I agree with whomever said Buzz Lightyear Ranger Spin, something about that ride is just more fun at night, it's such a great last-minute ride right before the park closes. On my last couple trips with family or friends, we've gone back to Buzz Lightyear at the end of the night and put in $5 each to whomever gets the highest score. Tommorowland in general is just better at night, between Buzz Lightyear, Astro Orbiter and Space Mountain and the night-time lighting really brings out the futuristic theming.

As for during the day, I'll put a vote in for Pirates of the Caribbean, something about the immersion of the ride is just much more appealing during the day for me. I guess I'll also put in a vote for Kali River Rapids, which I reckon I'd never want to ride at night...

I always liked the Jungle cruise at Dusk better than broad daylight.

I like being in line and coming out of the Haunted Mansion at night

I prefer Splash Moutain in daylight because I like the view of the park and the way your eyes have to adjust for a second to the light before you realize your going over the edge
