Astro Orbiter is pretty cool at night

It doesn't sound really logical since you're inside the building anyway, but I think the Haunted Mansion is spookier at night.
It seems more in its element at night.

I'm really afraid of heights and Astro Orbiter scared me out of my mind when I rode it at night in 2000. Will never go on it again.

Space Mountain :lookaroun
I think Tower of Terror is nice at night, gets me more into the story of checking into a hotel and its more deserted.
I know this aint a ride/attraction, but I like Tomorrowland alot at night, its feels really nice walking through to get to Space and seeing a majority of the people making their way toward main street for the parade or fireworks.

Id have to say that any ride with any part that is outside is better at night.
Examples:
Test Track - Feels faster at night
Splash Mountain - Usually doesn't have a line at night, and the whole atmosphere is enhanced at night.
Big Thunder - Also feels faster at night, and parts of the ride seem almost creepy
Jungle Cruise - When you can't see as much, the ride feels much more like an "adventure". Also, the CMs usually deviate from the script and interact with you more at night.
Tower of Terror - At night, the drop shaft stays dark, so it makes it more intense since its much harder to tell how high you are at any given moment, and more of the lighting effects in the drop shaft are visable. Also, like Haunted Mansion, its naturally better at night since it takes place at night.

Agreed. Plus Mad Tea Party is cool at night.

TTA = Tomorrowland Transit Authority, formerly known as the WEDway PeopleMover.
Tomorrowland is completely different at night -- it becomes much more dynamic and colorful, IMO. And riding the MK's Astro Orbiter at night is a blast, with all the spinning planets "flying past."

Splash, Jungle Cruise,and Astro Orbiter (get in line a little bit before Wishes and enjoy the magic) are always night rides (we generally only do them at night, actually).
what is TTA?
I heard that the Kilimanjaro Safari was awesome at night
I always thoight that the Safari closed a couple of hours before dark, so that can get the animals situated.

We love BTMR at night! We always end our day there for the last 20 or 30 minutes and ride over and over! Just like we used to do as teens back in the 70's at Six Flags! My daughter (who IS a teen!) likes to catch it while the fireworks are going. She says it's magical!

I read a review about animal kingdom at night (i think it was this site :O ) and i very much remember it saying "Try the Kilimanjaro Safari in the morning AND at night! It's totally different experience!"
Maybe you need that magic hours thing?

You beat me to it! I love the Matterhorn at night -- it's like a different ride.
At WDW, I'd put my vote in with Astro Orbiter.
