I've "ridden" most of the rides on utube with the lights on, but never HM. That would be so cool.
I think I'll search and see if there is one.

Seen the SM works with lights on...from the ride vehicle...but we were stopped...unloaded and taken down the elevator...given FP for any ride
Same happened to me, except it was pre-fp and we had to go down steps. I really don't want a ride with the lights on.

I rode it once in 2011 with the lights on due to a some problem (lights came on just as our ride started, but our ride completed normally). The ride is not pretty with the lights on. It was never designed to have the lights on, and everything is just hanging out in the open. There is no theming.

That would be like taking your sister to the prom...what's the point other than you did not have any other choice?
I think it would be cool. It's always in the dark so switch things up for a while
We were riding one late night during EMH's and the vehicle on the opposite track got stuck or had some other problems. We ended up doing the second half of the ride with the lights on. It was interesting to see how the interior of the building actually looked but as others have stated, its much better as intended, with the lights off.

Best lights on POV I've seen yet!

Well obviously it's better with the lights off because that's the way it was designed. But I think it would be great to ride it all the way through with the lights on. I've come close a few times, but never got to see the entire thing.

I've been on it with the lights on and it ruined the ride for me. With the darkness theres more of the unknown of when the ride cars about to enter curves or banks, also whats the sense of riding a "space ride" not in space? Much prefer the dark ride. Only wish it were "more" darker, pitch black. With lights on, it's just another coaster....

I guess when you've been on it as much as I have then pretty much know the layout as is. And it would be nice to actually get to see it as I've rarely seen it before. Let's not get crazy and think the people who want to see it with the lights on are saying let's change it and keep the lights on permanently. It's just a simple suggestion for a rare time to see it that way.

Oh I know people arent polling to get the ride changed to Lights on mode. Just saying , whats the thrill ?, its just another coaster when the lights are on.
