I like raging bull at night espically because your higher than the fireworks that they sometimes shoot off...that is a weird sensation looking down at fireworks. Viper is so dark inside the structure--kinda like Ghostrider. Superman is better at dusk. At night it seems too dark to see much. Dusk gives it an interisting effect.

One thing I like about the dark, is everthing all lit up... I think that makes it a lot cooler.

I love night. It seems that you are going a lot faster than you really are. And on Bat man you don't now which way you turn. 8)

It's something about it feeling cooler and damper, and everything is more disorienting.

Damper? I wouldn't say it gets damper, maybe in May/early June... Cooler though, definately. I really like nights in July... I think that's the best time for night riding. The temperature is usually just right.

Hmmm... I suppose if it's a wet day (rainy) it would probably get a little moist at night...

Okay, well that's at least how it is at CP and SFWoA because they are both right on lakes. I guess now to think about it, you SFGAm folk wouldn't know exactly what I'm talking about. But it does feel like a dew has set over the park once the sun goes down.

If the coaster weren't crowded during the day, I would say it doesn't matter. The only reason I would pick night and morning over day is because of that. For flats, I would rather do night than day because of the lights (Triple Play, Whirlgig, Condor, and The Orbit). However, it doesn't usually work out that way, and I just go on Triple Play at night because I have no time left.

On sunday my dad and i got on RB at night and i went on AER at night. I love night rides. My best night rides this summer were some time in july on a thursday. Nobody was there at night and we got 13 rides on the eagle in about an hour. It was awesome.

Batman at night is definetly better. Because you lose all sense of what's up and what's down. I love it.
