Well, my favorite nightime ride was on Maggie-but that also happens to be my favorite ride ever.
When it comes to what coasters are most improved by darkness, honorable mention goes to Maggie (of course), Millie, (was that the same ride I rode this morning?), Iron Dragon ("We're gonna hit the water!....... We're really gonna hit it this time!"), B:TR (front row, preferably), and Raging Bull. But top honors have to go to Whizzer and Viper (SFGAm). I love the Whizzer, but, honestly, I could sleep through it in the daytime. At night, it approaches being a wild ride. As for Viper: Despite the parking lot lights, it's almost pitch-black within the ride itself. You know that there are a lot of head choppers, and that you're careening through a forest of supports... but you more sense it more than see it. It's an amazing experience.
One great summer day back in 2000, my family took a trip to PKD. At night, my brother and I took numerous trips on Grizzly. Just Awesome! The ride op let us remain in our seats and kept the ride going. We also rode Volcano A BUNCH OF TIMES and it was fantastic! There is NOTHING like riding a GREAT coaster on a hot, mid-summer night.

Feeling down? Ride a roller coaster to bring you up!
For wood, the Beast is tops and even Villain runs the best at night. I also have received the best Mean Streak rides at night.
