tracer lights

Christmas lights on Blue Streak? I think that fits in perfectly with that park (Definetly on my 2002 list).

I've got to go at night. To the headlights still work?

No, they didn't have the headlights on when I was there. I forgot to ask about them.

Giant Dipper at SCBB! The coaster looks all old and dilapidated as is. When the lights are on, it's super creepy! You get that "haunted carnival" type of aura.
I second that, Giant Dipper! Just beautiful. Check out the movie The Lost Boys for a couple of great shots of the Dipper. :)

"Ya know, It's kinda funny, Millennium Force's lights on the lift hill are controlled by a simple on-off light switch, not unlike one you may have in your room to control the lights. I was suprised... I guess I was expecting some massive lever that required two people to pull down to get the lights started.

In case anyone is wondering exactly what those lights are, I am pretty sure that they are:

...but they may be the previous model that was offered from this company (I know that Power Tower uses lights like these, as I've seen them). I was gonna say you were wrong about what controls the lights, becuase typically lights like these need a specialized controller, but then I saw on the web site that they have a built in memory for for up to 32 steps of programming. However, it would still be more accurate to say that a switch controls their power, not the lights themselves (and I would still think that they use a controller so they can program different color schemes for different occasions).

Working with programmable, aka "intelligent" lighting is my profession - http://lighting.dynamicgroove.com
I hope someday to work in a park, 'cause I have some great ideas for special effects lighting for coasters.

No need to tell me this Joe... Being a DJ, I know all about intelligent lighting and linking up multiple fixtures. To say the on/off switch is realitve to the power on/off  of the light controller is indeed more acurate.
