"When I was 12, I waited several hours after a long rainstorm for a final night ride on Alpengeist in the front seat.  By that point the park was pretty cleared out and most attractions had closed (I was surprised they even re-opened Alpengeist with only about 20 minutes left before closing), so it was just the famous \"B&amp;M roar\" coupled with darkness that made for a very memorable ride.  Even more awesome is that my parents actually waited it out with me.  They probably didn't realize how grateful I was, but let me tell you, I was probably one of the only 12-year-olds ever who thought her parents were supremely cool--well, at least for that night!  \n  \nIn general I prefer coaster riding at night.  Darkness always makes the rides seem faster because it feels like you're hurtling and flying into the unknown, and that feeling of flying and unpredictability is one of my favorite elements of a ride.  I'm a huge fan of Screamin' Eagle night rides at SFStl for those reasons--though the coaster itself isn't perfect, its trek into the woods makes for a great dark setting to help deliver a very good, out-of-control-feeling night ride. \n  \n~Megan \n"
