6. Riding Creepy Rides at Night Is Even More Fun. Call me corny, but I love riding spooky or dark rides in the evening.  The ride queue to Pirates of the Caribbean is much more cavernous and eerie in the dark.  The Haunted Mansion is one of my all-time favorite night rides as is Big Thunder Mountain and Tower of Terror in Hollywood Studios.
