yes, in my opinion. Still great anytime though. I just love the lighting at night. I only know what I've been told by a VIP guide and that guide confirmed that, yes, the ride does in fact get sped up after dark!

In the morning, everyone is scrambling to get on rides, and lines tend to get long quickly. At night, everyone is tired of waiting in lines all day, so they're filtering out of the park, and lines can be a lot shorter (often much shorter than posted times).
You can buy the Genie Pass to buy access to the lightning lane (or whatever they call it these days), but even with that you will still be waiting in line.
You can pay for a private tour which may include fast access to select rides.
The best seat on a coaster, then, is a matter of personal taste. If you love the feeling of weightlessness, head for the back.If you want the best view of the action, head for the front. The cars in the middle provide the weakest ride, but it's a good bet you'll still have a good time.
If a coaster's acceleration is too great, however, the force of gravity stops the flow of blood to the eyes and brain. At higher levels for longer periods, extreme g-forces could cause blackouts or temporary blindness. But the g-forces roller coasters exert are relatively harmless.
The greatest number of different roller coasters ridden in a 24 hour period is 74, by Philip A Guarno, Adam Spivak, John R Kirkwood and Aaron Monroe Rye (all USA) on 9 August 2001.
In a typical coaster design, the riders in the front car get an unobstructed view of all these obstacles whipping past them. In a coaster that has seats facing backward, the rear car offers the best of both worlds -- you get a great view and the most intense ride.
The last car is pulled faster over the curve, and so experiences greater acceleration tangential to the track, even though its linear acceleration along the direction of the track is the same as the first car.
People with high blood pressure and/or heart conditions are warned not to ride roller coasters because of the way they tax the cardiovascular system. The adrenaline rush that roller coasters give you causes a rapid spike in your heart rate and blood pressure.
“As far as an age limit, though, if you are physically healthy and up for the thrill, there is likely no greater risk for someone who is 60 than there is for someone who is 20.” The largest concern for those who indulge in roller coasters is the after effects.
It suggests that the chances of being killed on a rollercoaster are just one in 170 million, while the injury odds are approximately one in 15.5 million. For perspective, 658 people died in the US in boating-related accidents in 2021, USA Today noted, while 42,915 people were killed across the country in car accidents.
Splurge on after-hours eventsIn 2023, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom are selling tickets for dates early in the year at prices that rival a full day's admission. “That is an enormous time saver,” said Jeffrey Merola, a Walt Disney World guidebook author and owner of Mouse Vacation Planning.
Disney also offers what's called Disability Access Service to guests (you're not a “visitor” — you're a “guest”!)who are unable to wait in a long line due to a disability. The card allows you to go to an attraction and get a set time to come back and experience the ride.
DAS is intended for Guests who have difficulty tolerating extended waits in a conventional queue environment due to a disability. DAS doesn't provide immediate access to experiences, but rather allows Guests to request a return time for a specific experience that is comparable to the current standby wait.
