I love MM!!  The Lost River is fun to ride in the dark, like   rafting in the dark!  American Plunge would be cool through the already dark tunnel emerging into more darkness, Thunderation (TNT) is my favorite though, becuase you get to fly through the trees in the dark.

I would really like to ride the train at night (if they are actually running the train that late). I rode Wildfire last year and it was a lot of fun. A lot better in the dark.

We rode Wildfire last year in the dark during OTC. It was a BLAST! You go down the hill and can't see the bottom at all...loved it!

I rode Wildfire in the dark and had fun...the flashing lights of the cameras as we flew by them sorta messed with my head however...

The Giant Swing is fun because you get to look up at the stars!!!!

We rode Wildfire in the dark during a warm December evening in 2009.... it was amazing in the dark.  As another poster commented, you can't see anything but "blackness" when you crest the lift hill.

We have never been to Moonlight Madness but are planning on going this year.  For this event, is the park pretty packed during the weekdays (Monday - Thursday)?  Also, do all the rides stay open during the extra hours?  What about restaurants?  Thanks for the help in advance!

I know there are others that help you more than I can, but I can tell you that last year only a few food vendors were open.  And, yes, the rides were open (I remember most of them being open).  You'll have a great time.  I wish I could be there again this year.  I really enjoyed the evening time at the park.

I close my eyes so it all would look the same as riding at night to me! (j/k)

We went today (Monday) and it was packed!  I bought tickets for my friend and two kids who can never afford to go and had to end up buying Trailblazers passes just so her kids could do all the rides.  I saw all rides open, not sure if train was or not.  Most restaurants were open until 7, some had food deals after 7.  The Pathfinder will tell you everything that is open/on sale.  TNT was AWESOME in the dark, flying through dark trees, Wildfire wasn't as dark, with the exception of the bottom of the drop.  American Plunge and Lost river was great in the dark.  Feet are wailing though for staying 12 hours! Worth every second!

Just an FYI based on feedback I received directly from the SDC folks: 

During Moonlight Madness the buffets will close at 7 p.m.

Restaurants that are open until 9 p.m. are Aunt Polly's, Buckshot Annie's, Hatfield's Tater Patch, Wagon Works Grill, Dockside Grill, Lady Liberty Dining Pavilion, and Hannah's Ice Cream Factory.

Concessions on the Square remain open until 10 p.m.

Would I be dissapointed to go during MM? My friends and I are discussing it but I dont know.....

[Swoosh]

It's the most BUSIEST tiiiiiiiime of the yeaaaaaar.  If you like waiting in lines, than this is the time, to go during the yeaaaaaar.  You won't get to ride much, but if you don't get the hunch, this is the worst time to go ridddddddddde of the yeaaaaaaar!

You won't catch me anywhere near the park once the "discount admission" kicks in for MM.
