The only two of those I've been on (during the day) are Batwing and Hades 360. Both would make great night rides for sure, but I'd be a little scared to go on Hades at night, that thing is awesome but brutal when you can see where you're going.

I've done both the Beast and Steve at night and I can attest to both of those being amazing. Hopefully I'll get my much needed Voyage night ride next year. π€
Is there a night ride you haven't done that you think might challenge those three?

IMHO very close top 3... Voyage, Beast and Steve in that order. A Voyage train fully loaded with enthusiasts at night is crazy good. An honorable mention is Thunderbird at night. no moon, front row, right side.

I've done SteVe at night and it was great with the lights from underneath playing tricks with you.as you go through the structure, it was trippy and fun.
I'm an old school Arrow fan so I'm right there with ya that Vortex would have been a riot at night!

My home park is Kings Island, so naturally The Beast is at the top of my list. I miss night rides on Vortex and Firehawk. Cedar Point's Maverick and Alpen Fury at Canada's Wonderland would probably round out my top 5 at the moment. I still haven't tried Steel Vengeance, but I hear it is amazing.

What coaster that you have ridden in the day would you love to ride at night?
For me it would be Renegade. I love it in the day, but I bet it is chaotic at night.
I wanted to say Hades 360 or the Boss .. but those two are so brutal I'm afraid what they would do to me at night.
