Thrillseekers on the Sunshine Coast are in for a treat as Aussie World prepares to transform into a neon wonderland for its popular after-hours event, Ride the Night: Glow After Dark.

Scheduled for Saturday, April 11, this special event offers a rare opportunity to experience the park's collection of rides and attractions under the stars, accompanied by a vibrant, high-energy atmosphere that differs significantly from a standard day at the park.

Rides in the Dark

The headline attraction of the evening is, of course, the chance to jump on Aussie World’s signature rides after the sun goes down. From the thrills of the Dingo Dash roller coaster and the dizzying heights of the SX360 thrill ride to the classic fun of the Dodgems, the park takes on a completely different persona when bathed in neon lights.

For many, night riding is the ultimate way to experience a theme park, offering enhanced sensations of speed and a unique perspective on the park's layout.

A Neon Atmosphere

True to its Glow After Dark name, the event encourages guests to lean into the theme. You can expect:

• Neon & Glow Decor: The park will be decked out in fluorescent colors and lighting displays.
• Entertainment: Live DJs and performers are typically on hand to keep the energy high throughout the evening.
• Glow Merchandise: For those who want to blend in with the scenery, glow-in-the-dark accessories and face painting are usually staples of the event.

Important Ticketing Details

If you are planning to attend, be aware that Ride The Night is a specially ticketed event. Standard day passes or annual passes may have different access requirements, so it is vital to secure a specific event ticket.

Aussie World has a strict policy for this event:

• No Refunds or Cancellations: Tickets are non-refundable and cannot be changed to different dates.
• Rain or Shine: The event will proceed regardless of weather conditions.
• Transferability: If you can’t make it, you can gift your ticket to a friend, as tickets are scanned once upon entry.

Top Tip: Wear your brightest white or fluorescent clothing to make the most of the UV lights scattered around the park!
