Universe of Energy

This pavilion houses the "Ellen’s Energy Adventure" ride. This 45-minute presentation starring comedienne Ellen DeGeneres is an educational attraction that explains the origins and usage of energy. The first segment of the three-part show has Ellen as a contestant on Jeapardy!, where her lack of knowledge on the subject of energy is revealed. With the help of Bill Nye the Science Guy, Ellen and the audience embark on an adventure that takes you to the time of the dinosaurs. Six 96-seat vehicles creep through a huge pre-historic forest that features huge Animatronic dinosaurs. The vehicles then position themselves in front of three 30-ft tall screens to see a film about the world’s energy issues.

An interesting fact is that the large mirrors on the outside of the Universe of Energy actually collect solar energy which is used to power the ride.
