Universe of enegry ride with ELLen and Bill NYE?

[old lady]

DO you think she should have been in this ride?Should Bill Nye? I rather have Will smith.:yay: What are your thoughts?

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

The better question is.....

Does anyone really care about this outdated ride anymore? I think it's a total airconditioned snooze-fest.

[jlewisinsyr]

I like this ride, it simple and relaxing. I love Ellen and Bill Nye although somewhat non-existant since his kid show was cancelled is starting to become more popular again as the push for kids to learn science is increasing.

Hey Hey Hey!

Some of us need our naps! :rotfl2:

[L&Lfan]

The film definitely needs an updating!
But NO Mileys, Lindsays, Brittneys, Jonases, etc.
(Well, maybe one Jonas!)

[PghLybrt]

Call me a nerd, it is still one of my favorites!

My brother (and my daughter) would never leave the ride if you put a Jonas on there. I haven't been on it in a while (it's so far from everything else we like to do at Epcot: alcohol).

[TinkerChelle]

We love this ride! In our house it is referred to as Ellen's Big Gay Ride!:rotfl:

[minicoopercraig]

Okay, apparently I'm not educated at all about anything in EPCOT, I have no clue where this ride is. Is it out near the front near Spaceship Earth?! If it is, I've never been on any rides out that way except for Spaceship Earth, Mission Space, Test Track, Soarin' (If it's out there, I forget) and Honey I Shrunk The Audience. I wanna get to the drinks so fast I forget to look for other rides. LOL.

[turkygurl]

It's kind of tucked away in a corner between Innoventions and Mission Space. It's up by the old "Wonders of Life" pavilion. If we don't have the kids, we usually just stay in World Showcase, but when the kids are with us, we tend to ride the Land, Imagination, maybe Soarin and/or Nemo, and SE. Other than that, we're still in World Showcase b/c the kids love Maelstrom and Off Kilter.

It is kinda D U L L.

Especially the end.

You're like "All right all ready - let me outta here!

Actually Ellen is the best thing on it.

[minicoopercraig]

Well, I don't know if I should go on it while I'm there or not. That's if I even get there. LOL.

Considering the old ride was a thinly veiled commercial for atomic energy and that they were looking for a way to recycle the only cool thing they had -- the dinosaurs -- I think they did a decent job. We enjoy the pre-show and the ride. Not everything has to be "thrilling". Fun and silly is also good. I think Ellen was a great choice and also appreciate her return to WDW after her ouster from the book store in MGM.

[njchris]

This is one of my favorites!! I love the humor, the dinosaurs, the filsm.

I think it's fun and has a lot of imagination in it.

I like BOTH slow/dark rides like this AND the thrill types. I can see fun in both kinds.

[billysotherdad]

I like this, but I do think it is a wee bit too long. It is dark, and it is nice and cold in there, but it seems to go on forever and forever. I like Jamie Lee Curtis in it. I like Bill Nye. I think Ellen is terrific. But it has to be the longest attraction at Epcot.

Mike...that is not my nap place. Ask Rick. I nap in Tiki Bird and Country Bear. I'm not sure I have ever sat through either one of those two without falling fast asleep. I may have snored quite loudly once in Tiki Bird. New management notwithstanding!

Hey Hey Hey!

Some of us need our naps! :rotfl2:

No worries, why do you think that I mentioned that it's a snoozefest? I have gotten a few ZZZ's in there myself. :thumbsup2 Give me a quiet spot in the air conditioning at about 3:30pm and I am gone to LaLaLand.

[ConcKahuna]

I <3 this attraction! (of course, I'm a bit of a geek)

me too -- I remember taking my daughter on it 20-some years ago (pre Bill & Ellen) and having to tell her the Apatosaurus was "just like Freddy" (the family pony at the time). Had to give the same speech to my grandson last March -- only change was the pony's name...

[bennyb98]

I LOVE this ride. Nothing beats Ellen + Bill Nye + Jeopardy!

[NHdisneylover]

We must be a family of geeks because we all 4 love the ride:lmao: (yes even the kids who are 9 and 11 and both are Bill Nye, Ellen and Jeopardy fans).

[Sillyminny40]

Love this ride and we all love Ellen in it with Bill and Alex T.
One of my favs!
And Ellen's wedding photos in people were gorgeous and I wanted to go back see her in this ride after seeing those!

[RemixBoyNJ]

Its my epcot nap time area :)
as hard as I try to stay awake, it never seems to happen for me on this one..LOL

[Stitch'sGlitch]

I love this ride! Ellen + Bill Nye is a can't beat combination. My DW on the other hand I have to beg her to ride it with me.

[YouJustBideYourTime!]

Aww what's wrong with Ellen & Bill Nye? They're two of my favourites!!!

That being said, I grew up when Bill's show was still being made!:rotfl2:

For those of us who appreciate it, I bet it will be gone soon so enjoy it while it lasts.

To you Universe of Energy haters-I bet it won't be there for so much longer so don't worry. lol. Just my thought.

[dale62676]

Going to EPCOT Future World as a kid definitely shaped me in becoming a scientist. As an ovarian cancer researcher, I'm kinda saddened that Wonders of Life next door to Universe of Energy is closed.
I like Ellen and Bill, but it is a bit dated. I hope Disney doesn't make it into another Pixar attraction. Yes, I'm an EPCOT purist! Energy, you make the world go round!


And Ellen's wedding photos in people were gorgeous and I wanted to go back see her in this ride after seeing those!

Ellen was pretty hot in her wedding garb, and Portia looked like a ballerina dancer!

[NHdisneylover]

We loved Wonders of Life as well. The Cranium Comand show was one of my favorute attarctions (and the kids thought it was great even though they didn't have a clue who the SNL characters were). I guess we are EPCOT purists also--loved the learning mixed with fun the older attractions had.

[DWJoshua]

I would just like to go on the record as saying that I love Ellen's Energy Adventure. I have no idea why, and recognize that it makes me a huge dork...but I don't care!

[RobbNJ]

I like the ride as well. Ellen is great in it. It is a bit dated, but it still fun.

[minicoopercraig]

I have to say, I was JUST on the ride when I was there, and it was quite a slow moving ride, but I say they need to keep it around, it is different, AND it is an Epcot ride, not a Pixar one.
Also, everyone's mentioning Ellen/Bill Nye/Alex T./Jeopardy, but NOT A SINGLE PERSON mentioned Jamie Lee Curtis is in it! I was shocked that no one forewarned me, I would have been screaming like Halloween in there! LOL.
