This incredible 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 us to the
time of the dinosaurs. Six 96-seat vehicles creep through a huge pre-historic forest that
feature the largest animatronic figures ever built. Children love the huge dinosaurs and
unique style of presentation. 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
to note is that the large mirrors on the outside of the Universe of Energy are actually
collecting the solar energy that powers the ride.
