Retired Attractions – Universe of Energy
The Universe of Energy is a combination ride and theater attraction. The show begins as guests join Ellen DeGeneres in her apartment watching her favorite show, Jeopardy. After Ellen falls asleep she begins to dream that she is on Jeopardy and unfortunately all of the categories involve energy, a topic that Ellen knows nothing about. Thankfully she gets help from her quirky next-door neighbor, Bill Nye the Science Guy as he takes on a journey through the history and future of energy. This 45-minute attraction is the longest in Disney World.
There is no height requirement for this ride.
