The Universe of Energy was an opening day attraction at EPCOT. Sponsored by Exxon, the ride was a weird promotion of fossil fuels and was never very popular, so in 1996 it was updated to Ellen's Energy Adventure, starring Ellen DeGeneres and Bill Nye the Science Guy. This video explores the history of the forgotten Universe of Energy attraction, the update to Ellen's Energy Adventure, and the story of one of the weirder dark rides in Walt Disney World history.

Thanks for watching my video on Disney World's Universe of Energy: Ellen's Energy Adventure! I wanted to take a look at a specific lost and forgotten attraction this time after spending so long on my previous video on abandoned Disney World exploring and I hope you enjoy hearing this weird story from Disney history as much as I enjoyed making it!
