The Universe of Energy pavilion is one of the simplest attractions in the park, but this doesn’t diminish its ability to entertain and teach you and your family.
The main event starts in a large auditorium with multiple theatre screens. During this part, Ellen DeGeneres starts a dream sequence that stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Alex Trebek, and features Bill Nye, the Science Guy. This dream sequence has Ellen traveling back to the beginning of the universe, through the dinosaur age and then back to the present to learn about the creation of our present forms of energy.
While Ellen is dreaming, you have moved from a large auditorium to moving seats that will carry you through a prehistoric forest complete with animatronic dinosaurs.
Small children may get a little frightened in this scene but the dinosaurs stay away from the seats so just make sure the youngest are not close to the ends and they should be fine
This is a very enjoyable pavilion. It is rare to have a long line to get in, so save this event for a filler between your FastPass events. The ride lasts about 45 minutes and holds hundreds of people at a time so it is an enjoyable way to beat the heat.
