The Universe of Energy is a combination ride and theater attraction. The show begins as guests join Ellen de Generes 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 Walt Disney World.

There is no height requirement for this ride.

ages 11-15 Some kids find it interesting while others are bored.
ages 16-adult Most adults, especially fans of Ellen will enjoy the irreverent humor and the dinosaur section.
senior citizens The dinosaur sections and educational aspect of the presentation makes this interesting for some seniors.
