The Universe of Energy explores the various types of energy present in the world and how its used. The current attraction is called "Ellen's Energy Adventure and stars Ellen and Bill Nye in a dream version of Jeopardy. You are introduced to modern energy technologies and where fossil fuels come from. Your moving theater journeys back in time and rolls through a prehistoric forest. Followed by a look at future sources of energy.

This used to be one of our favorite attractions. The ride was interesting and informative. With the current show configuration (Called Ellen's Energy Adventure) it seems to take an eternity… There is only so much Ellen a Geek can handle…

The general suggestion for Future World is to visit in the late afternoon and evening hours, because it is less crowded usually. If you see a large line, ask a cast member where the cut off for the next(current) show is. Each show can accommodate several hundred people and the theater will swallow up large lines in a single show. The LazyGeek says the head support is rather weak on this ride so sleeping is not very comfortable, but possible on this attraction. Also note this is a 45 minute attraction so plan accordingly with food and restroom stops in mind.
