Ellen's Energy Adventure is an attraction located in [[Epcot]].
==Ride Attraction History== Ellen's Energy Adventure replaced the [[World of Motion (attraction)]] on September 15, 1996. While the World of Motion took a more scientific approach to energy, Ellen's Energy Adventure had a much lighter tone. When Ellen's Energy Adventure was constructed, it used the same theaters that were used in the World of Motion. In fact, the attraction followed the same structure as it's predecessor, and it even reused the Dinosaur Diorama (although the dinosaurs were repainted and an Ellen DeGeneres Audio Anamatronic was added). Ellen's Energy Adventure stars Ellen DeGeneres, Billy Nye, and Alex Trebek and Jamie Lee Curtis and the attraction follows Ellen as she competes on Jeopardy and learns about energy. Since Disney could not use the actual Jeopardy set, a construction crew built a replica, although there are some minor differences. Although the attraction has not seen many changes, it is important to note that when the attraction opened it was known as Ellen's Energy Crisis. Disney, not wanting to take a political stand quickly changed the name to Ellen's Energy Adventure. The only other real change came to the attraction in 2004, when ExxonMobile ended it's sponsorship of the pavilion. ==Attraction Summary==
Ellen's Energy Adventure is a 45 minute attraction with consists of four movies and a dark ride.
As guests enter the attractions first room, they can see a dark movie screen on the wall. After everyone is in the room, Ellen DeGeneres walks onto the screen and begins to talk to the audience. Ellen introduces herself as the spokeswomen for the Universe of Energy, which she admits is somewhat surprising. Ellen tells guests that while she is an expert on a lot of things, not to long ago she could have cared less about energy. She says that one day everything changed as she was watching TV in her apartment. When she snaps her fingers (for a second time) we are transported back to her apartment, where we hear the TV announcer saying, "This is ... Jeopardy!". As Ellen is watching Jeopardy, her neighbor, Bill Nye the Science Guy walks in. Bill says he came over to borrow some foil for an experiment but soon enough he is watching the show with Ellen. The announcer tells guests that the first contestant is a professor of energy at Princeton University, named Dr. Judy Peterson. Ellen exclaims that Judy was her "know it all" roommate in college. Ellen claims that both Judy and energy are stupid, which Bill disagrees with before leaving. After Bill leaves, Ellen says that even if the universe needs energy, she doesn't, before she falls asleep.
At this point Ellen in the current time appears to tell guests that every time somebody takes a nap in front of the TV that means their going to have a dream. The scene then shifts to Ellen's dream (or nightmare), which has her appearing on Jeopardy along with Dr. Judy Peterson and Albert Einstein. Alex Trebeck Trebek (the host of Jeopardy) then tells the contestants the categories, which all have to do with energy. After the end of the first round, Judy has $17,800 while Einstein has zero and Ellen has negative money. Although defeated, Ellen declares that since it is her dream she can still win. Bill Nye then appears (to meet Einstein) and agrees to teach Ellen about energy, by taking her back in time.
In total the preshow video is about 8 minutes long, following the video guests enter a theater where they are seated in one of six seating areas.
When Alex asks Judy for her answer she tells him that she wrote nothing down because their is no right answer. Alex informs Judy that her answer is incorrect, and that since she bet all her money, she will finish with nothing. Ellen ends up winning with a total of $35,000, and she says goodbye before the film ends.
