/* Pavilion History */
Since the opening of Ellen’s Energy Adventure in 1996, the Universe of Energy pavilion has seen relatively few changes. In September of 2001, a new sign was added outside of the pavilion to reflect the fact that Exxon and Mobil had merged, and become joint sponsors of the pavilion <ref name= "energy"/>. At this time, all references to the company both outside and within the Universe of Energy were updated to reflect this change <ref name= "book"/>. In 2004 however ExxonMobil chose not to renew their sponsorship of the pavilion <ref> https://www.mouseplanet.com/10610/Remembering_the_Magic_Universe_of_Energy_Pavilion </ref>, and thus all references to the company were removed <ref name= "book"/>. Perhaps the most significant post-1996 change came in 2009, when the dinosaur topiaries located outside of the pavilion were removed <ref name= "book"/>. At this time, the pavilion’s original exterior color pallet was also returned, although the mosaic tiles did not <ref> http://progresscityusa.com/2009/03/31/these-are-a-few-of-your-faces/ </ref> <ref name= "book"/>.
