/* Pavilion History */
After staying open through the peak season, the Universe of Energy closed for refurbishment on September 1, 1996 <ref name= "Martin2"/>. The attraction then finally reopened on September 15th as Ellen’s Energy Crisis, before being renamed Ellen’s Energy Adventure on October 1st <ref name= "book"/>. The new Ellen's Energy Adventure attraction featured four new films and retained the Primeval Diorama scene. Hosted by Ellen Degeneres and starring Bill Nye the Science Guy and Jamie Lee Curtis, Ellen's Energy Adventure followed the story of Ellen, as she learned about the history and future of energy <ref name= "Martin2"/>. Besides installing the new attraction, the 1996 refurbishment also changed the exterior of the pavilion. As opposed to the red, orange and yellow colors scheme that the exterior originally had, the pavilion was given new rainbow colors <ref name= "energy"> http://progresscityusa.com/energy/rehab.htm </ref>. At this time, the mosaic tiles were also removed from the exterior’s side walls. Finally, the reflecting pools located on both sides of the pavilion were filled in, and new dinosaur topiaries were added <ref name= "energy"/>.
Since the opening of Ellen’s Energy Adventure in 1996, the Universe of Energy Pavilion 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 became 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"/>.
