I always like the ride. although I think the original version was better by far. The newer version is more of a joke.IMHO.
On our last trip, this past September we could not ride it because the powers that be no longer allow ECVs.

Really? That's odd. Do they allow them through the Jeopardy part and then transfer into the vehicles, or not in the building alltogether?

Several years back, we did go through the whole attraction in our ECVs. This appears to be a new ruling, and as far as we are concerned, it <stinks>.

Huh. I like Universe of Energy. It's a great place to rest your feet and cool off when it's hot and I think the show is really cute and entertaining. A bit corny maybe, but not to the point of being unable to enjoy it.

I'm trying off the top of my head to think of one instance where a ride was gutted or demo'ed and the repalcement was better. Can't think of any.
Correct me if I am wrong, But didnt Toy Story Mania replace the who wants to be a millionare Game show at Hollywood Studios?

We like it, but in the afternoon, when all the other lines are long & we enjoy the rest and the A/C. But we find it funny! "The Ting Tang?"

It's definitely not on our list of favorites, but I agree with others here, it's a great way to take a break in the a/c and the kids enjoy it.

Millionare wasn't a ride.

I actually like the ride, but I do think they could totally update the attraction to be something new and exciting. Its a large building and I am sure there is a new way to address the idea of energy
And Test Track is way better than World of Motion

If you've never been on this ride, here is a list of those who might enjoy it:
- You like watching Discovery Channel documentaries
- You like dinosaurs and the chance to see life-like ones in a realistic environment
- Your a fan of Ellen Degeneris
- Your a fan of Bill Nye
- You need an extended break and want to do more than people watch
- You want to see a ride system that is one of the most unique in Disney World
I like this ride, but once a trip is enough. I go infrequently so I don't remember most of the details.

I have to be in the mood for this one. Some days, I'm really into it, others, I'm falling asleep 25 mins in and praying for the end. Haven't ridden on the past 2 trips, and probably won't go on this trip either since we'll only have 4 days in the parks and not much time to spare.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

Awful, just awful.
amen to that, worst ride in WDW, if you need to relax and cool down, go onto spaceship earth or journey into your imagination

I like the ride/show, but it's not one of my favorites.
I can't remember if I rode the ride back in 1990 or not. If it was there in the '90s who was in the video before Ellen? Or has it always been Ellen? What else has changed throughout the years or not changed with this ride/show?

Yep, before Ellen it was a much more straightforward science exhibit. A lot of people said it was boring, so they spiced it up with humor. Most people liked the change, but some hated it (pretty much like when they change anything). I saw both and like the Ellen version better.
