Bill Nye's presence in the parks

[WondersOfLife]

Hey! So out of my own spark of curiosity.... I want to put a list together that includes ALL of Bill Nye's presence in the parks!
Why? I'm not sure. He has a special place in my heart, not from his TV Show, but his park presence. I only knew of Bill Nye growing up in the parks. However, it's also interesting knowing his presence still in the parks after attempting to sue Disney a few million dollars. So. If you want to help me out, please do so!

PRESENT

AK
Dinosaur - Queue Line "Preshow"


PAST

EPCOT
Ellen's Energy Adventure - Entire Attraction
Innoventions East - Bill Nye the Science Guy (?)

DisneyQuest
CyberSpace Mountain - Bill Nye "The Coaster Guy"


Was this it? Is that all? I felt like there was more he was involved with at the parks.

He had an exhibit at Innoventions, too. And Ellen shut down? WHAT WILL IT BE REPLACED WITH?

Guardians of the Galaxy Roller Coaster...

REMEMBER, Bill Nye isn't a scientist. He just plays one on TV.

He is actually an engineer.

And, I don't remember him being in Dinosaur. ????

his presence is very minimal as it's just his voice in the old wing where the Carnotaurus skeleton is.

Nice

Hoo boy... this is not the popular opinion.

Maybe they can bring Bill Nye back in the revamped Imagination pavilion, since he imagined himself a "science guy" for so long...

I watch his show sometimes in science class. We also watched a video starring him made by Discovery Education which wasn't as good as the show. Even though the show is too '90s, it's in a good way, and it makes up for the outdatedness by being edited like a YouTube Poop and the fact that probably everybody knows the songs they spoof. (They spoofed Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind in one episode)

We got a kick out of Stop The Rock, too, mainly for the social satire...

 

[larryz]

I didn't see that one.

Computer game.

That Waco job is finally almost completley gone from Disney... Good riddance.

Like any IP, they come and go, and the going comes once the money to made off of them is gone. Fun times for nostalgia, but 20 years is forever in the entertainment business for most cash grabs of popularity.

Engineers aren't scientists? How do they engineer things without science?

I had no idea Bill Nye was from Texas.

Really? You are going there. You are commenting to an engineer. Different all together.

Is this still this way? Last time I was there, there was nothing like this at all. Maybe it just wasn't working.

Given his WDW track record, he should be known as Bill Nye WDW of 96-98 Guy.

His presence everywhere never bothered me, perhaps because I like his persona, but generally I'm not a fan of Eisner era attempts to make rides reflect contemporary popular culture and celebs. It reduces their shelf life, and diminishes the effect of being transported to another world.

(Surely, Bill Nye the Science Guy no more implies he considers himself a scientist than Bill Nye the Coaster Guy means he thinks himself a coaster?)

I had no idea Bill Nye was from Texas.

He is too. Just like Waco Jaco.

Spotted them both last week at Tacko Bell.

My father almost got a Lubbock job once, but never a Waco job.

 

[ShoalFox]

I wouldn't be opposed to a new exhibit opening in Innoventions with Bill Nye

It goes on periodically....So just as you go into the pre show it could go on.

It is. However, you could easily go through it without seeing it if you're not waiting in there long enough. It's honestly a pretty neat little segment.

OH last time we just walked through. No line. Probably why I didn't catch it. Next time maybe.

After bringing a lawsuit to Disney over a difference of money received for his Disney shows.... I dont think we have to worry much about a Bill Nye presence returning to the parks
