That one is great, and I also really love Behind the Waterfall. It used to play in 4 different locations on property at one point, now it's completely gone. It's the perfect music to listen to at work.

It's kind of ironic that the last ride ended with a breakdown. The first time I remember riding EEA, the ride broke down while we were in the theater after the dinosaur scene. I was so upset we missed the ending! Did Ellen win Jeopardy? At least a cast member was kind enough to give us the cliff notes version of the ending. Thankfully I was able to ride it interrupted several times in the following years, but I kind of regret skipping it this year and not giving it a proper goodbye.

It's certainly possible, even likely, that many of those AAs get reused -- at least being reskinned for other attractions in the future. I mean, if the rumors about the Alcatraz ride having over 100 AAs planned are true, they could use many there....
A lot of us are holding out hope that the dinosaur AAs from this ride might be used for a primeval world diorama for the MK railroad or put in a new attraction in Dinoland USA. Would seem a waste otherwise.

I really hope so. I just would like to know where they will end up, especially if they get moved to another attraction. That'd ease the feeling that they don't care about the rides lol.

@marni1971, feel free to use my pictures from the rides last day of operation and the last time guests were in the building. I would be honored to be part of your tribute to this ride

That was it, UOE never reopened after that.

Apparently the ride had gone 101 twice. The first time it came back up, the second time original plans were to have a re-ride, turns out that never happened. Am I the only one who says this, but "good riddance" Ellen's Energy Adventure. Many of the original UoE fans never even liked it and are glad to see it gone.smh.

From Attractions Magazine on Twitter at 7:13. The last riders are probably in the pre-show now: https://twitter.com/Attractions/status/896872259742085121
The guy in the red shirt with the green backpack looks very familiar to me.

Yeah, me too.
Happened to me once with Frozen Ever After, me and three friends of mine were standing in the stand-by line for the attraction when we heard a CM announce the ride had shut down due to technical difficulties and we were lead out the queue. Bullet to the chest right there!

Having said that, I am looking forward to the new attraction, given the recent success of GOTG Mission Breakout. However, I am sure that I have a theory on how each side of Future World will be themed:
- Future World East (GOTG, MS, TT) - Technologies and Discoveries Never Explored (Time Travel, Space Exploration, and Automotive Design)
- Future World West (Imagination, The Land, The Seas with Nemo & Friends) - The World Around Us (Imagination, Our Ecosystem, and the Ocean)

You'll give away our position!!!The guy in the red shirt with the green backpack looks very familiar to me.

I got to touch pieces of set and the animatronic that spits at you. There's no reride but I got a ride in earlier.
To me, this was the perfect send off to the audio animatronics that captured my childhood imagination. I just wish the Elasmosaurus came to the party too.
Goodbye, Universe of Energy. You will be sorely missed

A few weeks back, the condition of the ride make me impressed it made it to the "last ride". It was in bad shape and barely limping through then. Sad it couldn't get one last trip through...this was a ride that deserved a proper retirement before the ladder shows up.
