Hey Ya'll!
It's been fun to remember Horizon's; the World of Motion; and the Tapestry of Nations Parade.
So now let's take a look back at the original Universe of Energy B.E. (before Ellen). When you are under the age of 5 this ride always made you a little scared because it was a dark ride with these huge dinosaurs lurking over you and around you.
The pre-show featured a film that was shown on a screen that had tiles that rotated that showed different forms of how we harness energy (I remember a windmill being one of them).
From there you would walk to where they loaded the ride vehicle for your journey. Most of the ride itself today has stayed the same except for the scenes of Ellen and the voice over audio track. The smell in this place was a unique one...I remember a store in a nearby town that had the same smell and it would always make me thing of the Universe of Energy...kind of wood stove sort of smell.
From the different scenes with the dino's you travel to another area with more screens that featured people who were walking, running, etc. and featured the song "Feel the flow, here we go, to the Universe of Energy". Another song featured on this ride was "Energy You Make the World Go Round".
I miss the original version of this ride. The Ellen version is o.k. but I think this ride needs a refurb maybe with some of the original music back with new performers singing it.
Hope this brings back some memories and if Ive forgotten anything then I'm sorry and add it so it will refresh my memory..lol.
Take care.
