Snake-Like Creature (and Ellen) gone from Universe of Energy

I still say they should take the whole thing offline and replace Ellen and Bill with these guys.

Hell, yes.

I will be so understanding if this is for much needed matainence but by just turning off the audio, ripping it out indefenently , and calling it day, deserves a very strongly worded email to let them know people notice their lack of attention or care for their show quality.

Ehh whatever, it'll just end up getting a good dinosaur overlay anyways

Sadly I could see that happening. Wish it would happen over DinoRama but I digress.

I just don't know how they could fit it into AK. I could see them tying in Uoe with the agricultural stuff from the movie, but idk how they could fit it into AK since in the movie the dinosaurs didn't die out.

Reports of multiple effects not working this week in the attraction.

Before I can check, can anyone verify it?

Snake gone, Ellen animatronic gone, doors not working, no fog or water effects at all, no curtains.
Basically no special effects left besides a few animatronics.

I'm just going with the option that would be the least offensive to the surrounding theme (imo). Plus it would be a good way to add an all ages dark ride to the park. All this talk is pointless now though since we don't even have a trailer for the movie yet. A better idea would be a reimagining of DinoLand so a ride about the extinct Mammals (Mammoths, Saber-Toothed Tigers etc.) could be included. But now it seems we would be going on an imagineering tangent away from the topic at hand, so let's not go too far down that road.

One water effect still works, the guy that spits on you. Clearly remember that from my last ride.

It sounds like its on its way out, is that what they are trying and hoping for?

I sure as hell hope not. First Maelstrom now UoE? Will Disney not stop till they've removed all that I loved about Epcot as a child?!?!?! (I was big on Dinosaurs). Spaceship Earth would be next at that pace

That already sorta kinda happened as far as Im concerned with the travesty of the unfinished descent.

I know, but the first half is still great and I do find the new ending a bit humorous if anything. Still miss the old descent though.

Best show on Adult Swim in a long time! And strangely enough, I could see this working... in an alternate universe where WDW is an adults only resort.

The last time I rode EEA, only one pre show screen was working. To my surprise, the show kept on running and we proceeded into the main theatre normally.

It was terrible. Some fans in the back were yelling, "Bad Show! Bad Show!".

I will never forget how awkward that was.

I dont know why They cant use the space as something way more fun to do with energy. Something like the wizzard down the road... make energy interesting.... ellem is so dated now!!

Ellen has been on their To-Do list for years. It has a good sized footprint and isn't overly popular, so I'm surprised that they've kept it around as long as they have.

It also just makes me feel old.

 

[SMRT-1Michael]

Random, I know, but has anyone else ever thought about how simple it would be to bring back the original Universe of Energy temporarily? Like maybe for a Limited Time - one week - special? Think about it. When the pavilion had to re-open in 1996 mid refurb due to the new Ellen films not being ready, the old films, audio, theme music were simply piped back into the sound systems and screens temporarily until the new films were ready. It only took about a week to change it over from there. I always have thought about how simple that could be just as a temporary Limited Time Magic for some Epcot Center fans. I think it would be a very popular LTM. Clearly, I'm only day-dreaming.

Imagine how old it makes Ellen feel?

 

[Bairstow]

old.

 

[MotherOfBirds]

Haha sorry, everyone. I forget that some of you are the same age as my parents

Anywho, what are the chances that it would be revamped to be about modern energy/tech? I'd hate to see it turned into the Frozen Disco Fiesta Adventure Sponsored by Monsanto
