I wonder if there are any Pixar films in the pipeline that focus on energy.

Aren't there some rumblings about how "The Good Dinosaur" might play a part in UoE at some point in some way??? You have to associate every ride and pavilion with a Disney movie!

I did too Martin. But, the point was that it isn't embarrassing at all. It is a situation that is different then it was, but, that happens all the time. Having a frozen AA standing there when it is supposed to move (yea, I'm talking about you Yeti) is an embarrassment because there is a good chance that that can be fixed and is worthy of being fixed because it would add greatly to the attraction. That Ellen scene has been an embarrassment since it was installed. The AA was terribly done (both of them actually) and it is a blessing that it finally did stop whatever movement it had and was removed. Now it's just a different spot in the show. One that one would think should have something in it, but doesn't. It really doesn't interrupt the entire story line. You do hear voices, but, that is hardly the only place in the ride where just voices are used.
If this is true, and I have no reason to doubt it, then they did indeed replace it with something relevant. The dialog was foolish anyway, and can still be considered to be Ellen running through the wilderness confronted with unpleasant challenges. The show had a change of script. Shows do that!
Let's not forget that the missing scene "no new rider will notice" is front and center on the app every guest has to use

The only audio, as of this past week, was the squeaking of the teradons. No Ellen or growling from the previous set holders.

So I forced myself to go on this attraction this past Sat to see the changes and it makes me feel this is not going anywhere any time soon. Now that they have re themed that particular area there is no reason to replace this attraction. To my knowledge all the Dinosaur sound effect seemed to be working, also the screens were all working too. There were some volume issues for some parts of the videos though I think this ride is here to stay. I am the only one to ever take my gf on this attraction she has gone in twice and fell asleep twice. I can't wait till this is gone as I skip it almost every visit.

Yep! Also checked website today and it is still there too. Seems like Energy is not even getting the Yeti treatment. I think the are hoping that guests will think they missed this scene with all of the "action" going on while on the ride.
Oh wait, what am I saying. They don't even care.
Yeti treatment meaning, that they didn't just leave it broken in place. They removed it altogether. I know I know it was there for quite awhile broken in place. But, we are talking right now. And by "now" I mean the last 9 months or so.

There better off using this image again as it was more iconic to the attraction......And Fantasia since it's was a tribute from the Rite of Spring Sequence..

Do my eyes deceive me??? I was watching a video of the Disneyland RR. It passes through a prehistoric tunnel before getting back to mainstreet. I could have sworn that there are two scenes that look identical to UoE main scenes. The two I am referring to are T-Rex fight scene and the apatosaurus eating at the opening scene.
Reminded me of how Imagineers always try to plus things. In my mind they plused the tunnel by making a whole new ride in EPCOT.
By the way. I find the Disneyland steam train annoying by the fact that you are sitting sideways the whole time. I much prefer WDW train that has normal forward sitting arrangement. I have not rode the DLR steam train first hand, only seen videos showing this. But annoying all the same.

Yep...Same exact molds used. A little of Worlds Fair/DL Railroad is a part of UoE..

So you haven't experienced the DLR Railroad, but you're annoyed with it? If you had experienced it, you'd know the train offers both side and frontal seating.
Sheesh.

Well, this is based off several videos that show the same seating arrangement all the times. The guests are all facing the right side of forward motion. Was just making a comment that I would not like that over a forward seating arrangement. I don't have to physically ride an attraction to form an opinion about it.
Already stated that I did not ride it, only saw videos of it.
If you saw videos online of rides with broken or missing animatronics would you not also be annoyed. Insert any ride here (Energy, The Land, Its a Small World, Splash (pre-refurb), etc.) It is just a preference thing, I still would go on it if given the chance.
I only said annoyed, not hated it. If I had only seen in videos the sideway seating and then went and rode it first hand I would be pleasantly surprised by the other seating options.
geeze. Take a breath and relax.

I'm relaxed.
My point is you can't always experience things through videos. The videos you've seen have received you.
Sure, I would be annoyed if I saw a video of a ride I'VE EXPERIENCED with broken effects. I'm not going to look at videos of attractions from Tokyo Disneyland and judge them from what I see in the videos, second hand experiences. That just doesn't make sense.
Before being "annoyed" with the DLRR, try experiencing it first, both sitting forward and to the side. You may find you enjoy Primeval World and the Grand Canyon from both views.

Given the aim of Future World and relevance of energy in today's society, I find it truly surprising that this pavilion has stayed stagnant for so long. Actually, I sort of anticipated a BP goodwill sponsorship after the devastating spill of 2010.

I wonder how the Pavillion took it during the 1989 Exxon Valdez crude spill that dumped over 38 million gallons of oil..since Exxon was the Sponsor.

Not all of the trains operating at Disneyland have sideways-facing seating. Some of the trains use a combination of forward-facing, sidways-facing (holiday), end fully-enclosed cars.
When I was there last month I rode in both side-facing and forward-facing cars.
Don't knock the side-facing cars until you've tried it, though.
Unlike at the Magic Kingdom, there's little or nothing to see on the left (outer) side of the track, and sometimes you would be staring directly at the berm or a retaining wall, so it's not like you're missing anything.
