Universe of Energy in today's future

[THEMEPARKPIONEER]

Today our dreams of the future and near future is about helping the environment and finding better alternatives to help out planet. With today's concept of the future could it be possible that Universe of Energy could be more like Horizons or maybe even a new vershion of Horizons?

No..That's as strange as putting World of Motion in the Living Seas.

What needs to be done is an update or a new film since the majority of facts that are told in UoE are 1994 Statistics...

UOE won't ever be like Horizons, but it would be cool to have an update of it. However, then I might lose my Epcot napping place.

It would be cool if it got a 21st century eco update. Powered by large wind turbines surrounding the pavilion. These and the solar panels on the roof could power the attraction. Make the inside sort of like the Carousel Of Progress through the evolution of energy and beyond. Could be a hybrid of Energy / Horizons

What I think really to be done is bring the attraction up to the 2010's information and also do a new film while at it. Universal of Energy has the same problem as Circle of life.

Circle of Life came out in January 1995 and is an outdated film. Universal of Energy is outdated also and is only a year younger than Circle of Life. That is a problem for both attractions due to the nature of the attractions are about.

While I am very pro-EPCOT Center, the change made to the Universe of Energy is the ONLY change I like. Ellen's Energy Adventure is one of my favorites. It's funny, witty, informative, and very edu-taining. The Ellen, Bill Nye, Alex Trebek, and Jamie Lee combo is so funny and the pre show is even funnier. Other than that, bring back Horizons, World of Motion, original JII, Living Seas, Wonders of Life, Communicore, etc

I like it the way it is now.....
Add unproved crazy leftest environmental scares to the show is not need get enough of that brain washing from the "news??"

My thoughts are Americans and Canadians for that matter are hypocrites, price of gas goes up or they are told to take transit .... People say NO!!!

Green is good as long as somebody else pays the cost.

Even global warming is real.
This is a fact at times in the history of the planet the planet was much warmer, no ice.
Life survived just fine.

The message at the Universe of Energy still rings true. While some of the absolute numbers may have varied (over the years), the theme remains germane to our past, present and foreseeable future.

No, not really. Horizons was Horizons....and it is gone....for good. But it is in dire need of an update where the big oil sponsors don't act like renewable energy and energy efficiency or any power generation without petroleum involved do not have anything to do with "the universe of energy". As long as the attraction is sponsored by a special interest then the true potential of this pavillion will not be realized. The problem is in finding a sponsor who IS interested in broad spectrum portrayal of the energy universe...not too sure who would or could in today's economy throw that kind of money at a limited fanbase "commercial". Sure wish Disney would slow down on DVC build-out and take some of that Mickey Money towards not needing sponsors in FW. Given the right funding and free reign can you imagine what the imagineers could do for FW??????

Back in the '80's tree huggers were laughed at and no self respecting Camaro Mustang or even huge Mercedes driving wall street trader would even entertain the thought of a Prius but the paradigm has shifted over the past 30 years however this attraction has not.

Bring back Tomorrow's Child....

 

[Florida_is_hot]

The Universe of Energy already mentions Solar and Wind Power.
I laugh at tree huggers today.
Wonder if they think twice driving and flying all over the place .... saying how everybody else is bad for driving a car?
Wall Street traders ... sounds like you know none would like get around Manhattan by subway.

 

[copcarguyp71]

Pretty sure this is an open forum...I have stated my opinion and it is your right to disagree

 

[Florida_is_hot]

The Universe of Energy already talks truthfully about renewable energy.
They used to talk years ago about the solar panels on the roof, truth be told they never could drive the cars.
I believe solar has gotten better over 30 years but it still will not replace fossil fuel.

One of the biggest political nightmare in Southern Ontario is the wasted money on the Windmill farms.

.... Only solution at the end of the day is "Brain Power"


If anybody believes the world is going to die because of fossil fuels.

Do you drive?
Because if you do maybe you should think about transit?

Do you drive and can not take transit?
Do you drive the smallest most fuel efficient hybrid on the market?
Maybe you should ask .... demand that the price of gas stays at least $10 a gallon.
