Ellens Energy Adventure

TIME : 2016/2/18 10:59:16

This 45-minute ride is the oddest attraction in Orlando, perhaps in the entire state of Florida. It begins with a movie during which Ellen DeGeneres dreams that she is playing Jeopardy! with Jamie Lee Curtis. Determined to outsmart her know-it-all opponent, Ellen joins Bill Nye the Science Guy on a trip through history to learn about energy sources. At this point, you board a 96-passenger vehicle and lurch slowly through the darkness into the Cretaceous period.

Giant dinosaurs stomp about menacingly and, in one particularly surreal display, a mannequin Ellen battles a ferocious one. After this jaunt through dinosaur-land, the movie preaches wind energy, hydro-energy and other alternative fuel sources, and concludes with Ellen's Jeopardy! victory. The whole thing is just very bizarre.
