In a playful update to the signature attraction at the Universe of Energy pavilion, Ellen DeGeneres welcomes Guests into her nightmare: a “Jeopardy!” match where the clues are solely about energy - something she knows nothing about -against Albert Einstein and her genius college roommate, Judy (Jamie Lee Curtis).Fortunately, neighbor Bill Nye (of “Bill Nye, the Science Guy”) jumps in to teach her everything she needs to know. As Guests follow Bill and Ellen in moving theater cars, they travel back in time to the beginning of the universe, through the world of dinosaurs and back to the present, where humans confront the energy challenges looming in the future. Returning to her nightmare, Ellen mounts an impressive comeback, but the outcome hinges on Alex Trebek’s final Jeopardy clue: What is the one source of power that will never run out? Think hard - although the theater cars are partially powered by the 80,000 photovoltaic solar cells mounted atop the pavilion, it’s not the sun.

(a fictional website) Then, in traditional game show style, he mentions that as a consolation prize, “Some contestants on Jeopardy! will receive a year's supply of energy. Energy, You Make The World Go ‘Round." This line is actually a tribute to the original attraction, whose pre-show film featured a song titled, "En
