Museums can be a shorthand for truth, or for history, or for what a culture values. Disney theme parks all around the world use fake museums as a tool to immerse visitors in the themed environment. This detailed world-building can make the imaginary universe more real—or provide a setup to subvert a narrative. But these fake museums aren’t the only ways the Disney theme parks present history to visitors. Public experience advocate Shaelyn Amaio describes how the parks “traffic in the past.” By removing references to the present or a future with consequences, parks like Disneyland free the visitor from responsibility for what happened in history. Since the opening of Disneyland in 1955, there have been several iterations of Disney theme parks, each reflecting the way we think about knowledge and history in the times they were built. In this episode, Amaio describes examples of fake museums in Disney theme parks, details how corporate-sponsored edutainment can reflect the public's anxiety, and explains why EPCOT has the most museum-like spaces at Disney theme parks.

This episode we are going to say goodbye to a recently extinct attraction, Ellen’s Energy Adventure at the Universe of Energy Pavilion at EPCOT at Walt Disney World. EPCOT’s guide map described the attraction in the following way: Take a multimedia romp through time and Ellen DeGeneres’ subconscious at Universe of Energy. There were no age or height requirements for this attraction. Before we take one last ride, let’s zap through five fast facts about on Ellen’s Energy Adventure. 1. Ellen’s Energy Adventure was located in the Universe of Energy Pavilion in EPCOT’S Future World East. The pavilion opened with the park on October 1, 1982.The original attraction operated until January 21, 1996 when it was closed to make way for the updated attraction, Ellen’s Energy Adventure which opened officially on September 15, 1996. When the new version of the attraction opened, it included an audio animatronic of Ellen herself that was seen fighting off a dinosaur with a tree branch. After November 2014, the audio animatronic stopped working and was removed never to be replaced. 2. When the attraction opened originally it was announced that the pavilion’s roof was covered in 80,000 photovoltaic cells that partially powered the moving theatre seat ride vehicles in the attraction. These traveling theatre cars followed guide wire in the floor instead of conventional tracks and each of the six ride vehicles could hold up to 80 people. 3. The ride had a running time of a whopping 45 minutes from start to finish! Hosts would often repeatedly remind guests that once they boarded the traveling theatre seats, there was no exiting the attraction until it was completed. 4. The music for Ellen’s Energy Adventure was composed by Emmy Winner Bruce Broghton who has composed music for other EPCOT attractions such as Spaceship Earth, O’ Canada and Soarin’ Around the World. 5. Ellen’s Energy Adventure had it’s final day of operation on August 13, 2017. This is when the audio for this episode was recorded. Luckily it wasn’t recorded on the final ride of the day because the attraction broke down on it’s final ride and guests had walk out of the ride on foot. Now it’s time to take one last ride on Ellen’s Energy Adventure. Along for this final journey is my friend John B. deHaas and after we ride we’ll discuss our thoughts on this, now extinct, attraction. This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we experience EPCOT’S Ellen’s Energy Adventure.

Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen. Our names are Alison, Laura, and Andrew and on behalf of Exxon, Deepwater Horizon, Pete's O's, and Disney Philharpodcast, we would like to welcome you to the Universe of Energy. Our main show will begin approximately four days late because the airline lost Alison's luggage over the weekend. In this episode, we invite you to enjoy a unique discussion about the many facets of the Universe of Energy, which will be presented in an almost incoherent fashion as we gush over the 100 most beautiful rotating screens you have ever seen, Fern Gully, astronaut diapers, and Ellen's aggressive collared shirt. **For your own safety, we warn you there are multiple drug references in this episode, a crazy person drinking FourLoko, the most bizarre 90's movie references you have ever heard and ask those of you not willing to hear 17 A League of their Own quotes to stand and remain standing throughout the entire pre-show (pretend you are in the Canada circle vision, no leaning!) The laser lights will be dimming and there will be guests continuing to enter the theater who may not see those of you seated on the floor, because, I mean, who doesn't love sitting on the floor in long, dark attractions? At the conclusion of this presentation, you will be questioning what might be wrong with these people and how you have suffered through this nonsense for approximately an hour and fifty-three minutes. Thank you. @disphilharpod @disneyphilharpodcast
