History
Overview: The Universe of Energy was an original Epcot opening day pavilion that (as you might expect) devoted itself to energy, starting with an overview, talking about fossil fuels, and then moved on to renewable resources. It was one of Disney’s longest (time wise) rides, lasting around 45 minutes. I talk you through the history and we go on a ride through the attraction.
Notes: The song was catchy and memorable. The concept was clever. It really was edutainment. And what's not to love about the dinosaur diorama. That was worth seeing every time!
In the podcast, I mention the outside mural; this site better articulates what the mural is and includes some pictures: http://www.jlhomnimedia.com/energy-mural/
Mickey and Goofy become corporate shills! Check out this site which talks about the comic book that Exxon created: https://paleofuture.gizmodo.com/that-time-mickey-mouse-and-goofy-shilled-for-exxon-at-d-1391922492
Thanks to Nicholas for pointing out the whole comic can be found here:https://starport75.com/2010/11/11/mickey-and-goofy-explore-the-universe-of-energy-1985/
