Before She Became Famous: Ellen DeGeneres on Her ‘90s Sitcom

Ellen’s Subconscious

In the late 1980s, Ellen starred in Ellen’s Energy Adventure. This was a series of films that were part of the Universe of Energy pavilion at Walt Disney World. She starred alongside Bill Nye, Alex Trebek, Michael Richards, and Jamie Lee Curtis. There was also a ride at the park based on the films, which would take you on a 45-minute ride through her subconscious.

It started with Ellen falling asleep to an episode of Jeopardy! and took you through her dream of being a contestant on the show. Bill Nye, who was also featured on this ride, brought an educational aspect to it, focusing on dinosaurs and fossils. The ride opened up in 1996, and her superfans enjoyed it until 2017.
