  Universe of Energy video download

• Disney legend Bob Gurr takes you back to the witness the
  creation of the EPCOT attraction, Universe of Energy
  
  The original Universe of Energy pavilion itself was an innovation in energy technology, as the entire roof was covered in photovoltaic solar panels that partially powered the ride vehicles. Visitors were transported through the pavilion in large battery-powered "traveling theatre cars" that followed guide-wires embedded in the floor as opposed to riding along conventional ride tracks. The original attraction featured numerous films that presented information on the subject of energy in a serious fashion as well as a ride through a primeval diorama complete with animatronic dinosaurs.
• * Pre-show Theatre Film (audience standing) - The original pre-show featured a unique eight minute film presentation known as the "Kinetic Mosaic," which was invented by Czech film director Emil Radok (see link below for video). The mosaic screen consisted of 100 rotating prism-shaped flip screens (reminiscent of those on the classic game show Concentration), arranged in a twenty five wide by four high array. These flip screens rotated under computer control and were synchronized to a live-action motion picture that was projected onto their surface. Each flip screen contained three sides with white projection surfaces on two sides and a matte black surface on the third. The combination of the film and the screens' rotation created undulating, sometimes three-dimensional-appearing images. During the conclusion of the pre-show, the song "Energy (You Make The World Go ‘Round)" was played.
  * Theatre I Film (audience seated) – Upon entering the theatre, guests were seated in one of six seating areas. Here, they viewed a four minute hand-animated film that depicted the beginnings of life on earth and the formation of fossil fuels.
  * Primeval Diorama (audience seated) - At the conclusion of the film, the entire theatre seating area moved into the primeval diorama. Here, the theatre seating broke up into six multi-passenger vehicles that took guests on a five minute journey through the diorama, which was populated by numerous animatronic dinosaurs and even featured an erupting volcano.
  * Theatre II Film (audience seated) - Leaving the diorama, the vehicles entered the EPCOT Energy Information Center where they reassembled back into their original theatre seating formation. Here, guests viewed a twelve minute live-action film that took them on an in-depth look at various current and future energy resources around the world.
  * Theatre I Finale Film (audience seated) - At the conclusion of the film, the entire seating area moved back into Theatre I where guests viewed a two minute computer-animated film of laser-like images that were reflected off of mirrored walls within the theatre. The film was accompanied by an upbeat song entitled, "Universe of Energy."
