Ellen’s Energy Adventure at the Universe of Energy is rumored to be closing. While this has
been circulating since the summer, there has been no substantiation by Disney. A Guardians
of the Galaxy attraction is rumored to be the replacement. While it seems likely that Ellen’s
could be given the ax, the Marvel contract that Universal has might prevent Guardians from
being the replacement.
