Nye’s Science Guy personality appears alongside Ellen DeGeneres and Alex Trebek in a video at Ellen’s Energy Adventure, an attraction that has been playing since 1996 at the Universe of Energy pavilion inside Epcot at Walt Disney World.
His voice is heard in the Dinosaur attraction in Disney’s Animal Kingdom park, teaching guests about the dinosaurs while they queue for the ride.
He appears in video form in the “Design Lab” of CyberSpace Mountain, inside DisneyQuest at Walt Disney World, where he refers to himself as “Bill Nye the Coaster Guy.”
His Science Guy persona was also the on-air spokesman for the Noggin television network in 1999.
Nye remained interested in science education through entertainment. He played a science teacher in Disney’s 1998 TV movie “The Principal Takes a Holiday” where he made a hovercraft to demonstrate science in an unusual classroom manner.
From 2000 to 2002, Nye was the technical expert in “BattleBots.” In 2004 and 2005, Nye hosted “100 Greatest Discoveries,” an award-winning series produced by THINKFilm for The Science Channel and in high definition on the Discovery HD Theater.
He was also the host of an eight-part Discovery Channel series called “Greatest Inventions with Bill Nye.” He created a 13-episode PBS KCTS-TV series about science, called “The Eyes of Nye,” aimed at an older audience.
