T-Rex Aquarium at Downtown Disney Ruptured Today

[Master Yoda]

Was this the tank just redone by ATM (Acrylic Tank Manufacturing) in Las Vegas the people from the show tanked?

The reefs were redone by the show Tank Kingdom on Nat Geo.

It was a question more in jest than anything. I saw it in 3D at the movies, too. As a kid that movie was like the worst the imagination could conjur. And I was a very imaginative kiddo! LOL!

Oh I knew you were joking, my yammering about the strength of the tunnel was just a general response.
That movie was just so terrible.

That's Rainforest Cafe, not T-Rex. I apologize in advance if you posted that in reference to a Rainforest Cafe remark that I missed.

Good thing nothing major happened from this, I'm just so releived all the fish were saved.

 

[NiarrNDisney]

Glad to hear no one was injured though I'm sure they were shaken up and maybe a bit wet!
I just hope the poor little fish are ok!

Oh Waiter...I didn't order the fresh fish special...

I knew IT!


CHECKMATE ATHEISTS! (I hope you guys get the joke lol)

 

[MOXOMUMD]

That's freaky, can you imagine if that happened in coral reef?

Don't want to think about it.

 

[Katydid8888]

This seems terrifying to me now.

Pretty sure that is very well fortified! But isn't that part of the fun anyway? I'm sure it is on most people's minds as they walk through it. Disney is pretty careful when it comes to the safety of their guests.

A couple of corrections and some info for the curious:

According to various sources, ATM (from the show 'Tanked') only redid the large tank at the bar.

Living Color (from the show 'Fish Tank Kings') did not do any tanks here; they did Rainforest Cafe at AK.

The tank that split seems to be the work of the Biscayne Group from TX:

Here's the YouTube version for those who just want to see the 10 seconds of gushing water from the tank...

I'd probably be taking my food with me as I am being evacuated.......Nothing stands between me and my food.

I'm glad the fish are okay!

 

[xdan0920]

typical TDO.

 

[note2001]

The fish knew something was wrong. You could almost see them saying "What the ... swim away!"

 

[mm121]

Who wants to bet t-rex and disney gets sued? LOL

T-rex isn't owned or operated by disney, its only on disney property.

How long till the shirts "I survived the great flood."

 

[LAKid53]

Did they find Nemo?

I thought this thread would have been flooded with puns by now. Guess these forums aren't quite cracked up to what I thought they ought to be.

Maybe the forums aren't cracked up, but that tank at T-Rex sure is

Maybe the forums aren't cracked up, but that tank at T-Rex sure is

its sad that things have tanked there!
Let's not crack more jokes related to the sweeping waters... innocent fish almost died there!
