Aquarium Breaks at T-Rex in Downtown Disney Orlando

Did anybody hear about this yesterday?

A large aquarium suddenly burst yesterday at the popular Downtown Disney Orlando restaurant, T-Rex. Much thanks to our friends at the EdgesOfTheEarth blog who were there to record a quick video. We contacted the restaurant for more information and were told they could not comment. However, we prodded to ask about the health of the fish and were told they were transferred to other tanks.

I go there all the time and their tanks are gorgeous. Too bad to hear this happen. I'm just curious as to why it would just burst like that.

 

i see a future episode of tanked coming in fl soon, considering they just opened a office in fl somewhere.

im glad to hear the fish were ok and transferred to another tank.

 

wow crazy.. and that sucks

 

Actually, Living Color (AKA "Fish Tank Kings") was the company that built this tank.

I talked to some of the workers of ATM at MACNA and they said they were setting up shop in Miami

 

Came apart at the seam. Too bad.

 

thats what i was thinking, the seam grew weak over time and just had to burst then, atleast it happened during the day so they didnt come in the morning and all the fish are dead

 

Someone's gonna be pissed.

 

It's funny because I remember watching an episode of fish tank kings and they were making a cylinder tank that they had to re-glue the seam on. I wonder if this is the same tank that they had an episode building.
