Video of Life Size T-Rex Engulfed in Flames is Tragic But Pretty Badass

You ain’t got nothing on this, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

The main attractions at the Royal Gorge Dinosaur Experience in Canon City, Colorado, a museum and activity center, are massive, life-sized dinosaur models, allowing guests to take selfies with prehistoric giants. It’s home to 16 different life-sized, skinned, animatronic dinosaurs… well, 15 now that a T-Rex tragically lost his life this week.

During business hours yesterday, March 22nd, the Dinosaur Experience’s towering Tyrannosaurus Rex burst into flames due to an “unfortunate and rare electrical issue,” which eventually melted away all of the faux skin and reduced the T-Rex to a metal skeleton. As tragic as it was, the flaming T-Rex was a pretty badass sight to behold.

Thankfully, no one was injured in the accident, and Royal Gorge is already working on bringing in a replacement T-Rex. They’re also in jovial spirits, despite the mishap.

They posted over on Facebook yesterday, “Holy smokes! We always knew T-Rex had a temper but, today he blew his top. There was an unfortunate (and rare) electrical issue with our mighty T-Rex and he is no longer. You might even say… extinct. We are incredibly proud of our team for the way they efficiently and quickly handled this situation and kept our guests safe. All in all, this happened very quickly and we are a little shaken but we are operating business as mostly usual.”

We hope to have a new T-Rex as soon as possible!” they added.
