A life-size animatronic Tyrannosaurus Rex at a Colorado dinosaur theme park went down in flames yesterday. Zach Reynolds, co-owner of Royal Gorge Dinosaur Experience, says it was probably caused by an electrical malfunction.

Although the 24-foot-tall T-Rex is a big loss to the park, Reynold's had a sense of humor about it when he joked, "We knew he had a temper, but today he blew his top." He added, "it made for some spectacular imagery along the way."

The good sport hopes a new dinosaur will take its place by this summer.
