Owners of the Royal Gorge Dinosaur Experience said their T-Rex truly blew his top Thursday.

“There was an unfortunate (and rare) electrical issue with our mighty T-Rex and he is no longer,” owner Zach Reynolds said in a statement Thursday. “You might even say … extinct.”

Reynolds and his wife, Carman, said they are incredibly proud of their team for the way they efficiently and quickly handled this situation and kept their guests safe.

“All in all, this happened very quickly and we are a little shaken, but we are operating business as mostly usual,” they said in the statement, adding that the big ropes course is closed but the smaller course for younger kids is open, as well as the Wild Walk and museum tours.

The Dinosaur Experience opened in July 2016 and features full-scale dinosaur fossil casts from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, ropes courses, a theater, café, a children’s learning center and a gift shop.
