> 10-minute elevator ride through the tank

That's 1.4 meters per minute, or ~2.3 centimeters per second. The aquarium and the fish in it must have been marvelous to watch, because otherwise even imagining being stuck in an elevator moving at this pace feels terrifyingly boring to think about.

You've never sat on a bench for 10 minutes to look at something neat? They move even slower.
It's a tourist attraction as part of the aquarium, not a tool to get from A to B; the hotel had its own regular elevator.
Yeah it was quite nice. They’d feed the fish too and they’d all scramble for it.
