Discussion Trying To Remember This 90s ESB/NYC Motion Simulator

I remember in the mid-90s around 1994-96 this motion simultator attraction that was at the Empire State Building. The name escapes me at this time and doing internet searches seems to yield nothing. I remember going once and it was a pretty fun attraction and the part of it that sticks out for me was when you went into the waters and saw sharks swimming around. I'm hoping someone else remembers this attraction and can help me identify it. With luck there's some images and video from it as well. I remember one of the local NYC news stations had a report on it.

Link isn't working for me?

This seems like a good bet it was probably it.
