- Has the Lone Ranger passed $12 million yet? -- nm - Ender Jul 10, 11:29 1
  - It actually *lost* 0.5 million on Tuesday. - Spawn Jul 10, 11:31
- We added to that total. Good, but not like the 1st -- nm - oblique Jul 10, 11:24
- where will Monster's U end up? -- nm - Don Homer Jul 10, 11:21 4
  - Unless it recovers amazingly, 4th behind Despicable Me 2, Iron Man 3 and Man of Steel. -- nm - Inigo Jul 10, 11:25 3

      - No shot now. -- nm - David Jul 10, 11:29
      - $280 or $290, I think. -- nm - Inigo Jul 10, 11:29

- Seriously, what did you think of Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster? -- nm - David Jul 10, 11:18 17
  - We didn't get to Millennium Force (*shame*) b/c of rain keeping closed most of the day. TTD was *incredible* - oblique Jul 10, 11:20 13

        Did you ride Raptor, the ski lift one? I loooooove it. -- nm - David Jul 10, 11:33
      - 40 stories! But really, I was more freaked by the 240ft Power Tower ride up and drop than TTD. TTD was over so fast you hardly had time to judge the - oblique Jul 10, 11:23 3
        
        The twist on the way down is what I love. -- nm - David Jul 10, 11:24

- Watched Blackout Part 1 last night! -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 11:17 1
  - I seriously almost texted your wife last night (I don't have your number) to curse you because my HBOGo was broken on my ATV. "please try again later" -- nm - amanda Jul 10, 11:37
