[DML] BTTF Ride..

[Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Wow Tom, Thanks for sharing that information with us. 
Very interesting.

I see you calculated the per-frame cost of the movie,
but I am wondering what the cost-per-view is compared
to Titanic (for example).  With 3 BTTF rides running
all day every day, I suspect that movie has been
watched more times than Titanic.
