Do You Still Have Drive-Ins In Your Town?

[koolmike]

They tore down the last one that was near me years ago. Was about a 15 mile drive to it. I miss them...was kinda nice hangin' in the car with your friends or a date and catchin' a new release.

[Dr. Awesome]

No unfortunately not. I've always wanted to watch a movie at a drive-in never got a chance. A friend of mine who lives in Wisconsin said there's a couple up there so I might take a visit there when I find some free time.

[Misfit]

no but from my window you can see the old screen:straightface:

[Leanne_777]

I don't know if we ever had drive ins in Ireland. But having said that, we only got cars in the 80s so maybe that has something to do with it.

[K.I.N.G]

I've seen a few drive-in movies years ago, I dunno if we still have them or not.

[Get Some]

not in my town, but where my dad lived a few years back there was one close by that still worked , but as for now i dk becuz he moved

[Joker]

Two that are close,one they let you bring in a small grill and a person has some freedom and the other one only shows a few movies a year and older movies like Back to the Future and they are very strict.

I have thought about asking the owners of the one that only show a few movies a year if they would ever rent it out,because I have this idea about having an all night horror marathon.

[BooBerry]

We have one in Vegas but I've never gone to it because it's in the ghetto and I don't want to get shot :nod:.

[Luris Blear]

None that I am aware of.

We do have the Alamo Draft House's Roving Road Show, which feels a lot like a drive-in sometimes. But no real drive-in.

My brother out in BFE Michigan has a great one.

lmao!!! i bout spit out my beer when i read that!
no drive ins here. they tried to refurbish one a couple of towns away from me but no one showed any interest in it and it never got finished. but i am told the speaker stands are still in the parking lot out there

[koolmike]

My uncle told me back in his day drive-ins were everywhere. It's a shame it's not like that anymore.

[JonDiamond]

They are a few here in East Tennessee. The closest being about 20-30min. from my house, which is in Chief_Falling_Rock's area. All of the ones withing a 50mile radius of me are all basically one company so they all have the same way of doing things. It's like $6 for a double feature and on occasion they do a triple feature or a "Dusk till Dawn" deal and that's usually $8. They don't allow you to bring a grill, but you can bring pretty much anything else as long as you don't have to cook it. lol But their concession stands are so awesome I don't see many people doing that. They actually have a website if anyone wants to check it out.

[koolmike]

nice JD

[ƦƎĎṖḀ†Ħ]

None that I know of.

Sad.

[Wrathborne]

Neine.

[JonnieBoi]

There's the Admiral Twin Drive-In here in Tulsa. I think there's one in OKC too. Not for sure. I like going sometimes, but it's around a lot of light so it's not the greatest experience. It's when you want to pay $7 to see two movies!

[slimeisacharacter]

20 minute drive and I'm at my favorite drive-in, even has a website saying whats showing to save me a trip. :bigthumbup:

[deathslasher666]

Yeah, there's one in my area. Never been to it, though. Truthfully, I don't think I'd be too big of a fan of going to one, though.

[skybrick]

I dont know of any in the Twin Cities.

[Miss.Jasmine]

there's 2 around me, ones like 10 minutes car ride the other one is a 25 minutes.

[Lemmywinks]

2 that I know of and they still do good business.

[JonDiamond]

Blue Moon Drive-Ins have 3 locations in TN and 1 in KY. Midtown, Maryville, and Sparta in TN and Tompkinsville in KY. I've only been to the one in Midtown since I live in Wartburg.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

no not that I think of around here... I remember my first Drive In movie though, I saw Gremlins! I saw that in New York When I lived there.

[Late For Reality]

There's a town in South Dakota that I go to all the time when I'm down there. They have a drive-in that plays all summer. They get like 1 movie every 5 days. And then they switch back to the regular theatre the other 3 seasons.

[Searcher]

None that I am aware of.

We do have the Alamo Draft House's Roving Road Show, which feels a lot like a drive-in sometimes. But no real drive-in.

My brother out in BFE Michigan has a great one.

They turned the SilverDome parking lot into one with 4 or 5 screens since the Lions left, but I've never been.

I worked at a drive-in when I was 17. Fun job.

[woodenheart]

I got one about 20 min away from me, in fact saw Hellboy 2 there, fun time

[SonOfSavini]

Yep, I've got a good one near by called Sky View. Probably the one near woodenheart. I've been there about 3 times so far this summer...love that place. $9.00 for a double feature and besides grills, you can bring whatever you want. It's nice loading up the car with friends and the cooler with beer and sit out in a lawn chair and relax.

So far I've seen :
Ironman / Drillbit Taylor
Indiana Jones / Speed Racer
Hellboy 2 / Wanted

[woodenheart]

Mr. Savini mine is The Cascade Drive Inn... in Dupage County

[Terrorsick]

I got 2 about 15-20 minutes away, but they play crap movies with bad sound
and picture. Not bad if you want to get loaded and sort of pay attention to the movie.:sotired:

Roger that.

[3/6]

ya theres one prolly like 6 miles from me, havent been there in a long time though...

[hackerslacker]

one down the street with like 4 screens and one in my home town with 1. the one in my hometown was on the verge of shutdown when another owner bought it.

[H78]

Yes, there's one about 2 miles down the road from where I grew up.

[xxsic4slipknotxx]

None in site. I know there are a few in upstate PA though, but too far away from me.

[choptop2]

There's at least three within 45 minutes of me. Only been to one and that was a long time ago.

[Galerian]

I wish they still had 'em here. They used to be way fun. I saw Hellraiser at the drive in when it first came out...awesome.

[GruesomeDuece]

They had one in Hattiesburg, MS where I went to college. I had plans to go to it one Sunday night, but then the Friday before I turned on the weather forecast and saw Hurricane Katrina coming at me, so I got the hell outta dodge. Sadly, the Beverly Drive-In didn't make it.

[ZION]

Koolmike, we should open one up that shows both current and classic flicks. If you choose the classic flicks we make it all retro depending on the era of the film but of coarse it would be all over priced.:D...But have one night special with throw back prices, you down? We can call it KoolZ's Drive In?

[slimeisacharacter]

Drive-ins are rarely a "I wanted to watch a movie" experience, thats what regular theatres are for. You go to drive-ins for the other experiences.

[kjmac]

Yes, there's one about 20 minutes away :nod:

This one is up just a little bit north of Croswell.

that sounds fuckin great.....i only get to dream :sadwalk:

[JeNnYFuR]

I can vaguely remember going to the drive-in movie when I was about three years old. This was in 1986-87. It was torn down shortly afterward.
