Wow, that's an award winning lineup!
Add one of those central drive-in double cheeseburgers and it's a great night all around [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
I'd go just for the cheeseburger....wouldn't have to have a movie.
chili cheesburger
corn nuggets
apple sticks
'nuff said
you forgot Toilet paper, flashlight, and waders for an hour after ya eat that..lol
Ah,the food at work makes a man's gut turn to iron. Nothing phases me [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]
I do wish they'd light the trail to the pee parlor a little better,as well as fix the steps. It always feels like you are trapped in a video game with all the jumping that you have to do over the rubble.
Man, I haven't had fried apple sticks in a long time. Some vanilla ice cream and fried apple sticks. MMMMMMMM>
Those are some dang good apple sticks too.

I remember when going to the drive-in was a weekly affair for me. A few of us would lock down the last row and have a good time [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
They actually started putting trash cans up because of us about 5 years ago. Many of beers, Chilli-Cheese fries, and jalapeno poppers have been consumed at the Central Drive-In.

I love the Drive-In. Talk about a good time for the whole family...and their food is sooo good. There are few things better than sitting out under the stars on a warm night with your family enjoying a good movie and eating jalapeno poppers and popcorn...lol!

The audio sucks.
I remember when you used to have the speakers that you hooked on your window. Last time we went, we just tuned it to the radio.
I think tinseltown and all that surround sound has spoiled us a little...definetly different from that, lol, but still a good time.
Yeah we just tune it to the radio too.
For $6 I'm not expecting state of the art movie viewing perfection... it's all about the drive-in experience and the food!
amen!

How many old timers on here have ever driven off with you speaker still hanging on your window? I've been guilty of that.
HaHa, Who Hasn't!
My mom loves to tell us the story of how when she and my Dad were dating back in the 60s she let him talk her into driving his car into the drive-in while he and his buddy hid in the trunk, trying to get in without paying. She said she and the other guy's date were scared to death they were gonna get caught. When she went to open the trunk and let them out she got so nervous and was in such a hurry she broke the key off in the trunk and my dad and his buddy were stuck. There was alot of panic for a few minutes and then they mangaed to kick the back seat out or something and get out, lol. Apparently that was a big prank back in their day, hiding in the trunk to get out of paying. I don't think they tried it anymore after that....my kids know the story and they get so annoyed when we start through the entrance and my husband or I say, "quick get in the back and hide"...

Why do you think they went to the radios? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img] Everybody has one of those in their past.

Not when I used to go, it sounded better than a movie theatre. Put a couple of grand in your ride and you can take care of that. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
Coming through my speakers it sounds pretty damn good.
Plus you've got control over the audio. I hate going to the theater and during action scenes you have to cover your ears. I'm one of those persons who doesn't appreciate leaving the theater with ringing ears. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]
But don't forget the toilet paper & hand sanitizer when you go to the Drive-In. It seems like no matter when you go to the bathroom, there's no paper and I'm not about to touch a bar of soap in a public bathroom.
I guess I just can't be happy with everything.
I'll either have the windows down and I can't hear it, so I'll turn on the radio. Then I'll be hearing double and that will mess with me, so I'll roll the windows up so I can actually hear the movie but then it will get too hot. And I'm not trying to waste any gas sitting there with my AC on for an entire movie.
WHAT'S on this weekend?
