The have a concessiona area, but the "drive-in" is right next to the "food court" where they sell the pizza's and the more expensive food, so it is really an area for eating, so most people don't clambor for seats, although kids do hang out there :-) > Do you run with the lights down? No, but the area is "darker" than the rest of the lobby, probably for screen visability... > Do you think a full auditorium showing

At our theatre, our draw is mostly kids/teenagers/college crowd, and I don't know that they would be in to it. Although, it would certainly be interesting! > Is your theatre the only one with

they built it into the lobby for nostalgic reasons :-) -Jeff

Very cool indoor drive-in setup indeed!! I'd like to know more about the "seating". The cars (or portions of them)... are they the real things, or a fiberglass mock-up specialty type seating? If a specialty type themed seat arrangement, who's the manufacturer? These things would really make a great condiment stand for a drive-in , if re-worked properly.

Hi,As Aaron said, I'm sure these cars are mock-ups, I will try and find out the manufacturer, and maybe get you some closer-up pictures of the dashboard and seats. As for the movies, they are real 35mm films on a real screen (as seen in the pictures) and the speakers are drive-in speakers tied into the audio system and do work. -Jeff
