How do we hear the movies in our vehicle?

Both will be returned to you when you return the radio. If the Concession Stand is closed, please return the radio to the Projection Booth located to the right of the men’s bathroom.

Can we leave our engine running during the show?

We would like the drive-in experience to be a pleasant one for all of our customers, so it is preferred
that your vehicle’s engine remain off during the show for the convenience of those patrons around
you. It is understandable if you need to run your engine intermittently during the show for air
conditioning, heat, wipers, etc. Please remember to keep your headlights off.

What if our vehicle’s battery dies?

should not drain. However, if your battery does drain, we can assist you in getting your vehicle started.

Can we back our vehicle into the parking space?

Yes

Can we leave the hatchback open?

Yes, but please tie the hatchback down so it is level with the roof of your vehicle so anyone parked
behind you can see over your hatchback. For your convenience, we offer string to tie down your
hatchback if you do not have any with you. Please inquire at the Projection Booth.

Can we get to the drive-in early and save a parking space for our friends who will arrive later?
