Drive In Cinema

[B00]

Anyone been to one? I'm going tonight, and really looking forward to it :-)

[SlackAlice]

Oh? Steamed up windows methinks? ☺☺☺

[cupid04]

Wasn't aware we had any in the UK!

[bednobs]

like in Grease?
Are you going to make out in the car?

[jno]

never... I thought they were invented for American teenagers with cars with bench seats for necking on

[B00]

Nope Slack, certainly not, we're married to each other!

Aye Cupid, there are!

And again bednobs, don't be silly, it's not his birthday!

They were going to build one near where i grew up but it fell through and became a retail park instead. Probably more profitable.

I don't think the surroundings are particularly plush, and where are the toilets ? Can one get a Fred Flintstone Dinosaurs Ribs snack whilst there ?

Our local commercial radio station did this once - they projected the film onto the side of the building i work in, which is adjacent to a huge car park. The played the soundtrack on the radio station, and everyone tuned in.

I didn't go, but they never did it again, so it can't have been that much of a success.

Drive-ins are for US states with virtually assured warm evenings - not the UK where it can rain in any ten minute period.

It's just not in our culture - but still, have a great time, it's something new to try.

they did cinema in the park here, showed the rocky horror one night and mama mia the next. luckily it was when we had that heatwave, i didn;t go but apparently it was very good

[mccfluff]

I used to go quite regularly when I lived in Australia but that was in my teens around 50 years ago.
I understand they have one at Audley End near Saffron Walden, Essex, occasionally.

[sherrardk]

Round here if you really want excitement, you can go to 'Flicks in the sticks' - where they show a DVD in the village hall and stop half-way through for refreshments.

[parkie]

Man, that's living, sherrardk.

I keep seeing posters for one near me and thought about checking it out! I look forward to your feedback.

I've been to loads of outdoor cinemas,with bats flying across the screen and they stop half way to allow you to get sustenance and a fresh beer. I did go to an uber posh one where they had waiters who would (virtually) crawl on their bellies to serve you food and drink through the film and bring you a blanket if you felt a chill.....wasn't so keen on that one.

3 Fs? I suppose as Boo is married.....'Find' and 'Forget' are redundant! ;-)
