| - During my last couple of hours on my random trip to Arizona, I had attended two Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Francisco Giants Game (Don't ask me why I attended this non-Dodger game), I was curious if Arizona had a drive-in theatre. With the help of Yelp, I found the WestWind Glendale 9 Drive-In Theatre.
It was about 630pm when I used my Yelp App to find the WestWind Glendale 9 Drive-In Theatre. It was still bright outside, but the place was already open. I was one of the few people already entering in. I was greeted by one of the staff. Since I was the only person in the large vehicle, the lady didn't bother to inspect my truck for any other people unlike other locations. Admission is $6.75 per person. The lady told me a lot of people drive across Arizona to come to visit this drive-In theatre.
This location is near an industrial area and railroad tracks, but not close to the movie theatre. During the weekends at noon, WestWind also serves as a Swap Meet. I wish I was there to experience that like my younger days. I saw some pamphlets that there are some concerts at the WestWind. With a huge lot, I wonder if this location host an event like Coachella!
Since I've seen most of the movies already, I just wanted to experience the drive-in theatre. I watched, "The World's End" and "Two Guns" at Theatre 9. When I parked my truck, I parked it as I would park between the lanes while the other cars parked wherever. I think I may have blocked some views and spaces, but I was far away. Sorry! The quality of the sound and picture was OUTSTANDING! It was like I was at the movie theatre, but in my truck. With all the other people's radio out loud, the sound was spectacular and echoed throughout the lot. I wish I had my Dodger lawn chair and sit in front of my truck.
While you wait for the 1st or next movie, you can head to concession area and grab some popcorn, drinks or ice cream. I grabbed a King Cone Ice Cream ($6.95) since it was really hot and it definitely hit the spot. I miss going to the concession stands, but do be careful when you walk during the dark. You might step on trash and slip. There are plenty of trash can bins and still don't understand why there are tons of trash.
I have visited a couple of California's, Georgia's, and now Arizona's Drive-In Theatre. I think this is one of my new list to do in my life. If I see a drive-in theatre, then it is a must to do. I wish there were more these days. Just going to one of these drive-in theatre is a lot of fun and much more enjoyable than a modern movie theatre.
