| - I went to see a double feature (The Hangover II and Bridesmaids) last night (Saturday, 6/11/11 with movie starting at 8:55 pm) for $6.50. You cannot beat that price anywhere!
I think this place is really great. With the exception of a few tail lights distracting my view, I didn't have to worry about anyone texting or calling during my movie and ruining my experience. (I'm a big fan of Alamo Drafthouse's anti-texting PSA found here: http://cf.drafthouse.com/she_texted_we_kicked_her_out2.html) I got to sit in my car with the windows rolled down (lovely Arizona night air), to eat my snacks and drink my Dr Pepper, and to listen to the movie on my headphones.
A few notes:
1) If you forget to bring your own snacks or you run out of snacks during the double feature, then you can go to the concession stand. (A bottle of water was $2.25, not bad for a movie concession stand price.)
2) Bring chairs and blankets to sit outside. Not that I don't love Carl the Prius, but the night air is great here. A ton of people were sitting in the beds of their trucks and even tailgating during the movie. Very fun!
3) Your car battery might die during the double feature. The car next to me had to get a jump during the last 30 minutes of the second movie. And Carl the Prius hated running his engine for the AC, so I turned off my car about 20 minutes into the first movie and just rolled down the windows. I might also suggest bringing your old walkman or stereo (battery-powered) and using that to tune-in to the film station. Everyone is watching the same film, so it's not like you are going to disturb other moviegoers with your loud stereo.
4) Saturday nights are busy! I got to the driveway at 8:20 for an 8:55 showing and we should have gotten here long before that. I say show up about an hour to an hour fifteen before your film, so you can buy your tickets without sitting in a slow moving stream of cars and so you can get a good place in front of the screen.
5) This is a CASH ONLY place. I went to the website and I didn't see any indication that this place was cash only. Thank goodness I read the Yelp reviews.
6) If you want to leave after the first film, you can! A ton of cars left between The Hangover II and Bridesmaids and the theatre gave everyone a "dead period" of about 20 minutes to leave, get snacks, use the bathroom, etc.
All in all, I am coming back. I loves the prices and I love the drive-in experience. Plus, it's a great date for under $20!
