In desperate need of renovation, but this place still manages to function. The bathrooms are gross and concessions are a joke. Bring your own stash of junk food from a convenience store and you're good. You can sit outside of your car in lawn chairs, you can sit inside your car facing forwards, you can face backwards and sit in the back of your hatchback or SUV and lay down. It's a different experience than going to a regular theater.
It sucks in the summer - obviously. The lots are pretty dusty, so expect your car to get a little dusty. You can sneak people in under a blanket in the back seat and not have to pay if you're a cheapass... They give you radio stations to tune to instead of a little box to hang on your window like they used to back in the day.
If something doesn't work, they give you a refund. If your battery dies, they give you a jump. You can see a double feature - an older movie (from a month or so ago) and a newer one (brand new release within the last few weeks). They sometimes have two showings, so you can go see two, then drive to a different lot and see two more - if you plan it right. I've done that before... it's a lot of movies, but sometimes you just haven't had enough time to roll around in the back of your station wagon making out with that chick...
It's fun and something everyone should do at least once. Make a group thing of it and bring some weed or beer or other booze and drugs. Bring a hooker - everything goes. Keep in mind, sometimes people bring kids and people will smoke in their cars near you. People also will bring dogs and let them roam around sometimes.
