I've never been to a drive-in, but since moving here, I'm only a 5 minute drive from the teepee. Really looking forward to the grand re-opening.

That was a GOOD time to be young! It will be intresting to see how this works, it's the only one except the Admiral Twin, that I know of. Tying this into Route 66, will help I'm sure, we are getting more Route 66 attractions in the Tulsa area all the time, and I hope this fits right in with all of that!

Getting dark so late is hard on Drive in theaters I'm sure? plus that extra hour of sun light is burning up my garden!!

I hope they have a lot of success with it. There used to be a bunch around OKC when I was a teen.

The last time my HS buddies and I went to drive-in theater, I had a Jeep CJ-5. We left the top at home, and once at the theater, we folded down the windshield and had an uninterrupted view of the screen. Had a good time.

I really enjoyed drive-ins in the 60s/70s. Took the family to the one in Guthrie a couple of decades ago and did not care for the lack of consideration shown for others by several there at that time.

I hope this one does well and others open/re-open. I would prefer to see the old movies. Not willing to pay to see the current first-run junk.

I agree, they should go with the old movies...

My wife and I spent a few nights at the Winchester drive in off 240 during the covid scare watching old movies. We always had fun, but I don't think I want to see a new movie there. Or at least not one that has a lot of high end graphics that it relies on.
