| Is
the drive-in closing? Did you sell the drive-in? Is the drive-in
property going to become the world's biggest Quizno's with
seating for 6,300 and eleventeen-foot subs? How will they even fit that in the toaster? |
|
No, no, no, and...uh...no. The drive-in has not been sold, and the drive-in
has no intention of closing. Property adjacent to the drive-in, which we
do not own, is being developed. But we're still here, and have every
intention of being here for years to come. We welcome our new neighbors and thank them for keeping the ambient light to a minimum.
If you would like to receive future updates on development around the drive-in, join
our Development e-mail list here. |
|
| What
do you charge for admission? |
| Admission to the drive-in is
$8.00 per adult, $5.00 per child ages 6-11, and free for children under 6.
For cars with a single occupant, the entry fee is $12.00. |
|
| Do
you accept checks or credit cards? |
| No.
All theatres are cash only. We have no ATM machines at the theatres. |
|
| Do
I get a discount when a single movie plays, or when I only show up to watch one
of the two features? |
|
Admission is the same for all evening programs, regardless of length or
number of movies we show or you choose to see.
|
|
| Should
I show up early, or does nobody actually go to the drive-in anymore? |
| We
often sell out Friday and Saturday nights during the peak summer
months, as much as an hour before the show starts. Sunday
crowds are lighter. Please don't yell at our ticket
seller. It's not her fault people showed up before you. |
|
| Can't
you just kick somebody out who already paid to make room for me? |
| Um...no. |
|
| Can
I send my kids/spouse/mother-in-law/probation officer/Aunt Bobbi Jo inside to
watch the movies at the Twin while I enjoy the drive-in program? |
| Sure,
but they must pay the separate admission (Adults $5.00, 11 and under accompanied
by adult, $4.00) |
|
| Does
Newberg have businesses I can stop at before the show for batteries, cigarettes,
or other items I deem necessary, before arriving at the theatre?
|
|
Yes.
Fred Meyer
is just to the East.
Safeway
is just to the Northeast.
Several convenience stores populate Highway 99W coming from both
directions. Make your stop before coming to the theatre. You cannot
exit the theatre once you've paid admission. |
|
| Are
there restrictions on the number of cases of beer I can bring on the property? |
| Yes.
You can't bring ANY alcoholic beverages (or glass bottles) onto the property. |
|
| My
car has Daytime Running Lights that I can't defeat, so "Lights Out" is
impossible for me. What should I do? |
| Find
a spot, go directly to it, park, shut off your car, and don't turn it on again
until after the show. If your car radio won't function without the car
being turned on, bring a portable radio. |
|
| Are
there restrictions on the size of vehicle I can bring? |
| Our
ticket window has a roof cars must pass under with a clearance of 8 ft.
Vehicles taller than 8 ft will be too tall to enter the drive-in.
Unusually long vehicles, such as a stretch limo, would not fit a standard
parking spot (and have a really lousy view of the screen from the back anyway.) |
|
| Can
I park wherever I want? |
| You
may park in any designated parking spot, head-in.
Do not park in any manner that would take up more than one designated
parking spot or block the view of the space behind you, regardless of whether it
is occupied when you arrive or not (somebody will likely fill that spot later).
In the event of a situation where a car in front is blocking the view of the
film of a car behind, the car in front must switch places with the car behind or
move somewhere else so the ones behind can see. This applies even if the higher
vehicle arrived first so always check with the cars behind to make sure everyone
can see the screen. Ultimately, Management will make the final decision. |
|
| How
do you define “designated parking spot”?
|
| The
lot has several poles, once used for in-car speakers.
Designated parking spots are to the left and to the right of each pole on
the ramps. Two spaces are available
between each pole. |
|
| Can
I back into a space and sit in the back of my vehicle? |
| This
may be done as long as it does not interfere with the view of the movie with any
cars behind you. Lift backs, for example must always be tied down no
higher than the top of your vehicle. You may not sit on the roof your
vehicle, both for safety and for reasons of blocking the view for others
behind. |
|
| I
am a being from another planet and my flying saucer is too large for a
designated parking spot. Can I just park on the Twin/snack bar roof? |
| No, but you can hover
above it as long as you can pull that off silently and it does not disturb other
patrons. |
|
| I
have friends arriving later. Can I
reserve a spot next to mine for them? |
| No.
Every parking spot is first-come, first serve. The best option you
have here is to either all come together in the same vehicle, or come on Sunday
when crowds are smaller and we're less likely to sell out. |
|
| Can
I sit in lawn chairs in front of my car or elsewhere on the lot? |
| Lawn
chairs are generally permitted only in front of your vehicle as every space that
can park a car will be utilized for that purpose. Lying on the field on sleeping
bags or blankets is strictly prohibited. |
|
| Can
I use a barbecue on the drive-in lot?
|
| No
barbecues of any kind, and no open fires. |
|
| Can
I bring my dog/cat/ferret/elephant?
|
| Yes, as long as the animal is harmless to the
customers and our operation. You must keep your animal secured to your vehicle/parking space.
You are responsible for cleaning/removing any waste left by your
animal. You will be solely responsible for damage
caused by your animal to the drive-in, yourself, other drive-in patrons or
property. Management reserves the right to refuse any
animal (including human) admission. Elephants and other larger animals
will be charged a single-occupant car admission due to the fact they would take
up a car space by themselves. NOTE TO ELEPHANTS AND GIRAFFES: Our ticket window height clearance is 8 ft. |
|
| I
have a 2,000-watt car/portable stereo with dual 18-inch subwoofers, twelve
mid-range speakers, six cleverly-placed tweeters, and a spiffy faceplate that
changes colors depending on my mood. Are
there restrictions on my use of my stereo, like for example the volume? |
| Volume
is restricted based on complaints. In
the event of complaints, the sound must be turned down. Also, we only
allow patrons to listen to our station while on the property (including before
and after the show). Again, it's always
good to check with your neighbors on this sort of thing before they might complain
to us. |
|
| How
late is the snack bar open? |
| The
snack bar closes about 10 minutes into the second feature after the 15 minute
in-between show intermission presentation.. A "LAST CALL TO VISIT THE SNACK
BAR " will be announced as a reminder of this fact. |
|
| Can
I spend the night on the lot after the show ends? |
| No.
All vehicles must leave the theatre immediately after the show ends. |
|
| Do
you remember 8-tracks? Those were awesome. |
| No
they weren't. |
|
| My
car battery is dead and I can’t get anybody to jump start me.
Will I have to push it all the way back to Hazel Dell? |
| Well…at
least off of our lot. |
|
| I
am a talentless drive-in owner without a clue who wants to steal
parts of your FAQ page for my own website. Can I do that? |
| No.
But you probably will anyway. Loser. |
|
| Does
the drive-in assume any liability for my complete and utter lack of common sense
and/or the fact that I am an idiot doing stupid things? |
| No. |
|
| I'd
like to book an event for my car club. How do I do so? |
| See
our "Events" page for
getting your event on our calendar and arranging a possible early arrival.
Or just show up. Standard admission applies. There are no additional
fees. |
|
| Why
don't you run some of the great classic movies such as "Grease" or "Sons
of Provo"? |
| We
occasionally do! See our "Events"
page for
upcoming listings. We also run some
classic drive-in trailers during our intermission program. |
