On the big OUTDOOR screen before the movie started, the theater had information about the number of DRIVE In movie theaters during the height of this niche in the movie industry. I didnt find any research about the amount but they said there was at one time over 4,300 drive ins; however, today there are only 400. I guess we are priviliged to partake in this outdoor theater experience!
The first one was located in Camden, New Jersey in 1933. The price of admission was 25 cents for the car and 25 cents per person. Last night, with 2 adults, 1 child, and a child under 2 the price was $20.00. How things have changed?
We saw the movie ICE AGE: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Hunter eventually fell asleep, but Dancer stayed up to 10:00p.m., enjoying the movie, eating Gobstoppers, Red Vine Cherry Licorice, and Starcrunches. Needless to say, her stomach hurt.
This was just another way to enjoy the great outdoors!
