Hey everyone, just wanted to tell you about my experience at the Drive In the other night. The movie featured was Monster House - an animated feature. Just below the American Bandstand theater is a huge parking lot where they had a blow up movie screen at the far end from Hwy 76 - in the corner. There are no lines or guide lines to how people park, they just drive up any which way and park. We were one of 30 cars - most filled with families, here to watch the movie. On the screen came a note to turn your radio to 103.5 fm for sound, but found out later the transmitter was faulty so they just had large speakers. The movie started just after 7pm even though they will tell you the movie starts at dusk.... this night's dusk was 6:15.
At the rear of the parking lot was a lunch trailer with hotdogs, popcorn and drinks. I enjoyed the thought of a Drive In and with so many people attending and sitting outside in the cold fall air in their lawn chairs - many covered in blankets ----- It was a little nostalgic for me. If I had any suggestions to give it would be to raise the screen onto a trailer if they could so people in the back could see - either that or paint some lines on the lot to organize the cars better. Luckily we had a front row seat, being there early to catch the beginning of the movie.
All - in - all I would have to say this was a great FREE activity for families in or visiting Branson to attend. They show a different movie every Friday night. Not sure how many weekends they will do it, but if there in nothing going on in the Branson Family house on a Friday night, you can be sure this will be on the possibilities list.
Have a Great Day!
