Showboat Drive-In Movie Theater

[ftjax]

I went often in the 1950's -1970's...I took them for granted back then till they went away...I'd love to revist some now !

wow.. I went to a drive-in when i was little and it was tight,, (maybe its my young imagination or wishful thinking) but it was in Sherwood Arkansas. It had 2 screens, but I think i can recall it having a carnival in it,, (i think i remember) a big ferris wheel. Either way, I think thats my next venture. Is to start a drive in theater with a stage in front of the screen, (so local artist of all music genres can perform on certain nights , before, between, & after movies) I think it would b nice!

There used to be a Drive Inn in Houston at 45 and West Road where there is now a Frys Electronics and The Dump furniture store. Back in the 1980's.

I live in Houston. When I was in High School in the 80's there was a Drive Inn at 45 and West Road. Now it is the site of Fry's Electronics and The Dump.

I noticed that the SHOWBOAT had someone telling people to park as close to the other cars as possible. Problem is some people won't. The CAPRI in Coldwater MI had the problem of turning away cars because people parked less than as suggested. They had removed the speaker poles years ago. They solved the problem by simply installing poles (no speakers) just a bit shorter than the old ones and spaced the width of most cars pkus a ew feet. Even if you wanted to hog spots there...you can't !

I love the Showboat Drive-in. It's great to bring the little one because they won't bother other viewers during the show. I love drive-in's and hope they make a full come back!

Wow I Live in the Westchase area and heard about this from a friend. I don't know if it's cool enough to go yet without running the A/C the whole time, but sounds like fun.

We went Memorial Weekend. It was great, my kids loved it. We saw the Indiana Jones and Ironman movie. Two newly released movies for $5.00 a piece~Woo Hoo!!! The french fries are the best.

[Teleplayer2020]

Its always a double-feature! What's not to love about that? Went there the other night to see Iron Man/Drillbit Taylor, may go see Speed Racer this weekend. Great time with the family!

[KingDNH]

[joeydutton]

Nice story! My wife and I visited the Showboat drive-in in the spring of this year (2007). We loved it! It really took me back to my childhood when my Dad used to take me to our local drive-in in Arkansas. Great experience!

[sgtpepper1138]

awesome video, they tore down our drive in here in grants pass, or (the redwood drive in) but i'm soooo glad that they're making a comeback because it's an important part of history
