Star Vu Drive-In preview Night

The Southern California Drive-In Movie Society was invited to attend a special preview night for the grand opening of the New Star Vu Drive-In in Costa Mesa California in the parking lot of the Orange County Fair Grounds.

A very interesting and innovative use of a clean empty space for use a drive-in. The area is ready made for such a venue. There is a snack bar, projection booth, restrooms, outside patio seating and enough space for 300 cars, although I believe they may be able to expand that to 350 or maybe 400.

This is a very short, and I mean very short clip of the festivities shot with my daughters digital still camera so we were limited to the amount of memory the camera could record.

There are no ramps; how do people in the backseats see the screen?

Initially they had people in smaller vehicles closer to the screen and the higher profile SUV's and Vans parked in the rear.

To Sal Gomez.  Hello again. I saw your earlier clip that talked about your society. The parking lot of the now closed SILVERDOME D IN was slanted down towards the screen. They painted special curved parking spots and their metal screens were hung at an odd angle. We were able to attend a special pre opening party the night before it opened and featured it on Outdoor moovies. We did a total of 3 stories there before it closed. Purists might scoff but I say ANY drive in is better than none!
