Q: Do you still have speakers?
A: Yes, but only a limited number. Come early if you want a space with a speaker. We also have FM radio sound that can be used both from parking spots on the ramps as well as additional parking spots in the grass. If you bring a portable radio, we recommend one with a digital tuner. There are also apps for your smart phone that allow you to receive FM. We also offer portable radios in the concession stand for those who need them.
Q: Will it run my battery down if I use the FM radio sound?
A: This is not likely, but it is possible with a weak battery or custom high amp car stereo. But, don’t worry because we will gladly jump your battery with our booster pack.
Q: What time does the gate open?
A: The box offices opens at least an hour and one half ahead of the start time on Friday and Saturday nights, an hour ahead on Sunday’s, and forty-five minutes ahead on week nights. It is suggested that you arrive by the time the gate opens to have time to get through the lines and get settled down prior to show time.
Q: Can we bring our own food?
A: Yes, whatever you want. However, there is a permit fee in order to bring in outside food & beverage. We hope you will buy some food from us because our prices are much better than indoor theaters and we think our popcorn is the best. Buttered popcorn, pizza slices, French fries, hot dogs, burgers, nachos, candy, ice cream, soft pretzels, Pepsi products, Juice drinks, Monster, and bottled water. But, if we don’t have what you want, feel free to bring in your own with the permit. Also, please take your trash back home with you.
Q: If we buy tickets for one screen, can we freely cross over to the other screen for the second feature?
A: No, absolutely not. The companies that license the movies to us forbid that. If you want to change sides, you have to pay all over again. (At this time we only have one screen, but we do plan to eventually add a second screen).
Q: Why do you play R-rated movies?
A: We offer the most popular movies. Although, we prefer to play, G, PG, and PG13 movies, every year there are usually a couple of movies that are so popular, we feel that we have to show them.
Q: How can we find out why the movie is rated R?
A: The international movie data base (IMDB) tracks all information for every film Visit IMDB.
Q: Are you on Facebook?
A: Yes and we post out schedule and other information frequently. Go to Skyview Drive-In.
Q: If I have a truck or van, do I have to park in the back?
A: No. Cars 60″ or less park next to a white post. Trucks, Vans, Suvs etc. 61″ or more park next to an orange post. You vehicle should be center of the post and as close as possible to allow someone in beside you. Please do not park in the handicap spaces if you do not have a placard.
Q: Can we put our lawn chairs in the car space beside us?
A: On a slow night, we have no problem with this. But on Friday and Saturday nights, and holiday nights, we are frequently very busy. On those nights, we have to ask you not to take up extra spaces. Chairs and blankets should be in front of your vehicle between your vehicle and the screen.
Q: Are you open when it is raining?
A: We operate in the rain and even thunderstorms. We will run the show no matter what. Frequently, threats of rain do not materialize or the rain stops. Some people don’t mind “watching” the movie with the wipers going.
Q: What is your rain check policy?
A: If a thunder storm or heavy rain occurs, making it impossible for you to stay and enjoy the movie, we will give you a raincheck if you haven’t been able to see a complete movie. Be sure to hold on to your tickets. We can’t offer you a rain check if you don’t have your tickets. Refunds are not offered.
Q: Do you accept charge cards?
A: Yes we do. You can use your plastic at the ticket office to purchase your tickets and you can also charge your food in the concession stand.
Q: What day do the movies change?
A: Mostly they change on Friday’s, but we are now frequently allowed to open on Thursday and also sometimes there are unusual openings because of how the Fourth of July falls. So, click on the tab to receive our weekly emails. We usually receive our bookings by the end of the day each Tuesday, we try to have the upcoming changes for Friday posted on our website by Wednesday. Also, we are posting frequently on Facebook, so like us, Skyview Drive-In.
Q: How long will a movie be there?
A: The newly-released movies must play a minimum of two weeks. We play a few of them longer, usually by converting them to a second feature. If you want to see the movie, you should plan on coming before the end of the second week.
Q: Why do you frequently move a movie that has already played two or three weeks into the second feature slot, rather than bringing in something different?
A: We try to put the strongest movies on the screen that we can get. We aren’t going to terminate a movie that is bringing in lots of people unless there is something stronger that we missed out on earlier. If there is something strong that we missed, we usually bring it in at the first opportunity.
Q: Do you always play two movies?
A: Yes, at least two movies. About once or twice a year, we will play three.
Q: Can we bring Man’s best friend?
A: Dogs are permitted, but we expect the dog to be well-behaved and not bark at other customers. If you walk the dog, please walk it on a leash and be sure to scoop.
Q: Can we grill out?
A: No, We do not permit this.
Q: What are your accommodations for the handicapped?
A: We do have limited handicapped parking spaces, so we suggest that you arrive early on Friday and Saturday nights or come on slower nights so that you can have the space that best suits your needs. If you have a ramp on the side of your van, we will permit you to occupy a double space, but again please come early on Friday and Saturday nights. If you are hearing-impaired, we are broadcasting in FM and you could bring a digitally tuned radio with headphones and we hope that works for your impairment.
Q: Is smoking permitted?
A: Yes, but we always expect our customers to respect the rights of their neighbors and since most people do not smoke, if there is a car parked next to you, you either need to close your windows when smoking, or exit the car and stand in an open area away from non-smoking customers.
