Drive-in rules

• You must be in a vehicle to enter the lot. There is no entry on foot or on any sort of bicycle, including scooters, motorcycles, or other non-enclosed modes of transport. RV’s/campers/buses/ trailers are not allowed.
• Please park where directed. You may not save spaces for yourself or anyone else prior to the lot opening. Parking is based on vehicle height, with shorter cars in front, taller ones in back. If you have a roof rack or storage pod, expect to be in the back.

• Please remain in your vehicle throughout the movie, except in an emergency or to use the restroom.
