My first thought was that why would people want to go to a drive-in when not many go to regular movie theaters. But people do go to hear free music on the squares—not most of us, but maybe, what, a thousand a night, total? More? What if we had a drive-in just for golf carts? I attended a golf cart concert at the polo grounds once, and that was fun.

Find a parking lot with limited access and no trees near a town square, maybe play the soundtrack live on YouTube, and only allow double-parked golf carts.

A drive in theater???? Too many people can't maneuver the round abouts, can you imagine a car pulling up to you to grab the speaker???? Ugh LOL

With today's technology, you won't have to "pulling up to you to grab the speaker"

So now are you a yes??

I was thinking the same think. Hot summer night in Florida? MOSQUITOES!!!. We would be eaten alive!

By far the best option for movies for those who like them on a big screen is the AMC at Lake Square Mall in Leesburg. We've gone there for years. We're talking to more and more Villagers who are going there. $5 Tuesday's. Get AMC's A-List membership if you like to go a few times per month, and for around $24 autopay you can see up to three movies per week, get advanced seating with convenience charges waived, leather recliners, concessions discounts/rewards, and cutting edge audio video technology. When you are paying an average of as little as $2 per movie ticket, you travel cost is more than offset, and you don't have to debate whether each movie you see has to be a 'blockbuster' in order to justify spending the much higher ticket cost you pay anywhere else. Just get out of the house and go enjoy. Plus, contrary to the popular myth that is being perpetrated, there are many good movies coming out, and there always have been, even throughout the pandemic and since. Plus, going to the mall, even though it's not a fancy big city type mall, is a chance to walk inside during heat, rain etc;; and there are some nice stores there, plus bowling, indoor go-carts, arcade, sports bar, and food court.

We also combine the trip to the movies with other errands along the way (and sometimes a trip to Icy King!)

AMC is in my opinion possibly at least one factor in why the Villages is not reopening other theaters; it's a much better option, hard to compete with, for movie lovers.

Third golf cart movie this season is later this month

The third golf cart drive in movie is later this month

except for those conceived there

they also have a magic show where the car's trunk pops open and many people emerge

I don't think they've used a "speaker" at drive-ins for decades...

Now, they broadcast a weak FM signal that you pick up on your car radio...

They were for me.

The idea sounds interesting, except for the high percentage of people in TV that maintain a bedtime less than 2 hours after dusk would seem to limit the potential audience.

yes, they wake up the roosters
