Located on Highway 99 West (Portland Road), the 99W Drive-in opened in August 1953 with "Sea Devils" and "Under the Sahara" as the first features to be played there. The 99W Drive-In was a single screen drive-in from opening day until 1983 when an indoor Twin Cinema was built on the property in order to stay open year round. The indoor theater has 225 seats each, total 450. The drive-in has a capacity for 275 cars.

The 99W Drive-In has changed little over the past 50 years. It has remained in the same family and the snackbar is quite original and fun. In the projection booth reel to reel change overs are still being performed as they were in the good old days. In between features there is a vintage intermission reel to add to the atmosphere. Historical value is very important here as it is at the Cameo theatre across town. Showing support to vintage theatres is getting more important as larger multi-plexes try to bully their way into small towns.
