The Twin Cinema opened June 15, 1983 with Superman 3 and Blue Thunder. Plans for the theater date back to 1978 with proposed development of new theaters coming to Newberg.
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.
Here is a website for the 99 West:
