I could not disagree more with Steve Papas' comments. First of all, it is now summer 2006 and the Puget Park is open for business seven nights a week through Labor Day and then weekends only as long as the weather permits.
In the past several years that I have been attending the Puget Park, I have found the entire staff to be very friendly and accomodating. The snack bar has been spruced up since last year and they have a decent menu of movie treats. Very affordable too. When is the last time you didn’t have to take out a second mortgage on your home to make a purchase at a theater concession stand?
As for the restroom, I don’t know how much space Mr. Papas needs for himself but I find the men’s room at the Puget Park to be more than ample and it is kept very clean as well.
As for the improvements, it does appear that the entire lot was repaved since last summer, not just patch work. There is also a new marquis over the ticket booth at the entrance. At least I think that is new. I didn’t notice it last year.
As for the movie going experience. I love the Puget Park. I just saw a killer double feature of Pirates of the Carribean and Superman Returns. Played through the FM radio in your car the audio is stellar and gives the sensation of surround sound.
Occasionally, the place can get a bit rowdy with certain undesirables but you can get that anyplace. But that is VERY rare. Most of the time there are no problems what so ever.
I only have two criticisms of the Puget Park. I wish that they would keep the snack bar open for at least half of the second film. Sometimes you get hungry during the second movie and some people arrive to see only the second show. They are out of luck if they don’t get to the snack bar during intermission.
The other suggestion I have would be for the Drive-In to air a snack bar commercial right after the first film. Like the ones we remember from our childhood with the candy wheel, the dancing popcorn boxes, the hot dog jumping into the bun, etc. It would purely be for nolstalgia, but heck, it would boost the business at the concession stand.
I truly hope that Sterling Realty will preserve the Drive-In movie experience by keeping the Puget Park open for a long long time and not cave to the pressure to develope the land.
