    The last time I saw a movie at a drive-in theater was "The Fifth Element" back in 1997; had I known we still had one in our area, I'd have been coming a lot more frequently! Now that I know, return visits are definitely going to be a frequent occurrence! Some friends invited us to see the Godzilla+Kong / Dune 2 double-feature, meaning we ended up staying for over six hours, well into the wee hours of the night! Although they didn't have the wildly inappropriate Dune 2 popcorn bucket, everything else about the experience was awesome! Talk about a blast from the past! For an extremely reasonable price (our ticket total came to $35 for two adults and four kids), you roll on in and find a spot to park your vehicle (closer is better, if you ask me), pop the trunk or tailgate, tune in to the radio broadcast (96.5 FM), and settle in for a long, but enjoyable, nostalgic cinematic experience. The concession stand in the building nearby is similarly retro, with classic monster movie posters, tchotchkes and movie props, an old TV playing the employees' film of choice (Empire Strikes Back, during our visit), and concession prices that don't seem to have changed much since the 90s! Massive popcorn buckets run you $4, $5 or $6 bucks, soda is cheap, and other fun treats, such as a couple of microwaved White Castle sliders, cost you a whopping $3 bucks. Unlike any major movie theater chain, the prices here are affordable enough that taking the entire family won't break the bank! If you're an oldster (like me) looking to relive a classic movie-going experience from your youth and share it with your family and friends, or a youngster wondering what all the fuss is about, 99W is the place to make it happen! So pack up the kiddies, grab some blankets and pillows, and get yourself on down to Newberg, because rain or shine, it's movie time!

    So fun! I haven't been to a drive-in since I was a kid, and this was a blast. It was a Sunday night in the summer and the Barbie movie was on, but we still managed to get in less than an hour before showtime (we'd planned to be there sooner but got waylaid a few times). Which was good, because it's a trek from Portland! Prices are reasonable, and there's enough food that you could eat dinner, but you know, snack bar dinner -- pizza, hot dogs, nachos, White Castle burgers (!), etc. My only quibble is that I wish we could buy tickets in advance online, to ensure that the long trek down is worth it! We will totally be back -- with the hatchback, blankets, and dog next time! So many cute pups!

    This is an amazing place with a great American tradition to live up to. A classic drive in setup, with ramps of dirt to park on. The window speakers are missing and you get your sound though the radio, which can be a concern for the double features since you have to worry about the car battery. They show double features, sometimes first run movies, sometimes classic ones. Usually at the start of the show, the owner asks for people to honk their horns to indicate what movie they'd prefer to see next. The movies do start after dark, though, so in the summer that means it might not start the first show until after 930, with the second one at 1130 or later, so not necessarily a great place for real little kids. I will say though that sometimes you get experiences you'd never expect. My eight year old son absolutely loves giant monster movies, like King Kong and Godzilla. Before Kong vs. Godzilla was released, the drive in showed the original 1933 original classic King Kong. So in 2021, my son and I sat at a drive-in movie theater and watched the black and white Kong Kong, in all it's claymation and puppet glory. It was absolutely spectacular. Can't recommend this place enough.

    Literally everything was perfect. So nostalgic. Amazing prices and always a double feature. Not a bad seat in the house. Bring an FM radio and have a blast!!! We are quickly making this a consistent weekend activity!! Thanks so much 99W Drive-In for keeping the memories and the movies alive!!!

    My setup for watching the show. Find one that works for you!

    I went for the first time this last Friday evening, and it was just as magical as my parents recalled!!!! Growing up in the age of Netflix and Hulu, I thought drive-in theaters were all gone. This place truly is a hidden gem! My advice, plan on arriving at least 45-60 minutes early as the line to get in can be long. Bring some blankets and anything else to get comfy. I sat in the back of my car, but a bunch of families had chairs out. I'll be purchasing a battery powered FM radio for my next visit, as a few cars had dead batteries from running the radio for the show. Also, try the hot dog at the refreshment stand!!!!

    Smooth and easy getting in. Have to say the website delivers all the information you need is right there. Stop somewhere bring your own food in. That's my recommendation. They do have a snack bar. I'm just saying it's a snack bar. It's not a McDonald's or even a diner style kitchen. It's a snack bar. The one downside is you really need to get there an hour before show time to get a spot. I know it was Spring Break but It always fills up this fast according to other patrons. Yes it's kind of a tailgate mentality without the BBQ. People are setting up their camping tables making sandwiches setting up buffets of chips and dip and various salads. Some people were tossing a football around and a game of frisbee broke out. Pretty relaxed amazing atmosphere. Of course mask were worn and everyone social distanced You either hang in your car or walk all around just to people watch. A double feature is the only down side. You can't leave and come back in so be prepared if nature calls or you do need more to eat. It's to the snack bar. Make sure to start your car. At least some time during the movie. Batteries were not meant to be on for three hours straight or however long both movies are. Enjoyable family night.

    Been in this spot since around 7:20, are you kidding me?

    Came here at 6:13. Lining up begins at 6 and it was already around the corner. Okay, no biggie. The current capacity is 200 which is great, but it looks like they were letting more people on past the capacity. People coming in hours later were squeezing their cars between the poles which are only supposed to have one car in each space. We got here early, parked the car, and then had our view completely obstructed an hour later with only half the screen visible as an SUV squeezed in the filled spot in front of us. We were also cut in line while starting the car to enter the lot as the line started moving 10 minutes early. 5 cars passed. Got pictures and plates. I got in contact with a lovely volunteer Crystal (she did not work at the Drive-In, just helps out!). Got the person to change angles so we could see! Also FYI: if you see someone cutting the line, send someone from your car to the ticket booth to report them before they get into the lawn. Get plates!

    This place rules. $10 for a double feature is awesome. I love that they show vintage drive-in ads for the snack bar and stuff. Public restrooms that were properly stocked. Very chill atmosphere. What's better than Beetlejuice and The Lost Boys on a balmy October night? A lot of people left after Beetlejuice, so we were able to upgrade our spot. We had a super fun time and I'm so glad that this place is only a half hour from SW Portland!

    Family Tribe Night! 40 deep!

    Get there early! Bring rope to tie down trunk as it may block those behind you. Always have your chairs and any other comforts like a small table and blankets! There is a snack bar and they close once the second feature is underway. Great place for the family and the kids enjoyed the experience. Not many more around and if you can catch it next summer be sure to get the gang and make it an adventure! Double features which is great as movies theaters are becoming so expensive and time is so valuable. It can get dusty when people start leaving early. Always good to have snacks and drinks ready as kids do get hungry while being there for so long.

    No less than 30 mins, but generally it's not difficult.

Yes, you could see a blockbuster for a discount, but you can do that at just about any theater in Portland. When it would welcome events like the Tournees Film Festival, Radical Reels, Rocky Horror, etc., it seemed as if it was fulfilling its purpose: That quirky, off-centered, cosmopolitan little college town theater that broadened the community's horizons. I'll admit that even before Covid-19, its gaze was getting a bit narrow. Why latch on with Disney when Grand Lodge and Cornelius are going to play the same films? Why have a brewery partnership targeting a core audience that can't really drink your beer? Why ignore the campus altogether when Pacific has a film department that can actively help you with programming? I think of Portland State's Fifth Avenue Cinema and I see so much potential for the Forest. You could host Pacific film and video majors' work, let them and their department host repertory programs and fill in the rest with art and independent films that nobody in Hillsboro, Cornelius or Beaverton--or even Newberg--is going to show. If Ridgewalker needs to host the occasional ski film or showing of Strange Brew or some other party movie to bring in revenue, that's understandable. But you have untapped resources right next door that can help the Forest become relevant to new generations in Forest Grove. Showing Marvel movies until the place has to close again is one strategy, but I think the pandemic's granted you a better opportunity. It would be great to see Ridgewalker take it.

    Well, it's a $5 (or cheaper) movie theatre. There is one screen with a bunch of seating…read more It seems like this one screen is usually playing one of the most popular movies that is currently out. It is located right next to the Pacific University campus, which probably makes it popular with the local college kids, especially considering the low ticket cost. It shares a website with the Cornelius theatre, so I think they must be owned by the same people. So, the sound system wasn't great. (I noticed at the beginning of the movie, but it wasn't distracting for the entire showing.) There was trash on the floor near my seat, and I was at the first showing of the day. They also didn't bring the lights all the way down for the actual movie - they stayed at the dim setting that is usually just reserved for the previews. When I went to use the restroom, there was a weird giant hole in the ceiling of what looks like it should have been a sitting area, but in fact it was just an empty room. The lock on my stall didn't line up. When I went to wash my hands, the hot water handle on both of the taps didn't work, but water did come out when I used the cold water tap. Most of the parking on the street was only 2 hour parking from 8 AM to 5 PM, but there was a small lot behind the theater that didn't look like it had a time restriction. When I showed up at the front door, there was a ticket booth, but there was also a sign on the door saying to go inside to concessions to purchase my ticket (it looked like there was just one employee there for the matinee I attended). Snacks were pretty reasonably priced at ~$2 for theatre candy. Overall, the place was just pretty dingy. It could really use being spruced up and maintained a little bit better. I appreciated the low ticket cost (which is the reason this place gets 3 stars instead of 2), but I wholeheartedly prefer the Cornelius theatre over this one. I don't think I'll be back.
