I wanted to visit a Drive in in Tampa when i brought the kids down from Georgia and my friend Nick wanted us to visit a Drive in. Nick, admitted it was a gem in its day. He knows the projectionist so he had alot of great stories to tell. Like i Told Nick that was the most screwed up drive in i had seen in awhile.{there is triple drive in in Commerce,Ga. that is almost as BAD. We watched AMOVIE ON A FENCE at the FUN-LAND, AN HONEST TO GOODNESS FENCE.talk about greed.

And how the heck do you get out of there on a crowded night?

Yes, I live in the area & can confirm that Fun-Lan now has a total of 4 screens!

Unfortunately, I’ve gone to Fun-Lan plenty of times as a flea market, but only gone ONCE for a movie…and that movie was ‘Sliver’ starring Sharon Stone. I was on a date with a girlfriend, it began to rain and…let’s just say I still haven’t seen all of ‘Sliver’ to this day! :o)

This drive in sucks. The original owner Floyd Theaters built them so the screen is always full so when they have a movie that is in cinemascope, part of the film is hanging off the edge of the screen into the dark. They had many theaters in the Tampa area in the 70’s and they were all like that except one, the 20th Century which had the largest drive in screen in the USA. I live in Ft lauderdale now and we have a 13 screen drive in which is the same thing, no decent screens to show cinemascope projection.I wouldn’t waste my money.
