Thanks LarryFM! Something else I forgot to mention is there was outdoor seating at the end of the consession. It was just straight
benches with backrests and one speaker. I’m thinking one end of the consessions the seats were facing one screen and opposite on the other end. For some reason I can only remember sitting on the south
end facing east but if the seats were back to back it seams the sound would’ve conflicted. I grew up very close so that’s the drive in my family went to the most but we occasionally ventured out to other ones so there’s probably no drive in in Fort Worth built after
1954 that I haven’t been to except The Meadowbrook which was right across I30 from the Twin but for some reason my Parents always said The Meadowbrook was “seedy”
I don’t know the demensions but I know the original screens were smaller. The west screen was the largest and had space in the bottom
that had doors. I don’t know what was in there though. The east screen was smaller and was kind of plain. They were a pinkish color
and the west screen had Fort Worth Twin written in neon on the back.
The screens were partially destroyed by high winds or a tornado in the 60s. They actually erected large poles in front of the old screens and hung large canvases so they could continue to show movies while they built the new giant “curved” screens.
