West Wind Sacramento 6 Drive-In

My family and friends look forward to the drive-in every Saturday night. It started as a nostalgia night so my 8 and 9-year old could see the way we watched movies when we were kids, that was over a year ago. We had a blast and started spreading the word and before long about 13 of us had become a group of drive-in junkies. We even had an end of school pot luck when Kung Fu Panda opened with over 30 people in attendance! None of us mind paying the $1 they recently began charging especially if it will help keep the drive-in open. The pizza delivery feature is pretty good too with a decent price and edible pizza. And what can I say about customer appreciation night twice a year with free admission, $1 nachos and some of our old favorites playing (we really enjoyed Grease and ET) except that it would be better to do it on Friday instead of Thursday. The only bad things and I have to mention them is the bathrooms (ugh) need to be repaired and maintained better (cleaning them and restocking the paper products during the evening would be nice)and the fact that some screens seem to be darker than others making night scenes in the movie hard to see. With all that said we still think it's a bargain and a wonderfully nostalgic slice from a simpler time in life before video games and two income families! I hope they don't take this away from us too!!

We visited this drive in on July 5th for my birthday. Our plan was to see Hancock and the Don't Mess With the Zohan (a movie we've been wanting to see). We checked the times online with Sacbee.com and saw the Hancock was playing at 8:55 and Zohan was at 10:55. We drove an hour to get there as we live in Pollock Pines. Imagine our disappointment when we were all set to watch Zohan as our second movie and they played Hancock again. We were not the only patrons unhappy with this. the staff was unwilling to change the movie to what the viewers were expecting. They gave us tickets to return, but with the cost of gas, this was a special occasion for us and I doubt we get the chance. The times we were expecting are advertised all over the internet. Shouldn't they return my money? I am very unhappy. I'm out $25 and a half tank of gas and I didn't get to see the movie I wanted.
