It was the opening night for The Incredibles 2 and it was BUSY to say the least! Parking is cramped and we saw 2 accidents almost immediately as the attendant was trying to get people to move closer to allow more cars and it became kind of nerve wracking. We took my 1968 Chevelle here for that old time feel and it was fun! Until the new cinema opens in Lewisville, residents looking to catch flicks from the comfort of their car can head to the company’s original Panther Island location in Fort Worth.We've been trying to get here since it opened and finally got the chance. I would love to see some of the recent Christian movies shown there.”Ĭoyote opened its second location in Birmingham, Alabama, at the start of May. “I don’t care for any sort of violence or foul language. “We honestly don’t go to movies, but if there were a decent family film we would consider it,” Lewisville resident Kari Simpkins, 53. Some residents had suggestions for Coyote before they open. We never got around to it because all the ones open then were too far away,” she said.
“Me and my friends in high school always wanted to. I am sure they’ve come a long way since then.”įlower Mound resident Nicole Webb, 23, who is currently in school in Washington D.C., said she’s never been to a drive-in theater. “Now I want my grandchildren to experience the drive-in movie. “We would load our Volkswagen bus with bottles, diapers and baby food and go to the movies,” she said.

Lewisville resident Sallie Burris, 62, said that when she was dating in high school, she used to catch films at the Rebel Twin Drive-In off Belt Line in Carrollton. Coyote Drive-In uses special FM radio frequencies to which guests tune their car’s radio, so “there is never going to be an issue with the heat,” he said. “When we think of drive-ins, we think of the old days of having to roll down the windows,” he said. Simpson said that next summer, when Coyote Drive-In is open, Texans won’t have to worry about the summer heat like they did. “I absolutely would go and I understand it’s very difficult to build things when we’re getting the type of rain we’ve been getting,” he said. Lewisville resident Todd Simpson, 36, said he loved going to theaters like it when he was younger. Soloman said significant progress will be seen in the next coming weeks as the weather forecast shifts. “But when the long-anticipated location finally opens, it will be worth the wait.” “Nobody is more sorry about the delay than we are,” Soloman said. No changes have been made to the planned design since Lewisville approved $306,500 of incentives in February and work was moving on schedule since the company broke ground in January, before recent rains.
