99 W Drive-In

99 W Drive-In
Hwy 99W, W of Springbrook Rd
503-538-2738

The 99W drive-in was a single screen drive-in from opening until 1983 when we built an indoor TWIN CINEMA on the property to be able to stay open year round. The indoors have 225 seats each, the drive-in can park 275 to 300 cars.  The Twin closed in 2015 when available films ran out due to the industry move to digital.

The 99W Drive-In is presently on its third screen! The first was lost in the Columbus Day Storm of 1962-it blew our marquee letters half a mile away and also destroyed the screen in neighboring McMinnville at the Corral Drive-in, which was run by three parties of which we were one, but it didn't continue after that. On it's site is presently a Wilco Farm Supply store and is curiously right next to a Walmart.
