Review of Starlight Six Drive-In Theatre...

I hope the Starlight 6 Drive in Management actuall...

I hope the Starlight 6 Drive in Management actually sees this post. I moved to ATL in 2010. MY FAVORITE THING I found down here was the drive in. shortly after moving down I had 2 boys, one of which is AUTISTIC and can have random outbursts so the drive in is perfect because you dont have to worry about bothering people with things like kids being kids. In the past few years, when the owners or management switched over, I noticed a lot of changes, most of which arent great for business. We used to enjoy the military discount, as my husband is a Vet, but they no longer offer that. Thats Fine, we said, since we can still see two movies for the price of one. Then the prices went up. And then they closed down the other side (Screens 4-6) so now, the same amount of people on a friday night, are fighting for spots between 3 screens. The screens, especially screen 1, (we go to the drive in QUITE OFTEN) needs repainting. There are rust streaks running down the screen and can seriously mess with the overall picture, and screen one seems out of focus. The movie options are VERY LIMITED which doesnt make sense, since they have 3 other screens and now movies that should be, in my opinion, being played longer (more weekends in a row) but arent. Like right now, NO KIDS MOVIES BEING PLAYED, but storks JUST CAME OUT..... youre playing scary or R rated movies on the one side, got a WHOLE other side closed down and could be putting kids movies over there. If you dont want to open the 2nd concession, then Dont, just make the bathrooms available and keep the concessions closed. Movies that are cinema hits, are getting shown for short periods of time, when you switch the movies over, put the older ones over there. SOMETHING. This was a long over due complaint that I am just now getting to, so SORRY its so long. Im making complaints, BUT SUGGESTIONS TOO. Military discount.... sounds stupid..... but when we use to go with our friends, there would be us and other cars with Military guys in them....who doesnt feel safer knowing you have military personnel near by. Doesnt even have to be the original $1. Maybe half price, or a few bucks less, maybe just every other weekend, week nights only SOMETHING. This is marketing 101. You have screens, utilize them. You are located near military bases, in the SOUTH SIDE OF ATL ON MORELAND AVE..... No military dicount..... thats like QUICK TRIP offering free coffee all day for cops, because they welcome their presence. (maybe not these days, but back when they made us feel safe) You raise the prices and then cut the number of movies available... Please repaint. please open up the other screens. please offer something to those whole serve/served this country. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
