Ever been to a drive-in cinema before? If not, head over to Aspire Park now!
Qatar has always prided itself as an artistic and entertainment hub. After opening several multiplexes in the country, it is now the turn for another experiment — drive-in cinemas.
Aspire Park recently soft-launched a new facility on its premises, reported The Peninsula. There are also outdoor activities like go-kart racing and food caravans on offer.
The drive-in cinema is expected to feature latest movies as well as live coverage of mega sports events, thanks to a tie-up with BeIN Sports.
The park will have enough parking space for 80 cars, with ample amount of food and snacks available on carts.
Caysee, a Qatar-based Filipina blogger who posts her thoughts on Cayseecakes, went to the cinema and penned down her personal experience.
“One of the newest entertainment spots around Doha is the Drive-In Cinema located at Aspire Park, behind Villagio Mall. It offers a unique experience of watching old movies right at the comfort of your car,” she wrote.
“My friends and I visited Friday night to try it out! Tickets will be required for purchase starting Sunday, October 22, at 50% off, 75QR per car while original prices are at 150QR per car.”
“Once you enter the drive-in cinema area, guys in a yellow shirt and cap will approach your car to tell you to tune in to 88.3 and turn off your lights once you find a spot. The radio station plays the movie’s audio and as a drive-in cinema virgin that was just so amazing to me,” she wrote.
“If you need popcorn and drinks, people in pink uniforms are available to serve them to you right to your car. If you want more options there are a few, but not that many, food trucks right outside. Other attractions include vintage car displays, go karts and even a play ground for kids,” she observed.
But she had some suggestions for improvement.
“However, I do think they should lower ticket prices or at least include popcorn and drinks with the ticket. Also, they should add more food trucks as there weren’t many options either.”
If you are planning to check it out, you can know more from their Facebook page or head over to their website to book tickets.
