My nieces (ages 5 & 7) took off to the playground and play forever! There was corn hole set up opposite the playground and a stage where they usually play live music. I am so glad we did because by 7:30 the place was PACKED.

Our movie didn't start until 8:50 PM but since we had finished with dinner early and it was our first time visiting Coyote we got there around 6:00 PM to check out everything and get a good parking spot. The ticket prices were great - $8 for adults & $6 for kids for a double feature. This place was just amazing!! I went with my brother, sister in law, and my two nieces. Good experience! Parking lot is gravel and when the wind comes up, it does blow dust around and you get kinda dusty and you don't get the benefit of A/C but, it definitely is a great family experience and worth the price for a double feature!

The sound for the movie wasn't a problem as many of the surrounding vehicles radio's make the audio sufficient and many people brought portable radio's. Other foods looked good but can't comment on those. The pretzels were old, dry and genuinely gross and wouldn't recommend. Typical movie snack bar fare with the added option of a bar and real food i.e. We went to the concession stand because we were denied that privilege when we were kids and get something 'because we could!'. 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! We've been trying to get here since it opened and finally got the chance. This entry was posted in 2017 Drive-In-a-Day Odyssey, Texas by mrdrivein. The details were that it was a grain elevator, it was around 7 on a Saturday evening, and “the man didn’t have a reason to be there.” The torches were quickly extinguished, and it appeared that no arrests were made.

Only in Fort Worth: The Fort Worth Star-Telegram had the headline of the year last January: “Fort Worth firefighters respond to elevator fire, find man juggling flaming batons”. With a full-sized fridge in the room, weeknight evening reception and a good breakfast, I wish I could have the extended stay this place is made for. The very closest was a safe choice, the TownPlace Suites Downtown. Where I Virtually Stayed: The Coyote is close enough to downtown Fort Worth and its intersection of interstate highways that there are plenty of hotel choices. Are there good German restaurants everywhere, but I just didn’t notice before I visited Munich? This unassuming small standalone building next to a gas station, Little Germany, had the best spaetzle since New Braunfels at least. I didn’t expect that the closest restaurant to the Fort Worth Coyote would be another authentic German place. Nearby Restaurant: I was in heaven again. Movie Showing / Total Active Nights: Split / 18 Miles Today / Total: 37 / 2938 (rounded to the nearest mile) If you see it, don’t tell anyone about the ending! But desperation and some good buzz about Split led me there for the night. I had already seen three of the early movies, and the fourth was one of those creepy types I wouldn’t ordinarily choose. There were four double features playing, yet I had a tough choice. But instead of the footlong corn dog, I switched to the buffalo chicken pizza. The menu here was pretty much identical to the Coyote in Lewisville, right down to the note that “Taxis are available.” Considering that a “small” fountain soft drink is $5.50, a $5 pint of domestic beer looked like a real bargain.

Jimmy Buffett performed here in June 2014 concert that was syndicated to other drive-ins, a great example of the possibilities created by the switch to digital projection. And of course there are the two newest members of the Coyote family in Leeds AL and Lewisville TX. Since it was built from scratch and opened in May 2013, we’ve seen others reopened and others created or planned.

It’s an exaggeration to say that the Coyote in Fort Worth spearheaded the drive-in renaissance, but only slightly. It’s Day 24 of my virtual Drive-In-a-Day Odyssey, time again for the occasional oddity of consecutive nights in theaters of the same chain. The drive took less than an hour, from the northeast corner of the DFW metroplex to the heart of Fort Worth TX, but it was also a trip back to the start of a new era in drive-in theaters, the era that began when the Coyote Drive-In opened.
