    Comfortable. Tasty popcorn. The ticket line wasn't the most efficient or well-laid-out thing in the world.

    Starting my review by saying "I was expecting so much more" from this place already sets it up for…read morethe 2 star rating. I'd never been here before and I'm always excited when there are new attractions in the Dells to check out. So here I am pumped and ready to go and then the first crappy thing strikes me. (This has no effect on my star rating just something you all should know). The 4D Theater, Ripley's and Wizard Quest are all owned by the same people. SO If you buy a pass to Wizard Quest AND Ripley's you will get free tickets to the 4D Theater. This does NOT include when you buy all of your attraction tickets at one of the spots where they sell discounted tickets per the number of supported attractions are sold. So we DID go to both Ripley's and Wizard Quest but because of the way we bought our tickets, we also had to pay (for a discounted price) the 4D theater tickets. Now back to the review. I wouldn't go back unless it really shaped up and someone yelped about it. We gave our tickets and followed the line. There was no attendant to tell us what to do so everyone was incredibly confused as to where we go. There were supposed to be 2 sets of shows to choose from, and when we bought the tickets the woman said that it was a 4 movie experience each about 15 minutes a piece so it lasted about an hour. Eventually about five minutes later when an attendant came by to let people in to the single room theater without any explanation we sat in our seats, put on our 3D glasses and waited. Shortly the first movie started up. It's not as good of 3D quality as they have now at the movie theaters where they've shown Coroline, Up, etc. So that was kind of disappointing. All of the films are animated and I can sum up all of the effects you will experience. You will be poked in the back with a stick (it hurts) You will have air blown in your face, and at your ankles You will have water splashed at you (not like a mist, but like a real splash) You will have your seat tremble, but not even as much as you'd like it to considering the movement scale of some of the action scenes. During the log ride it smells like pine. During the box of people ride it smells like soup. I was sitting there really wanting to enjoy it, and trying to prepare myself for the awful poke in the back that would come and wait for the videos to get a bit more interesting. The pirate captain one was the best movie, but the worst experience. When you're a box of people I thought that was the best experience overall, but the shortest. I can't see how those movies were more than 10 minutes (or 5 in a couple cases). That brings me to my last point. While the first two movies were shown back to back, there was then an announcement for an exit and we were not the only ones saying, "What the...?" Because we paid for 4 movies. So we waited about 10 minutes wondering with everyone else what was going on, and then the second 2 movies came on. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bit more than 10 minutes. The next two movies were back to back. I thought it was really poorly organized. One of the workers ran in and out without a word to anyone a couple times. I was really dissapointed. If you want to go to a quality 4D theater I recommend Disney World. They have two, one in Epcot I believe and the other in Animal Kingdom.

    What a waste of money! Bad 3D quality…read morePoke in the back hurts Bad service, it looked like they were pissed that we bought tickets for the last show of the night, and one employee said we could buy tickets for 2 movies and another said they couldn't because thne they would have to go home late. We had no idea what to do or where to go. They took our tickets and we were left standing there, we had to ask were to go even though the employee was right there. Same thing at the end. We finally walked out into a gift shop, no employees to be seen. We were actually locked in the gift shop, we had to unlock the door and let ourselves out. Even our 9 yr old thought it was lame, our 14 vyr old wanted to walk out. Old wizard of oz movie. I could not beleive it sucked soooo much!

    We always want the yummy buttered popcorn even if we aren't going to a movie. So on a Saturday…read moremovie night we go to the theater , get popcorn and go home and enjoy it. Most don't know this but at the beginning of the year, they offer a bucket of popcorn for $25, you keep the bucket and when you bring it back to enjoy more popcorn or go to the movie, it only costs $5 to fill that same bucket!! And this can be done throughout the year with that bucket. Shown in the picture is the bucket and the popcorn. The friendly staff also put the popcorn in a baggy so we wouldn't dirty the bucket on this visit. Normally concession items are super expensive at theaters. This is a great way to really save on popcorn, at theaters theater or at your home!

    This is our go to theatre on the east side. The amount of options for movie watching preferences is…read morenice. I prefer the elite experience of the Ultra screen. It's a wider and larger screen and more crisp sound. The dream loungers are cozy for snuggling up to your partner, or for getting comfortable alone. There's plenty of space so you can escape into the movie. Also a fan of the pricing for theatre snacks. I remember when popcorn cost 13 dollars and I appreciate that Marcus keeps it under 10 for a large. Pro tip- sign up for the free rewards program. You get discounts on popcorn and snacks and get $7 movies and free popcorn on Tuesdays!

    This place might be my favorite experience in all of the Wisconsin Dells…read more So much fun. I have not been to a drive in since the mid 90s and was super excited to get to share this experience with my children and this place did not disappoint. They have 2 screens which I had not seen at a drive in before but it works well. The audio plays over fm radio stations and they have radios to rent if you don't bring your own or want to run your car battery down. The food is reasonably priced and they have a great selection that I would say surpasses any of the local chain theaters I go to back home. Burgers, hot dogs, nachos, sloppy joes, popcorn, cheese curds, soda, candy, corn dogs, onion rings, French fries, grilled cheese, pizza, and tacos off the top of my head. Just a huge selection of options. The movies say they start at dusk but add about 15 minutes to that based on our experience. It makes sense, dusk is easy to search for to find the time but it isn't really dark enough yet. So just be aware it's a little later and if you stay for the full double feature it is going to be a late night. But totally worth it.

    I love the nostalgic feel of a drive-in movie. It reminded me of my childhood, watching at night…read morewith my family and enjoying a movie outdoors on a big screen.

    I honestly don't remember how often I came here back in the day (you know, when I was a kid), but…read morewhen I walked in this past week to see Wreck It Ralph, all the memories came flooding back. It's a small, two screen theater that is exactly how I remember it, down to the smell, even. It a sort of sweet, slightly musty smell that adds so much to the charm of this place. For some reason, as the nostalgia swept over me, I subconsciously felt compelled to get Twizzlers as my movie candy of choice (I believe they were usually accompanied by Reese's Pieces, too). Seats are relatively comfortable, though a little low on the back. I found that this helped me sit up straight during the movie, it would've been an epic slouch to be a comfortable one. Picture quality of the movie was great, volume/sound quality was great, as well. Nowadays, they're showing first run movies, so there's no need to head to Madison to see a movie on opening weekend if you're a movie nerd like me. On the down side, cash/checks only... but the Kwik Trip is right around the corner with a no fee ATM (just in case)! Also, only one screening of each movie on weekdays, two on weekends. Here's the real bummer: They recently found out that all movie releases starting next summer-ish are going to be in digital format only. Digital projectors are expensive. This theater may end up closing for good, unless they can raise the money to buy new projectors. I really hope that they will be able to accomplish their fundraising goal... Richland Center would be losing a cherished (to me, anyway) landmark if they cannot. Save the theaters (the drive in is at risk, too... the place where my cousin's now husband proposed) in Richland Center!
