I told my parents and we all went. I had a blast. But, of course, the idiots running the projector managed to show the movies out of order (1, 3, 4, 2 and 5).

I sat through all 5 movies one after the other, and can remember walking out of the theater into Times Square, looking up at the Coca Cola sign, and it was 2:10am - and I had an hour commute home on the 7 line to Flushing and then the Q15 bus to the house. Wouldn't be able to do that again, but at 18, it was awesome!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01776111783566907905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-4617530188624106202015-11-26T02:39:39.528-05:002015-11-26T02:39:39.528-05:00I was there in Great Falls MT. 13 years old.

We had great time and the audience-a lot of whom were our ages- made ape noises throughout in a packed theater. So it was a good show all the way around- including concession stand sales for the theater. We got it when we got home as we had left out the fact that the last movie didn't end until 12:30 AM . We got grounded for two weeks.

My introduction to POTA was the series as I have faint memories of seeing it when I was 4. That Christmas a neighbor got me a POTA playset with plastic apes figures, trees with a bridge and for some reason it had Army men too. I played with it until it fell apart.Metal Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400759786407810475noreply@blogger.com
