First of all, it's about time. With all this talk about the new upgrades coming to the Cinemark 12. This would be a perfect time to take it back to when Victoria had three movie theaters. What great memories for all of us.

The Playhouse

I personally think that the Playhouse (Dollar Movies) has the most personality. I mean, every theater was a different size. On the left was that huge big-time theatre and right next to it was the smallest theater that I have seen to this date. This was the Friday night spot for me. You could start out at the adjacent Pizza Hut and take in a dollar flick.

Cinema IV

This was a Saturday spot for me. I would spend my entire Saturday at the mall after my parents dropped me off. Anyone else?  I would spend my Saturday's playing games at Tilt, getting the latest cassette single at Camelot, and having a corn dog at Corn Dog 7. My day would close out by catching a flick at Cinema IV.

Salem Six

This was the movie theater that you probably caught the most new releases at.  I still remember the layout.  Most adults went to the movie theater to avoid the bigger crowd of annoying kids. I still remember walking out of theater 3 during the Blair Witch because I got nauseous. I couldn't find a picture of this theater.

Big upgrades coming to Cinemark 12 in Victoria.

The City of Victoria shared that the upgrades will include an updated concession area and lobby area, restroom, and entrances. Luxury Lounger recliners in every auditorium: electric-powered, oversized plush recliners for maximum movie-watching comfort.

The upgrades also include Two Cinemark XD auditoriums: premium large-format theaters with the biggest wall-to-wall screen in the building with an incredible surround system.

D-BOX motion seats that provide moviegoers with a complete immersive dimension to the cinematographic experience by perfectly synchronizing the action on the screen with individual motion control in the seats. Read more here.

LOOK: Things from the year you were born that don't exist anymore

The iconic (and at times silly) toys, technologies, and electronics have been usurped since their grand entrance, either by advances in technology or breakthroughs in common sense. See how many things on this list trigger childhood memories—and which ones were here and gone so fast you missed them entirely.
