Opened by William “Buddy” Wood in 1970, not sure on date of closure. I believe I have found its location, the address was 701 Bodden Town Road Grand Cayman KY1, 1601, Cayman Islands. It was located behind the Everglo Bar, the concession building and faint ramp markings can be seen in a 2004 aerial image. Today the site is overgrown.
Found it, its not even in Mont Dore. Pont des Francais is the suburb/region where the drive-in was located. The approximate address is actually Rue Togo & Avenue des Deux Baies, Nouméa, New Caledonia. If the drive-in is closed as per the above then it appears to still be fully intact and in good condition, I’ve added a 2019 aerial photo.
The closest address is the gate of the base, Carr. Cr Ca, 11520 El Puerto de Sta María, Cádiz, Spain. The drive-in is located to the left of this location, it also looks to have open air seating for walk-in patrons.
I think this may be the Maple Drive-In, address is apparently 21 Liangmaqiao Rd, San Yuan Qiao, Chaoyang, Beijing. However Google Maps seems to not map roads in China correctly. This drive-in also has a website here: http://www.drive-in.com.cn/
Looks like it was on the top of a hill, possibly open until 2008 as it appeared intact until then in aerial photos. Was demolished in 2009, nothing remains.
The site still exists and the ramps have been sealed/tarred over. It appears its now used as an event space. Nothing other than the actual lot remains.
The drive-in stood until 2009, has now been redeveloped into John Moller Estate, a gated community. Also the concession building may have been turned into housing in the estate but its hard to tell.
I think I found it, it was located at the end of Clark Ave, Wiggins. The ramps can be faintly seen on a 1982 aerial. The concession building my remain but its hard to tell.
Actually a closer address is 5464 US-11, Ellisville. The drive-in was next to the plaza motel, the roadside marquee still stands and the remains of the concession building also remain.
The entrance road still exists along with possibly the roadside marquee. Also interestingly, the bowling place “Bennington Lanes” is still there and has been there since at least 1965 when the drive-in was still operating.
As of 2016 the concession stand has been demolished with only the foundation remaining and the second screen may still be standing. Ramps are also still there.
The site is now Parks Livestock and it appears the concession building still exists but its been redeveloped into some kind of holding pen for livestock.
Looks like part of it was a used car lot, it can be seen on Google Street view in 2012, they also used the old ticket building (which was large!) as their office. The ticket building was there until at least 2015, the site has now been redeveloped into a gas station/road house.
The site where the drive-in was now appears to be part of Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, so I don’t think anything will be built in it’s place.
I believe I have found this one, it was located at the site now occupied by Roper’s Collision Center. Address is 2250 Union Point Hwy, Greensboro, GA 30642. The drive-in was there in 1955 and gone by 1971 with only the concession building and screen remaining, by 1993 it appears they were also demolished. Nothing remains of the drive-in today.
It was still there in 1981, may have operated into the early 1980’s? The derelict concession building still exists along with what appears to be the screen foundation and the entrance marquee foundation.
Its marked on Google Maps, the approximate address is Rdguez Morini, La Habana, Cuba.

Not sure on opening date but closing date is roughly 2012 as aerial photos show the screen removed in this year.

Now Manchester Valley Industrial Park, the drive-in was still open in 1965.
The entrance road still exists along with possibly the roadside marquee. Also interestingly, the bowling place “Bennington Lanes” is still there and has been there since at least 1965 when the drive-in was still operating.
Calvary Christian Church of the Apostolic Faith now occupies the site.
As of 2016 the concession stand has been demolished with only the foundation remaining and the second screen may still be standing. Ramps are also still there.
The screen was standing until April 2004. Now only the entrance road and concession building foundations remain.
Approximate address is Metro Park Dr & N McDonald St, McKinney. This end of Metro Park Dr was the entrance/exit road for the drive-in.
The site is now Parks Livestock and it appears the concession building still exists but its been redeveloped into some kind of holding pen for livestock.
Not sure if Google has changed the mapping but a more accurate address street number is 3156 US-93.

This drive-in was on the same road as the Midway and were actually very close to each other, looks like this one lasted longer though.
