Approximate address appears to be 1012 W Franklin St, Sylvester, GA 31791. Worth County Health Department occupies the site with nothing left of the drive-in, not even the entrance road.
Appears to have closed by 1968 as the screen has been removed in an aerial photo from this year, the site was completely demolished and redeveloped by 1972.
The closest address for this one is Greenway Drive, Big Bear, CA 92315. The drive-in was located at this end of Big Bear Airport where the hangers are and part of the runway. It was there in 1969 but the airport is there in 1995.
Mission Hills Drive runs through the centre of where the ramps were and part of it does appear to be the exit road which is gated off from Mar Vista Drive.
It appears intact in a 1980 aerial, might of still been open then? Also the concession building stood until at least 2013, it can be seen on Google street view.
Approximate address is 337 Magnolia Drive, Raleigh, MS 39153. The snack-bar may still exist as the building in the middle of the lot. Was also closed by 1966. Looks like the site is used as storage for school buses.
The site is still being maintained because the grass is still mowed, also if you look on Google St view you can still see the ORIGINAL screen in ruins behind the trees. So they never removed the original screen.
Yep the ticket booth was still standing as of 2012 on Google Street View also back in 2008 the shelter over the ticket booth was there but gone by 2012. Also the snackbar appears to still exist and is being used as the office for the Budget Homes business on the site.
The site is now advertised as a storage space with a mix of warehouses, covered storage (which is probably what the above person thinks are trailers) and open area. The ramps, snackbar, screen and roadside marquee still exist as of June 2019. The screen looks like it could display a film tomorrow, it’s in great condition.

It might’ve closed a lot earlier, a 1966 aerial appears to show the concession building destroyed.
The entry road still exists and looks like it was turned into parking for the business on the site, gates may still exist as well.

The site has now been completely cleared and looks like its now farm land? Nothing at all now remains.
Mission Hills Drive runs through the centre of where the ramps were and part of it does appear to be the exit road which is gated off from Mar Vista Drive.
The streets where the drive-in was are named after golden age actors like Hepburn, Garbo, Bogart etc.
The 4 screen layout was one of the weirdest I’ve seen, uneven fields and screens in strange positions.
It’s not an empty field, the decaying ramps still exist along with the trees on the outline of the site. The entry/exit still exists as well.
Was still intact in 1993, also looks like its now farm land however the concession building is still there.
A 1992 aerial shows it still intact with screen and by 1998 it was levelled with no trace left. Probably closed between 1994 and 1998.
It looks like the roadside sign may still exist and is now used for the Route Self Storage business on the site.
