This opened in 1951 and closed during the 1980s. A 1985 aerial view shows the drive-in, but I cannot confirm if the screen was standing or not. I’m very sure it was still standing because of the shadow.

Donald Duck’s first appearance is on opening too, very unique.

Edited from my December 20, 2023 (8:16 PM) comment:

The projection booth remained standing until the early-2000s.

A 1986 aerial view shows the drive-in in good condition with its screen and glory, but I cannot tell if its still operating at the time.

The concession building appears to be standing after closure, but that was gone by the early-2000s.

A 1980 aerial view shows the theater with its screen and glory, but was already wiped complete by 1985. Foundations of the screen appeared to be standing alongside faded traces. Both vanished by the early-2000s.

The concession building managed to stand after being demolished during the late-1980s. It was removed in the mid-2000s.

The screen appears to be gone by 1991.

A 1983 aerial view shows the theater with everything, but nearly half of the traces began to vanish by 1987.

50sSNIPES commented about Traverse Drive-In on Mar 15, 2026 at 6:53 am

Various 1980s aerials show the drive-in with its screen and glory. Its traces began to fade in the 1983 aerial view, but was most likely redone by 1986. It was already gone by 1993 when Mount Hope Road was created, but traces and the concession building foundations are still visible. As of 2026, only a small smidge of the traces is still visible, as well as the base of the former concession building.

A 1982 aerial view shows the drive-in, but I cannot tell its condition. It appears that the traces looked rough.

The screen was gone by 1984, meaning that this closed sometime in the early-1980s.

Both 1985 and 1986 aerial views show the theater with its screen and glory, but was already gone by 1992.
