kennerado commented about Cine' Parc Venus Drive-In on Jan 2, 2020 at 6:49 pm

The entrance road is one of the longest I’ve ever seen! The roadside marquee was still there in a 2013 Google Street view image. Also it says the name was actually Cine Parc Venus which makes more sense, probably needs to be updated on here.

Looks like its now a junkyard, the concession building and screen were actually both still standing in a 2016 aerial photo.

Was possibly still operating in the early 1980’s, it was still fully intact in a 1982 aerial photo.

A current address for this former drive-in is 460 Wincoram Way, Coram, NY 11727. This will map to a business almost directly in the middle of where it was. If you want the actual address where the entrance road was, that’s now 396 Middle Country Rd. Also the entrance drive-way and marquee existed up until 2013 on Google Street View.

Part of the site is a Hyundai dealer but most of the land where the actual drive-in was is a Nissan dealer. Most of the site still existed up to 1996 with concession building and screen standing in this year in an aerial.

Some of the ramps are still visible at the back of the property. The front part of the lot is now International Plaza, a business center.

No its not, its actually still there vacant and overgrown. The concession stand foundation and ticket box remains are still there. The closest address is 37 Tobins Rd, St. John’s, NL A1E 6A3. This maps directly to the property next door.

Finally found this one, the address is 1321 Williams Beach Road, Courtenay, BC V0R. The ramps can still be seen in the tree formations. According to this listing when the site was for sale, the concession building still existed:

The site currently appears to be occupied by Triple R Modular Home Sales. The concession building also still appears to exist.

Approximate address is 1596 Grand Lake Rd, Sydney, NS B1M 1A1, Canada. A self-storage business is on part of the site, some very faint remains of the ramps can be seen and on some older aerial images the foundation of the concession building can be seen.

This drive-in still exists, screen and concession building both still stand. There’s a silhouette of a black hawk on top of the screen and on the concession building, this can be seen really well on a 2009 Google Street view image.

kennerado commented about Napanee Drive-In on Dec 30, 2019 at 9:13 pm

A closer street number, at least for Google Maps is 137. The drive-in is directly opposite this house and actually appears to be still fully intact with screen, concession building and ticket box remaining. Also worth noting is the site has been cleaned up in the newest aerial image from 2017 which shows the ramps mowed and tress around the concession building removed, possibly being prepared for re-opening?

kennerado commented about Twilite Drive-In on Dec 30, 2019 at 8:51 pm

I think I found the location, the ramps can still faintly be seen but the entire site has been demolished with nothing remaining. The address is 11 Ave W & W Entrance Rd, Unity SK S0K 4L0.

Looks like the screen was stacked on top of shipping containers.

Its marked on Google Maps, the approximate address is Rdguez Morini, La Habana, Cuba.

kennerado commented about Everglo Drive-In on Dec 29, 2019 at 4:30 am

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.

kennerado commented about E. De Veer Drive-In on Dec 28, 2019 at 11:18 pm

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

kennerado commented about Hickson Drive-In on Dec 27, 2019 at 10:04 pm

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.

kennerado commented about Maple Drive-In on Dec 26, 2019 at 9:01 pm

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/

It looks like its still open.

kennerado commented about Top Star Drive-In on Dec 26, 2019 at 8:28 pm

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.

kennerado commented about Durban Drive-In on Dec 26, 2019 at 7:55 pm

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.

kennerado commented about Malmesbury Drive-In on Dec 26, 2019 at 7:41 pm

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.
