I need to contact them to take photos before they do too much to the theatrey-ness of it all.

Architect, at least for the expansions of this location, was Vincent Raney.

Scott Neff commented about Glendale 9 Drive-In on Jun 7, 2007 at 5:16 pm

Designed as a 7-screen drive-in by Vincent Raney for Syufy Enterprises. This is one of the last Drive-Ins built by Syufy on 6/13/1979. It was later expanded into its current 9-screen configuration.

It is now operated as a West Wind drive-in.

Scott Neff commented about West Wind Drive-In on Jun 7, 2007 at 5:15 pm

This location is now operated by West Wind Drive-Ins.

It was originally a single screen that opened 2/7/1966 and was later expanded into six screens. A storm blew down most of the main screen, which has been closed for some time now.

The location operates year round with 5-screens.

Scott Neff commented about Scottsdale 6 Drive-In on Jun 7, 2007 at 5:13 pm

Vincent Raney is the architect of this drive-in that opened 2/7/1977.

I’ve seen plans that had it originally designed as the “Desert Drive-In” but was actually built as the Scottsdale Drive-In. Syufy later used the name Desert Drive-In for one of the drive-ins in Las Vegas.

West Wind Drive-Ins now operates this location.

Scott Neff commented about Coliseum Drive-In on Jun 7, 2007 at 5:11 pm

Vincent Raney was the architect of this Drive-In. The building is similar in design to the former Burlingame Drive-In and the Santa Barbara Twin Drive-In.

Opened 12/22/1961.

The chain is now “West Wind”.

Scott Neff commented about Santa Barbara Drive-In on Jun 7, 2007 at 5:09 pm

The Santa Barbara Twin Drive-In was originally built by Vincent Raney for Syufy Enterprises. I don’t know if Syufy ever actually ran it, but shortly after its construction it was traded to what became Metropolitan Theatres in exchange for the Geneva Drive-In in Daly City/San Francisco, CA.

After the lease with Metropolitan expired, it reverted back to Syufy which operates it now as the West Wind Goleta Public Market. Many upgrades to the property are in the works.

Scott Neff commented about Santa Clarita theater shortage on Oct 24, 2006 at 7:38 pm

I think it’s funny that people think the area is underscreened. I think Santa Clarita is fine, and that perhaps people are just so used to seeing a glut everywhere else.

Scott Neff commented about Who owns the Hillsboro 8? on May 7, 2006 at 6:18 pm

I doubt that anybody would re-open this theatre. The pictures I took on Cinematour were taken during rush hour and dear LORD was the traffic horrendous. It took me about 45 minutes just to get in and out of the parking lot.

And if I’m not mistaken, this theatre looks like it was built by Cineplex Odeon. Is that correct?

I believe the theatre was actually opened in 1948… somewhere I have an ad proclaiming the opening day.

Scott Neff commented about Century Stadium 14 Sacramento on Apr 30, 2004 at 10:05 am

I don’t believe any of the domes were built for Cinerama or D-150. The Century 21 in San Jose was built for 3-Strip Cinerama but it was never installed.

Scott Neff commented about 'Bittersweet' Closing in Greeley on Jan 13, 2004 at 2:04 pm

We took some decent pictures of the Bittersweet for Cinematour. You can check them out over there. As far as the Cooper Twin we couldn’t get good pictures of that place, the lobby was way too small to take anything without management freaking out. But it is SUCH a tacky 70’s theatre. It really is a sight to see.
