After closing for the season on September 6, 1982 with “The Concrete Jungle” and “Incubus”, the West Point reopened as a full-time adult drive-in at the start of the 1983 season. It wasn’t until 1985 when mainstream movies made a brief return to the West Point, but only a small amount was shown.

The West Point Drive-In ran its last normal movies on August 8, 1985 with “Cocoon” and “Moving Violations”, before finishing the remainder of the season with adult movies, closing on September 15 of that same year.
