The Sky Vue Drive-In did not reopen in 2016. Its future is uncertain, as the operators are still attempting to raise funds for a digital projector. The same operators run the Motor Vue, also in Idaho Falls, which was open in 2016 running 35mm films.
it has since been demolished.

The comment by dansdriveintheater is actually referring to a different theater in Twin Falls. As of November 2020, the Sky-Vu in Idaho Falls is still standing, but will likely be gone by spring 2021 as a new owner has announced plans for an RV resort on the site.
