Opened on November 21, 1954.
Half of the ramps still remain in a heavily wooded are next to a vacant lot with what appears to be a screen tower and ticket booth can anyone confirm this?
thanks…
Still open in Sept. 1985

The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in, which is visible on Google Earth using historic aerial imagery.
Thanks J.B.
Not living in Cornelia I cannot say exactly when the drive-in closed. I do remember that when the Grand first closed, the drive-in stayed open. After the Grand reopened, I don’t know if the drive-in closed or not. The last time I saw the Grand open it was playing Independence Day. (1996) I guess it closed after that because the next time I went through, it had been demolished.
I did not take any pictures of the drive-in the last time I went through Cornelia but you could see that some of the trees that surrounded it had been cut but you could still see the parking area.
Like I said, not living there, I cannot tell exactly when everything closed.
Hey,J.B. Bob needs some more info!
Open 1955-1980? I know for sure it was open in 1967.
Sure could use an address, more info and photos!
Thanks J.B. Did you think to snap a few pictures.
I remember this drive-in stayed open after the Grand closed. The last time I rode by which was about 8 years ago you could tell where the drive was. It looked like it had been closed for a while but was still standing but falling down.
