Comments about US 1 North Drive-In in Fairless Hills, PA

A closer address is 380 Lincoln Hwy, Fairless Hills, PA.

Google Maps seems to have shifted the old address about a mile west of the drive-in. This is the address of the Woodcrest Village Apartments which sits right next to the old entrance road.

Today, there is not much left of the drive-in, but you can still see the outline, ramps, entrance/exit roads, and foundation of the concession stand/projection booth.

I was a DM for Sameric when this reopened in 1986, after closure for several seasons. The reopening night had traffic backed up in both directions on Rte 1. When we went to survey the property before the reopened we saw that at tree had grown right in front of one of the screens. Wild times at this theater.

Opened on 6/12/1968 with “Deadfall” and “Lady in cement”.

Conceptualized as a $3 million project, Samuel Shaprio had plans by Armand Carroll and Sydney Jelinek (in photos) that included a 150-room Fairless Hills Motel in which speakers would allow guests to watch the films along with the 1,500 capacity car lot. The projection was slated to be 70mm capable.

299 Lincoln Hwy. is across the highway from where the theater stood. That address points to 84 Lumber. The drive in next to Queen Anne Creek is across from Peruzzi Collision at 275 Lincoln Hwy. It is in between 260 and 270 (does not map). Most ramps and concession foundation are still visible. FYI.

The above address will map to the location of the drive-in.

if i had the money, i reopen this drive in theater, but keep it as a single screen theater, seeing that’s how the theater was originally laid out as.

PLEASE CHANGE ADDRESS TO:

260 US 1

The address 390 Lincoln Highway (US 1) is way off. The new address is as close an address as you can get to the Drive-In. You can see the remains of the Drive-In Southeast of the Red Dot on the Map.

Held 900 cars.

Torn down in 1991 and the screen was used at the Pike in Pennsylvania.

More info and photos are always welcome.
