The short-lived Sunshine Mine Drive-In is the first drive-in theater to operate in Centerville since the closure of the Town & Country Drive-In in June 1986. The Sunshine Mine Drive-In was originally planned on October 17, 2002 by Nina Finch and Phil Radosevich (who are the then-current managers of the Majestic Theatre).

After a very slow start of construction beginning in January 2005, the Sunshine Mine Drive-In then opened its gates on August 7, 2005 with “Star Wars: Revenge of The Sith”, and the theater operated for only a few seasons. Unfortunately I cannot find its closing date.
