The Starnite Drive-In was located south of New Rockford on what is now US Highway 281. It was opened in 1958 with Lana Turner in “Peyton Place”. The drive-in was owned and operated by Kenneth Brandhagen. It was closed in 1981. It remained closed for 10-years until Kenneth Brandhagen’s son reopened it on August 2, 1991 with “Naked Gun 2 ½:The Smell of Fear”. It only lasted a short while and some later point it was closed and demolished.
Today, a building stands on the site with no sign of the drive-in left.

The Starnite Drive-In Was First Operated By Kenneth Brandhagen And Opened On An Unknown Date In 1958 With Lana Turner In “Peyton Place".
The Starnite Closed Its Gates In 1981 And Sat Abandoned For Nearly 10 Years Until It Had A Surprise Comeback When His Son Reopened The Starnite On August 2, 1991 With “The Naked Gun 2½”.
This Apparently Didn’t Last Long And Closed Later On During The Decade. It Was Demolished To Make Way For The North American Bison Building Which Was Opened During The Mid-1990s.
