A corral has been constructed where the screen once stood. All remaining traces of the drive-in are rapidly fading away.
Still operating in the early-1980s. A 1983 aerial view shows the theater with its screen and glory, and in operational condition. It was already closed by the early-1990s, as the screen is most likely gone in the 1994 view.
all of the ramps remain along with the entrance/exit road
Boxoffice, March 3, 1969: “Fred Ritter has taken over operation of the West Drive-In, Cody, Wyo., from Norman Bentz.”
Boxoffice, March 19, 1949: “Wyoming drive-ins to be completed for spring opening include the Motor Vu, Cheyenne; Skyline, Casper; Skyline, Rawlins and West, Cody.”
Admittedly, addresses on the edge of town can be tricky for Google Maps, especially with no cross street to anchor it down.
Having said that, 298 W Yellowstone Ave Cody, WY is very close. You can see the remains of the drive-in just to the east of the Cody Stampede Rodeo as pointed out by NYozoner. http://tinyurl.com/huxlnwc
