I’m very sure it could be either its first or second attraction.
One movie: “Apartment for Peggy” Another ad posted.
Its very strange that its grand opening attraction doesn’t display its first attraction, but does say that it comes along with an unnamed cartoon and a newsreel.
Renamed Highway 70 Drive-In for the 1956 season and reopened on March 29th, 1957 as the Star Drive-In and closed later in 1957.
The 70 Drive-In opened on August 27th, 1949 and reopened as the Fountain Lake 70 Drive-In on March 4th, 1955. Grand opening ads posted.
The screen lasted for quite some time after the drive-in was demolished. It became engulfed in the trees and stood intact until at least 2001. And perhaps partially intact up to 2013.
Today, you can just see part of the screen foundation through the trees. Whether it was demolished or simply fell apart over time I cannot say.
It appears that it closed in the 1970s. It was gone by 1983.
The address is:
