The Kigalia Drive-In was opened on June 18, 1955. Located south of the town of Blanding, UT. Number of cars unknown? Possibly 1 screen? It was closed in 1964 and by 1997 a baseball park had been built on most of the drive-in property. Still a rusted out sign(marquee?) there.
Note: In 1958 Floyd Nielson & Sons who owned and operated the Kigalia Drive-In built and opened the Frontier Theatre at the entrance to the dive-in.

The Kigalia (note the single L) was at 200 North Grayson Parkway according to an excellent summary at UtahTheatres.info. That site says that the drive-in was built by Floyd Nielson and Sons, who opened it on June 18, 1955, and that it closed in 1964.
San Juan Record, April 21, 1955: “Norman and Connie Nielson announce that construction is now under way for their drive-in theater, and will be rushed to completion for the coming season. They will have the most modern equipment available with eighty foot screen and accommodations for three hundred cars. They have an engineer from Salt Lake and as soon as the equipment arrives, the steel man will come and erect the screen. Opening date will be announced later.”
