Opened on March 29, 1948. Despite the 1982 aerial view showing the drive-in with everything, a 1984 topo does not show the drive-in being listed, meaning that this has to be closed sometime in the early-1980s. As mentioned above, it was already gone by the early-1990s as Weis was built at the site.

Unlike most drive-ins, the Starlite is one of a few drive-ins that allows people to store airplanes on the drive-in property. The nearby Skyhaven Airport used a small portion of the Starlite to store aircraft.
