Hey Don…The screens were still there the last time I drove by, which was probably a month ago. We’re going to the Stock Show Saturday ( if the weather holds ) & I’ll be sure to drive by & see…

Hey Danny. I had read that the land had been purchased for drilling.
Do you know if they have torn anything down? Are the signs and screens still standing?
Thanks!

This drive-in was actually called the Fort Worth Twin. There was a Tower Theatre, but it was an indoor theatre in the Riverside/Haltom City area. The Fort Worth Twin opened in 1953 and was billed as “World’s Largest Twin Drive-In” in the advertisement for the Grand Opening in the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram. It lasted until the late 70’s or early 80’s. The lot was actually much lower than the ground is today as alot of fill dirt and material was dumped there after it closed. They’ve been clearing some of it out lately so they can drill for natural gas on the site.
The name of the drive in across Interstate 30 is/was The MEADOWBROOK Drive In. It is being used as a Holding place for Dumpsters for “I Think” Waste Management.. The Screen is in decent condition still, after all of these years of sitting not being used. at one time, someone was going to try to re-open the MeadowBrook. BuT, that fell thru……

I have been driving by the Twin Towers for 8 years and just discovered another drive in directly north accross Interstate 30. The screen is still standing along with a painted over marquee. It seems to be serving as a construction company yard. Anyone out there know the name?
