The current address listed at one time worked at one time with Goggle maps. It does not work…..this will: US-40 & Spry Rd. Zanesville, OH 43701. Zanesville is listed for other addresses in the area and it works for now. To me cross streets work the best at times….this is one of them. This is why I want to start using GPS coordinates along with a numbered street addresses for drive-in theatres. With GPS you can lock into the concession stand/screen tower/parking ramps for exact locations. Since a lot drive-ins were out in country they never had numbered street address. If you don’t know how to use GPS, just cut and paste it into the same box you would write address and search. To get the GPS address on goggle maps just right or left click the location and it will come up.
The Drive-In has been a landmark in Tiffin for 71 years. Many residents both young and old remember loading up the car and heading down SR 53 to see a double feature and indulge in movie theater snacks. Generations of Tiffinites enjoyed movies from these screens but over time they have become unable to be repaired. The new owner Michael Cole saw the repairs needed and decided to make changes to the Drive-In to update them.
The 71-year-old screen #1 was retired as of October 1. It will be replaced with a new screen the same size as the old one. The new screen will come with a reflective paint to enhance the quality of movies on the screen.
The Drive-In’s new screen will be built by Jerry Selby, a Richfield Ohio native. Selby and his family have built drive-in screens all around the world for theaters. The new #1 screen will be unveiled by October 14 or 15. Cole plans on having a screen premiere event night and the new screen will be used regularly starting the weekend of October 16-18, if all according to plan.
A new screen #2 is set to be built by Selby. This new screen will stand in the grassy area of the northeast corner. However, the screen will not show movies until the next season as there will be new equipment added and moved.
Halloween weekend will feature adult and children programming. As of now, the Halloween weekend is set to be the last weekend of the Drive-In’s season.
The Tiffin Drive-in has been sold by Saunders Theater Properties.
TIFFIN, Ohio — The former Field of Dreams Drive-In Theater on State Route 53 is now under new ownership.
According to a release from the Tiffin-Seneca Economic Partnership, freelance writer and entrepreneur Mike Cole recently purchased the theater and plans to improve it with a $200,000 investment.
Changes will include two new screens: an 84-foot-wide screen replacing the original and an additional permanent 44-foot-wide screen. They will be constructed by Selby Products of Richfield.
“We are excited to bring the Tiffin Drive-In Theater into the next era and help it to continue to be a unique attraction in Seneca County for many years to come,” Cole said.
Construction on the primary screen is expected to start in September and followed shortly after by the second screen which may not be operational during the 2020 season.
The Saunders Family from Liberty Center Ohio are now the new owners of the Van-Dell Drive-In. They operate and own the Field of Dreams and Tiffin Drive-In.
