This location is now operated by West Wind Drive-Ins.

It was originally a single screen that opened 2/7/1966 and was later expanded into six screens. A storm blew down most of the main screen, which has been closed for some time now.

The location operates year round with 5-screens.

Went to this passion pit a few times in my senior year. Saw Phantasm there. Look in the rear view mirror, and I could watch Inframan! What a gonzo time!

Actually,"Phantasm" played at the Desert 5 drive in. I still have the ticket stub,which Angus Scrimm(The Tall Man)autographed for me at a sci-fi a few years ago.

I DID see "Star Wars" here though.

We were out there last night. Funny to see all the films showing on the big screens. We have very few operating drive-ins left in SoCal. Here is another view of the marquee:

Was mentioned in the documentary "Drive-In Movie Memories" in 2001.

This drive-in was designed by Vincent G. Raney, architect of virtually all of the Syufy-Century theaters from the 1960s through the 1980s. Start of construction was announced in the July 5, 1965, issue of Boxoffice Magazine. The theater was to have space for 1200 cars, and the largest screen in Nevada.
