The owner was Ellis Theaters. Had THX sound. Closed in 1979 or 1980.

I believe the drive-in was actually in Ridley Township. It was located on Chester Pike hence the name. Was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a movie and your youth. Great snack bar with french fries that came in a wooden tub. Had live music at times and a small playground for kids. I95 runs through part of it now and there is nothing left but the lovely memories.

I remember going to the Chester Pike Drive-In as a child. We would get there before dark and my sister and I would play in the playground, and we even wore our pjs! It was a different and lovely world.
