This drive-in closed in the late 80s, and has since been replaced by an upscale subdivision. It sat across from the Kahala Mall.

Local legend has it that the ghost of a faceless woman with long hair haunted the ladies' room of the drive-in. The Wai'alae was located close to an old cemetary.

The Wai'alae Drive-In, was a popular spot on Oahu. The drive-in was owned by The Royal Chain that also had another Drive-In on the island The Royal Sunset of in Waipahu and a few other theaters like the Marina, Royal, King & Queen. By the mid 80's The Royal Chain bowed out. The Marina was taken over by Consolidated and went on for a few more years before closing.
