The Ocala is one of the lucky winners from projectdrivein. ‘How sweet it is’ for the new owners to be able to convert to digital.

I lived here from 1949-1960. My dad was Ray Rogers who was the manager of the theatre under Ira Dyer and then Carl Howell. We lived inside the screen apt for a several years and then we moved into the house directly behind the drive-in parking lot. (not there anymore) I now live in Albany, Ky. I have such wonderful memories of the theatre, and am so glad it is still going strong. LONG LIVE OCALA DRIVE-IN !!!

Just an update thought anyone who has been long awaiting the Ocala Drive-In re-opening as long as I have may want to know that I happened to find. A grand opening date on the drive-in.com website today of July 29th. No other info as far as what the movies will be that day.

I didn’t include “lost” because he is no longer on CT. Hated to see Lost go,but i am sure he had his reasons.

The Ocala Drive-In is still being remodeled, but should be ready to open by June 2011. Please call them at 352-629-1325 to keep abreast of the actual opening date. They’re putting a tremendous amount of work into restoring the old drive-in and it should be pretty terrific once they’re ready.

Hey, Lost Memory. I think I saw that drive-in still standing while I was traveling towards Orlando and on the way back home. It was right on US 301/441. I’ll check if it got demolished or if it’s still standing when I get a chance to go there. I’ll let you know.

It looked that way with many tall weeds in sight though the screen is still there along with the drive-through ticket kios.

Chuck: I was recently in FL and happen to see this drive-in on 441 though wasn’t sure if it was still an operating drive-in. I think it is being used for a flea market now.
