The Sky Vue Drive-In did not reopen in 2016. Its future is uncertain, as the operators are still attempting to raise funds for a digital projector. The same operators run the Motor Vue, also in Idaho Falls, which was open in 2016 running 35mm films.

The comment by dansdriveintheater is actually referring to a different theater in Twin Falls. As of November 2020, the Sky-Vu in Idaho Falls is still standing, but will likely be gone by spring 2021 as a new owner has announced plans for an RV resort on the site.
