You can see the ramps if you use Google Earth’s historical images or historicaerials.com. They disappeared around 2000.

It is hard to say if the Roosevelt was demolished or cannot be found in the forest that occupies the present location. When you cross Roosevelt Highway on I-285 going north you can look to your right and see where the Drive-in was.

Link to the Drive In ladder ad in the Atlanta paper on August 5, 1964. The blogger has also written up some of his memories of working at these places. Worth a look if you are interested in the drive in culture from 1970 – 1990.

The Roosevelt Drive-In is listed in the 1980 IMPA with a capacity for 700 cars.

To the best of my knowledge, the Roosevelt lasted until the early 1980s. I do remember they lowered thier admission to $2.00 a carload which would make that comparable to the dollar movie theaters. The drive-in remained single screen until it closed. Now the whole area looks like a forest.
