This drive-in opened on May 18, 2007, featuring a 65 foot inflatable screen. The premiere feature was “Shrek the Third”. The drive-in was due be open year round but will close during the annual Orange County Fair. It never re-opened.

Unfortunately, this drive-in was forced to shut down after less than a year in operation. Constant interference from other Fairgrounds activity – most notably the Fair itself which caused the theatre to shut down during the prime months of July & mid-August – led to it’s demise
That was quick.
Bad planning maybe.
Pics I uploaded were from opening night of this short lived D/I. Opening feature was “Shrek The Third.” They initally only showed 1 feature but after a short time they started showing second features…but the catch was they charged separate admission and cleared out the entire lot once the first feature was done.
I see no good reason why they couldn’t try this again at an abandoned Circuit City lot or someplace. All they need is a troth of port-a-potties and a couple of food trucks and BOOM! :)
