Was mentioned in the documentary “Drive-In Movie Memories” in 2001.
Listed in 1975 with a capacity for 800 cars.
The Gulf Drive-In was owned by Martin Theatres. Opened in 1955 – closed in 1980. Martin had another drive-in called the Isle of View on N. Everette, anyone have info on that one? Open from 1955 thru 1985 also.
I just found the listing on CT for the Isle of View.
Correction to the introductory sentence for the Gulf Drive-In theatre: the Isle of View Drive-In theatre was in the Springfield community of Panama City, Florida (as mentioned by Chuck1231 above). The Gulf Drive-In theatre was in downtown Panama City between Harrison Avenue and Cove Blvd (now MLK Blvd) on East 15th Street as noted by the map link shown above.
Does anyone have information on the old theatre that once existed on Long Beach Resort that became home to the “Noah’s Arc” before being demolished in the 1970’s? It was located almost opposite of the former Petticoat Junction amusement park on Hwy 98.
See my entry for the Isle of View Drive-In for a more accurate location of it on Everitt Avenue in Springfield
Does anyone have pictures of either drive-in? I’m doing a site www.abandonedgulfcoast.com and you’d get full credit for your pictures.
