The Fairyland Twin Drive-In closed in the 1980’s. It was razed to make way for an apartment complex. Capacity was about 1,500 cars.

When the Fairyland Drive-In opened in 1964 it was a single screen, do you know when it ws twinned?
Thanks to whomever posted the great shot of the entrance! I saw many a schlocky horror film here in the late 70’s. I miss both the amusement park and drive-in.
The biographical listing of architect John C. Monroe in the 1962 AIA Directory lists the Fairyland Drive-In, Kansas City, Mo., as one of his 1961 projects.
The drive-in was associated with an adjacent amusement park, Fairyland Park, which dated back to the 1920s. Here is a 1987 photo of the drive-in’s sign and attraction board, by Flickr user Darrell James.
Thanks Joe.
