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 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.

When the Fairyland Drive-In opened in 1964 it was a single screen, do you know when it ws twinned?
