Cinerama Windjammer in Cinemiracle played for three weeks starting on July 6th, 1960. The other Cinerama drive-in was in Inglewood CA’s Century Drive-In. Also uploaded its grand opening ad and aerial photo in the photo section for this cinema.
Super 50 Drive in was twinned somewhere along its history. The land now houses a storage facility and I believe a hardware store, the hardware store was built as a discount beverage center which later closed down, most likely because the are the Drive-In was located is still rural. They named the road going into the storage area Super 50 Way. I have pictures somewhere of the lot and consession stand which was all that was left when I visited the sight in the late 1990’s. When I locate them I will scan them and upload them. This drive-In had a plaground one of the photo’s I took was of a swing, it looked kind of like a horse with grips on either side of the head, I remember similar ones at the Vail Mills D-I in Broadalbin.
The Super 50 opened on May 15, 1957, according to a May 27 note in Motion Picture Daily.
