It looks like the Dixie Drive-In was already closed in 1984. Capacity was about 300 cars.

Here is a 1984 photo:

Could also be that it was closed for the season since it was January 1984 that the photo was taken.
Both the Dixie Drive-In and the Rialto were part of the Commonwealth Theatres Chain.
Commonwealth closed both the Drive-In and the Rialto in 1985.
Very nice and clean Drive-in a Wal-Mart must have wanted that Drive-in ground.
It was at E. Race and Marion, not the site of the Walmart.

The above address will map more accurately to the entrance of the drive-in, which is visible on Google Earth using historic aerial imagery.
I Stand corrected, the older pictures at USGS Earth Explorer shows the whole area undeveloped.
Close on both counts. Approx. address for this drive-in was 2504 East Race Avenue. KFC is where the entrance was. Llama runs through where the theatre stood. Look for the curve and that’s about where it was.
