The Twin Drive-In opened on June 30, 1950. The screen tower was located in the center of the site, with a screen on each side. There were two projections booths and concession stands. The Twin Drive-In could acommodate 1,800 cars and had two seating areas for walk-in patrons, each seating 300. There was a playground located at the base of the screen tower.
It had been re-named Twilite Drive-In by 1961.
