The Gemini Drive-In opened in 1945 with the car capacity listed at 473. After 60 years of operation the Gemini Drive-In closed in 2005.
Any further information on this ozoner would be appreciated.

This appears very likely to be the Gemini Drive-in that other sources place in nearby Medicine Hat, Alberta. The car capacity is the same and the address similar. If so, there are pictures here: View link
Chris, on that same site it lists the two seperately, so it is a little confusing.

The Drive-In Movie Theatres lists the Gemini in in Redcliff near Medician Hat.

Then there is a article stating that Redcliff was the first to establish a drive-in in Alberta and after 60 years it closed in 2005.

I think though the photographic evidence in the two photo galleries for both theaters on the Waymaking site you cited, Chuck, at least suggests that the two theaters listed are the same. If you expand the photos of the screen in both entries, the screen in both seems to be built on a mound and has what appears to be the same black band at the bottom. I find it hard to believe that such a relatively rural area in a Canadien province that never had very many drive-ins at all would have two named Gemini so close together, but I suppose it is possible.
I agree with you that they reflect the same similarities but I, from the articles believe the drive-in was in Redcliff and not in Medicine Hat.
I am not disagreeing with that, Chuck.
Some reason it did not make the 1956 printing of the 1956 motion Picture Almanac.
