Located around 52nd Street & State Avenue. The State Drive-In was opened as a single screen operation. On November 18, 1966 it reopened as a twin screen theatre with a capacity for 1,550 cars (800 in screen 1 and 750 in screen 2).
The site is now the city/county vehicle maintenance shop.

Was a really good deal to go to the State Twin…..used to go nearly every week.
The State was built as a twin screen Drive in. It was nearly identical to the Twin, North Twin and South Twin. And similar to the I70. All of these theaters were operated by Mid America Cinemas.
Approx. address for this drive-in was 5041 State Avenue. Now Car Hop. This one was massive as judged by the yard south of this location.
Yet another now-defunct KC-area drive-in. Sat next to the old Indian Springs Mall.
This opened on November 18th, 1966. Another ad posted.
