The “new” larger Hager Drive In was opened by the Ridenour family in July 1966. The reason the Drive in was named the “Hager Drive” was because the signage from the Williamsport “Hager Drive” was purchased and transplanted to the “new” Hager Drive In". My dad owned the Henry’s Theatre in Hagerstown and had arranged to purchase the drive in located in Williamsport from Mrs. Unger. He planned to introduce the new radio broadcast sound as well as the other innovations that were available for drive in theaters. At about the same time the new interstate highway system was planned adjacent to the property. This made the value much greater if used for another purpose. Initially the land was divided into parcels. The first one was for a Sunoco station, the second was for a Shell station and the third became a “Days Inn”.
