I grew up in Skyline Acres 1963-1971, this was my favorite place to see movies as a kid, they had an immense playground! I remember seeing comedies like “Munster Go Home”, “The Ghost & Mr. Chicken”, Disney films like “The Aristocats”, and war movies like “The Green Berets”. A real family-oriented Drive-In.
On Google street view the address 1375 is nearly the same as the camera shot. the 2 driveways are about the same as the entrance-exits to the drive in. The MtH was prob tied with Wyoming for 3rd best drive-in in Cincinnati behind Jolly Roger (1) and Ferguson Hills (2). Just a great, well run neighborhood DI .
In 1963, this drive-in was operated by Lou Wiethe. Car capacity was 575 per the motion picture almanac of that year.
Was a cinder block drive in theatre in Mt Healthy, Ohio. They used to run Dawn to Dusk movies when I was in high school (early 80’s). My grandfather Harry H Shafer built the theatre. I have a key chain which says “The Park-IN Theatre, Mt Healthy, Ohio, The Auto Theatre of Tomorrow”, apparently the keys go to the gate and the snack bar.
The other Mt Healthy Drive-In was located at 6 Monroe Drive
The address listed for this drive-in is 1370 Compton Rd.
