Appears to have been closed by 1979, the drive-in looks intact in this year but a road has been created going through the ramps probably indicating the start of redevelopment.
A building on the Calleen St side may be the old ticket box and from aerial photos it may still be standing. It can be seen on a 2008 Google street view image.
Found this one, the road must’ve changed over the years. I spotted it in a 1956 aerial photo. Northway Plaza Shopping Center now occupies most of the site and was built over the rear ramps. For a while the front half/3 quarters of ramps were still visible, in around the early 2000’s a road was created going through them and now you can only make out parts of them between the trees. The address is 1584 White Mountain Hwy, North Conway.
I’d say the Links Hotel is the Hotel with renovations done, the shape is pretty much the same as in the render/drawing and there’s still a petrol station next door just like in the drawing. So yes, the hotel/motel is still there now called the Links Hotel.
Seating CAN’T be replaced because it’s actually heritage listed but it can be repaired and they really do need to repair a lot of them. Also the theatre actually has all its screens, behind the current cinema-scope “super screen” is the older one from the 1950’s and behind that is the ORIGINAL 30’s screen. Also I’d like to see the original auditorium glass lights return as those looked a lot better than the current chandelier lights. Also my major gripe with the new management is how they refuse to use the upstairs snack bar, I’ve been to screenings here where the line for food has literally gone out the door and down the street. This could easily be fixed if they re-opened the upstairs foyer snack bar. Oh yeah and its also pay by card only which is kind of a pain.
The address above may have been correct at the time it was open but a current correct address is now 260 McClintock Dr, El Paso. Crossroads Valley Apartments is now on the site.
This one was located at approximately 5734 MS-145, Macon, MS 39341. Penick Forest Products occupies the site. The drive-in had been completely demolished by 1972.
You can see the how the renovations changed the theatre on historic aerials if you look at the 1957 year then the 1964 year.

Looks like its being used as a parking lot for Midwest Logistics Systems but the drive-in still seems intact.
The original ticket box was right in the middle of this entrance foyer where the plant is.

Now New Century Technology High School.
May have still been operating in 1981, an aerial photo from that year appears to show it still intact.
Closed sometime before 1970
Sad state, thanks for the update and photos.
The concession building absolutely remains, you get a good look from google street view. Its a double story deal with the projection booth on top.
The concession building is definitely still there, probably used for equipment storage for the sport fields or a club house/facility.
The original capacity might’ve been around 200-250 cars, a 1963 aerial photo shows the back half of the ramps being created.

The drive-in was actually a couple of blocks down at 4849 W Western Ave.
The ramps and projection building or foundation of it lasted until 2017/18 when the entire lots soil had been regraded for agricultural use.
Looks like its used as a car park, the foundation of the screen structure still remains.
Built in the late 60’s or early 70’s. it was a smallish site with short ramps.
Didn’t last very long, a 1962 aerial appears to show it derelict.
Could you upload the photos here?

Apparently it opened in June 1951.
