On January 16, 2012, Cinemark Fort Collins 16 became national headlines following the disappearance of a 66-year-old Loveland man named George DeGrazio, who had been missing for a week. According to moviegoers, the man was found dead after suffering a heart attack while using a small family restroom, seven days into his disappearance.
On May 17, 1952, two medical students who finished watching the double feature of “The Marrying Kind” and “Okinawa” at the Loew’s State Theatre found a 55-year-old New York Central railroader dead in his seat after a fatal heart attack. He was transported by Crouse-Irving ambulance but was already pronounced dead during response.
Both 1972 and 1983 aerial views show the Hi-Way 82 Drive-In with its screen and glory, and in operating shape as well. Despite being gone by the early-1990s, the screen managed to stand for a while after Marshall Drive was made.
The projection booth/concession stand and traces continued to survive into the remainder of the 1980s but was vanished by trees during the early-1990s. The booth also turned into foundations as well.
The Auto Vue most likely opened around 1954, as a 1952 aerial view shows empty land, while a 1955 aerial view shows the theater in fairly new condition. A 1965 aerial view shows some very small buildings being placed on traces, but I don’t know if that cause the theater to close.
The Dekalb Drive-In most likely opened during the mid-1950s. A 1954 aerial view shows the drive-in hasn’t constructed yet, but was already operational by 1959. The second screen most likely opened during the early-1980s. It appears operational in the 1988 aerial view but was gone by 1997.

Screen was gone by 1972.
Early-1990s, right after Marshall Drive was created.

Opened in April 1954, and closed during the late-1970s.
Already gone by 1960.
Traces appeared to be visible for decades after closure, despite landscape growth during the 1980s.
Still intact in 1983.
This probably most likely closed by 1958. The aerial from that year shows the traces being mostly wiped. And is it just me or is the screen tipping?
Most likely closed in the 1960s. It was already wiped by 1975 but the faded traces are still visible.
Definitely most likely closed in the mid-1980s.
Still operating in the early-1980s, but was already closed by the mid-1990s.
Wiped by 1972.
Question: Is the Rebel and the Madison the same drive-in or two separate drive-ins?
A 1982 aerial view shows the theater with its screen and glory, most likely in operating shape.
Visible in the 1966 aerial but was gone by the early-1980s.
The Wade Theatre needs its own CT page.
A 1977 aerial view shows the theater still standing with its screen and glory, but was already gone by the early-1980s.
Most likely closed in early 1959.
Most likely still intact in the 1974 aerial view but was gone by 1980. However, the screen remained standing until sometime in the mid-1980s.
The Dekalb Drive-In most likely opened during the mid-1950s. A 1954 aerial view shows the drive-in hasn’t constructed yet, but was already operational by 1959. The second screen most likely opened during the early-1980s. It appears operational in the 1988 aerial view but was gone by 1997.
Expanded to five screens during the 1980s.
