This theatre opened in 1975, and closed when the owner passed away in November, 2005. It is scheduled for demolition in July of 2022.

I agree with Kenmore, there is no evidence this was anything but a walk in theatre.

Question: Was this theater really a “drive-in”? I’m asking because I see no evidence that it was, only that it was a typical walk-in twin theater.

Recent pictures show that the Thunderbird Twin Cinemas made a clever adaptation of an updated “OLD West” style by using native stone and a covered proch,

There was also the Tri-State Drive-In in Miami in the early sixties, along with the Thunderbird and Sooner drive-ins.
