Closed on 26/2/2022;with “Ghostbusters Afterlife” and “Encanto”.
Whoever brought the drive-in site, are they going to operate the drive-in theatre themselves?
The market(swap meet?) will continue to operate after the drive-in closes in February 2022.
This was Australia’s first drive-in/walk in drive-in theatre.
The drive-in is also called Gepps Cross. here is two videos of the Mainline Drive-in on Youtube(Gepps Cross Drive-in and Ram-raid and fire at Gepps Cross Drive-in).
The drive-in reopened on 30/3/2017, with portable toilets and two food vans until the snack bar and toilets are rebuilt.
There was a fire at the drive-in on 28/3/2017 after a ram raid on the atm in the snack bar causing about $400,000 dollars(Australian). The atm and vechicle that did the ram raid were later found burnt out on train tracks. The drive-in owner hopes to reopen after the snack bar and power is restored. The swap meet is happening though.
Mainline Drive-in opened on 7/10/1956 with “Roman Holiday”. The drive-in is hoping to add a second screen!
