Opened with Dan Dailey in “Meet Me At The Fair” along with a few shorts and an unknown comedy.

According to its last owner, Fred Nelson, he replied that he closed down the Northland Drive-In on July 6, 1986 for a few good reasons. One reason is crime which involves people stealing items, break-ins, vandalism, and even people stealing letters from the marquee a total of 12 times. Throughout the 1985 season contains nine break-ins in total. And the other reason is the deterioration which its condition got worse by the end of its life.
