Before West End was built there was a fishing pond on that site. That is the reason for water issues.

This theater was not “muscled out” by the competition. The new Carousel IS West End Cinemas, built by the same company. For a short time, both theaters were open, but as soon as everything could get moved, it was moved.

Part of the reason this theater was abandoned, besides the better location of the Carousel at a new shopping center right off the Interstate, is because the building just wasn’t very good. There were some flooding issues and the walls were paper thin, causing a lot of sound bleedover in the theater you were sitting in from the next-door theater.

Here is an article about the 2009 sale of the property which includes a picture of the theater which will enlarge if clicked upon.
