Actual closing date is August 26, 1969 with John Wayne’s “Hellfighters” and George Peppard’s “House Of Cards”.
Closed in 1969 just before the opening of the new Skyway Twin Drive-In.
The Skyway Drive-In Opened Its Gates On April 7th, 1948 With Her Husband’s Affairs. 2 Months Prior To The Skyway’s Opening, Coming Soon Messages Were Written All Over From January To February 1948. The Skyway Drive-In Continued To Run Movies Until 1968 And Was Used For Special Events Until 1976.
Billboard, Nov. 20, 1954: “ A major remodeling project has been started at Skyway Drive-In, Bryan. Tex., which is owned by Jack A. Farr, Houston. CinemaScope will be installed. Also in the plans are a new patio for the front area, a remodeled snack bar and new playground equipment. Capacity of the drive-in will be increased from 650 to 900 speakers. Farr also plans to install a swimming pool alongside the drive-in.”
Correction the Circle Drive-In was operated by Schulman Theatres BUT was located in College Station……….
