It was closed by Malco. I think UA sold it to Malco in 1980.

And never reopened again. I uploaded the Malco ad for September 12th, 1986 with “Skyvue Drive-In closed season” announcement.

In 1977, I managed this drive-in and was arrested for showing nudity on the screen facing the street: Revenge of the Cheerleaders.

The theater may had continued in the 1980s, but had closed by the early 1990s.

Appears to be used as a truck stop and some light towers might still exist.
