The actual closing date is September 26, 1986.
However, shortly after the Lisbon Drive-In closed, things went totally wrong. On November 2, 1986, vandals broke into the screen room and heavily damaged a Coastal Energy truck who was parked on the traces of the theater. The vehicle was severe damaged after the vandals smashed a grill, broke the lights, destroyed the wiper blades, and ripped the antenna off causing $1,000 in damages.
Last season: 1986
It opened on June 6th, 1952, with fireworks and free pony rides for the kiddies. Grand opening ad posted.
The Lisbon’s first appearance in the Theatre Catalog was in the 1952 edition. No capacity figure, owners Royal and John Boldue, Colebrook, N. H.
Boxoffice, Aug. 11, 1958: “Manager Joe Donahue of the Lisbon Drive-In at Lewiston, Me., passed out cigars to all female customers who would light them immediately as an on-the-premises promotion for "The Bonnie Parker Story.” (They were permitted to hand the cigars to their escorts after a few puffs.)"
The actual address for this Drive-in is 16 Jordan Rd, Lewiston, ME 04240.
This is the location of the entrance road which is still there.
Please update.
The address is 15 Foss Road, Lewiston, ME and the property is currently the site of a Coors distribution center. http://tinyurl.com/pe7soxf
The drive-in appears in a 1953 aerial photo, but by 1998 it was completely gone.
