Boxoffice, Aug. 10, 1970: “Walt Allen sold the Corral Drive-In, Moline, Ill., to Redstone Management of Boston."
The Dispatch of Moline IL reported on April 3, 1956, that high winds pushed the Corral’s screen forward into its playground area that afternoon, destroying the screen.
“The Ski-Hi, Rock Island, Ill., changed its name to the Corral.” – The Exhibitor, July 11, 1951
‘Al Aved, 100-Twin Drive-In, has taken over operation of the Corral, outdoor stand, Moline, Ill.“ – The Exhibitor, July 25, 1951
This opened as the Sky-Hi Drive-In on July 25th, 1950. It reopened the Corral Drive-In in May 1951 and closed in 1982.
A more accurate address for this theater is now 3501 69th Ave, Moline, IL 61265. This points directly to the drive in itself.
