This opened in August 1975 as the first drive-in to have radio sound instead of the traditional speakers. On April 2nd, 1976 it reopened as Ciné-Parc Pont Mericer as Quebec’s only adult drive-in, which was against the law in Quebec. It closed down in 1978 and the screen was demolished in 2011 when the owner heard kids climbing on it. He tried to reopened it in the 1990’s but it was too expensive to get the movies.
Cela a ouvert en août 1975 comme le premier drive-in d'avoir le son de la radio au lieu des haut-parleurs traditionnels. Le 2 avril 1976, il a rouvert le rôle de Ciné-Parc Pont Mericer en tant que seul adulte au Québec, ce qui était contraire à la loi au Québec. Il a fermé en 1978 et l'écran a été démoli en 2011 quand le propriétaire a entendu des enfants l'escalade sur elle. Il a essayé de le rouvrir dans les années 1990 mais c'était trop cher pour obtenir les films.

Today a more accurate address is 2 Sports Complex Rd, Kahnawake, Quebec. The drive-in was behind this business, the rough outline of the drive-in can still be seen, also there is a white building in the spot where the concession building was.
This was planned as far back as 1953, but the Quebec Government said no.
What was the original name of this one when it opened in August of ‘75?
