I’m very sure that the car capacity is truly around 120 cars.
I can’t be 100% certain without more information, but I’m going to say yes.
A 1960 topo map shows a drive-in where the Wonderland is located. And does not show any other drive-in anywhere near that area that I can see. If a topo map shows one, it should show another if it existed.
Kenmore, I need your help here. Do you think the Lakeside and the Wonderland are both the same drive-in?
The opposite side of 5028 Burwell Road, Webster, FL 33597 appears to show the Wonderland in two aerial views from 1957 and 1958 but was gone by 1960. Earlier today, I read an advertisement from the Lakeside that said that the theater was located three miles north on County Road 575 which immediately targets the same theater.
Burwell Rd & Cortez Blvd is the closest intersection, so it makes for a good address.
To be more accurate, the drive-in itself is located about ¼ mile south of the intersection on the west side of the road. It was just on the south side of a large pond.
Today, the property is used for a pasture as cows are present in the street-level map. The ramps are still visible, but nothing else remains of the drive-in.
The address is Burwell Rd & Cortez Blvd Ridge Manor, FL 33597
