Found It!

The address is 3513 Beasley Road, Gautier, MS. The drive-in sat west of the town and appears in a 1980 and 1992 aerial photo.

Today, The Point apartments sit on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining.

The Super Twin Drive-Ins opened its gates on June 8, 1973 with “Shamus” and “Stand Up To Be Counted” in Screen 1 and “The Valachi Papers” and “The Burglars” in Screen 2.

The Super Twin housed 900 cars (with 450 in each screen), and featured RCA projection with 6,000-foot reels and X6000 Xenon lamps as well as a red and blue color scheme for both screens (red for Screen 1 and blue for Screen 2). It was first managed Les Hagwood who was also the former staff technician for then-primary CBS (now ABC) affiliate WTOK-TV in Meridian, Mississippi.
