There is a large concrete block that sits on the old entrance road. At first, I thought it might be part of the old ticket booth.
But if that is true, someone would’ve had to move it up the road a distance before leaving it there.
“Beaches” Was The Last Film Screened At The Flying Cloud, Either On April 29 Or 30, 1989.
The Flying Cloud’s last ads in the Minneapolis Star Tribune were on the weekend of April 29, 1989. The following week, the drive-in ad section did not include it.
The May 17, 1989, issue of the Eden Prairie News reported, “The Flying Cloud Drive-In Theatre may soon be replaced by a garbage recycling facility to be built and owned by Browning-Ferris Industries Inc.” BFI bought the drive-in site from Eden Amusement Co. earlier that month.
Part of the entrance road is all that remains of the drive in.
The 826-Capacity Flying Cloud Drive-In Opened Its Gates On August 11, 1956 With A One-Day Showing Of Jeff Chandler In “Toy Tiger” Along With 2 Cartoons.
