The screen tower was destroyed by severe winds on July 12, 1980 during a severe weather outbreak. The screen was later rebuilt and reopened at the start of the 1981 season.
At the time of its opening, it was promoted as having the largest screen in the area. In 2022, a print of the film promoting the opening, that was shown at other venues, still exists.
