  •  Interesting Features
    Very rare. The AutoScope drive-ins were an ambitious product of the early 1980s. The idea was that cars parked infront of individual screens, which allowed a private viewing for each car.

    Reels of 20 year old film still remain, washed away by years of weather. As well as old popcorn boxes.
    Large nostalgia trip.

     History
    Closed in the early 1980s.
    Has been sitting peacefully vacant ever since.


    Having been unsuccessful with displaying regular movies of the 1970s+, the location made the decision to move to strictly adult movies.
    A very disconcerning thought as to what went on in each car..
     Media Coverage

     Future Plans
    One of few locations that is actually forgotten about.
    The owners of the property could not be reached, and the location is out of the way.
    It'll stay here for years to come.
