I ride buy the drive-in every day. I sure miss the place. I have no idea what they are going to do with the land. A perfectly good and successful drive- in going to waste. Sad.
I drove past the Scottsdale 6 on Saturday, 05-17. There is some heavy construction equipment on the lot. The concession stand/projection booth and all screens have been torn down. It looks like even some of the brick wall surrounding the grounds have been taken down.
February 9th, 1977 grand opening ad in photo section.
as of 2018 it’s still vacant
Opened with on screen 1 with “Carrie” and “Embryo”, and screen 2 with “Young Frankstein” and “Bananas”, and screen 3 with “Journey to the beyond” and “They came from within”, and screen 4 with “The Cassandra crossing” and “Deliverance”, and screen 5 with “Freaky friday” and “Peter Pan”, and screen 6 with “The sentinel” and “The premonition”.
Too bad a perfectly good, busy theater got closed down and destroyed.

A soccer complex is supposed to be built on the property.
