Opened with “Home in Indiana”.
MagicValley.com reported that the drive-in’s fence was down and the screen would be dismantled around the end of the year. It was to become a storage facility. The article said that the Motor-Vu was built in 1947 and began operating in 1948.
KEZJ reported that workers were demolishing the site in December 2018.
As of 2015 this drive in is officially closed. Cinema West leased it for a season, but did not renew the lease due to a flood in the concession stand during winter. Cost to reopen was not feasible and the digital conversion was never made.
The Motor-Vu Drive-In is now operated by Cinema West, made the conversion to digital projection. ebsite
The Motor-Vu was operated by the Interstate Amusement Co. in the early eighties, as was the Grand-Vu in Twin Falls.
