from the old website: “Welcome to the Hagerstown 10 Cineplex located at 20135 Leitersburg Pike (Route 60) in Hagerstown Maryland, home of the Hager Drive-in Theatre. In 1966 J. Kenneth Ridenour built the Hager Drive-in Theatre. Later in 1970 he built two indoor screens on the same property and still ran the drive-in theater. In 1986 the Hager Drive-in Theater closed down. In 1988 an additional 8 indoor screens were added creating the Hagerstown 10 Cinemas. On Janurary 15th, 2006 the doors closed and the "Reel Had Run Out” The Hagerstown 10 Cinemas were no longer operating. On May 5th, 2006 The entire property including the drive-in theater was re-opened and re-named the Hagerstown 10 Cineplex Inc. under new ownership and management. We are currently working on the drive-in theater site where 804 vehicles once parked for drive-in movies. We have obtained the original building plans from 1966 and plan to reconstruct exactly as it was but with new cutting edge technology. The Hager Drive-in Theatre will reopen spring 2007.
