Still operational in the 1981 aerial view, and still visible in the 1983 topo. After closure, most of its traces are still visible by the early-1990s, though a small fragment was occupied by a McDonalds. A 1999 aerial view shows Horse Creek Inn being built at its place.
Correction: When the drive-in was relocated to the adjacent Wangan Minami Parking Lot and twinned afterward, the old drive-in continued to operate until February 16, 1993. Meanwhile, at the newer location, the first screen opened on January 16, 1993, while the older location closed the following month, and the second screen opened on March 13, 1993. At the time, it was managed by both Daijiro Kuwata and Tetsuo Mikami, and as mentioned above is Shochiku operated.
The newer location also marked one of the largest drive-in theaters ever in Japan at the time, housing 430 cars from both screens (250 in Screen 1 and 180 in Screen 2). The total capacity of the drive-in is an average size of a normal drive-in theater in the United States.
After its relocation, the original drive-in site that operated from its August 16, 1981 opening with 208 cars until its relocation in February 1993 became a parking lot.
Functions update: First-run films are also added in occasions.
Also, I want to say thank you very much to CineNate and the staff there for the incorrect points I’ve made a few years back. I know I’ve made several mistakes, but I’m really glad that it was corrected. Thanks!
