The theater was still attached in the 1983 aerial view complete with screen and glory, but was demolished and replaced by businesses by the early-1990s.

Appears operational in the 1983 aerial view, but was already gone by 1985, meaning that it closed around 1984.

A 1952 aerial view shows empty land, meaning that the Al-Mar most likely opened during the mid-1950s.

Original GCC layout! I wonder how many movie theaters still has that today.

One of the screens was destroyed by high winds on April 30, 1961. As of 2026, the traces are still visible after all those years.

On December 16, 2018, the Cinemark 14 became national headlines following the suicide of one of its male employees during evening rush hour. According to authorities, the 911 calls came in around 6:30 PM when officers respond to a report of a dead man’s body in a storage closet inside the Cinemark. A lot of moviegoers were confused on why there’s a lot of police cars on scene but was confirmed to be the man’s suicide.

On January 16, 2012, Cinemark Fort Collins 16 became national headlines following the disappearance of a 66-year-old Loveland man named George DeGrazio, who had been missing for a week. According to moviegoers, the man was found dead after suffering a heart attack while using a small family restroom, seven days into his disappearance.

On May 17, 1952, two medical students who finished watching the double feature of “The Marrying Kind” and “Okinawa” at the Loew’s State Theatre found a 55-year-old New York Central railroader dead in his seat after a fatal heart attack. He was transported by Crouse-Irving ambulance but was already pronounced dead during response.

Early-1990s, right after Marshall Drive was created.

Both 1972 and 1983 aerial views show the Hi-Way 82 Drive-In with its screen and glory, and in operating shape as well. Despite being gone by the early-1990s, the screen managed to stand for a while after Marshall Drive was made.

The projection booth/concession stand and traces continued to survive into the remainder of the 1980s but was vanished by trees during the early-1990s. The booth also turned into foundations as well.

50sSNIPES commented about Auto Vue Drive-In on Mar 1, 2026 at 6:58 am

The Auto Vue most likely opened around 1954, as a 1952 aerial view shows empty land, while a 1955 aerial view shows the theater in fairly new condition. A 1965 aerial view shows some very small buildings being placed on traces, but I don’t know if that cause the theater to close.

Opened in April 1954, and closed during the late-1970s.

Traces appeared to be visible for decades after closure, despite landscape growth during the 1980s.

Still intact in 1983.

50sSNIPES commented about Midway Drive-In on Mar 1, 2026 at 6:22 am

This probably most likely closed by 1958. The aerial from that year shows the traces being mostly wiped. And is it just me or is the screen tipping?

50sSNIPES commented about Hwy 17 Drive-In on Mar 1, 2026 at 6:13 am

Most likely closed in the 1960s. It was already wiped by 1975 but the faded traces are still visible.

Definitely most likely closed in the mid-1980s.

Still operating in the early-1980s, but was already closed by the mid-1990s.

Question: Is the Rebel and the Madison the same drive-in or two separate drive-ins?
