they didn't make enough $$$ LI land was too expensive and they were eventually all sold off. The last one just recently closed in Nassau, but I can't think of what came of the area.

I remember my parents taking me when I was little - how much fun we all had!

I thnk the closest one is like off of Rt. 17 in upstate NY. FH loves drive in theatres and is always on the lookout for them, we saw that one from the highway over the summer last year. I think it was in Middletown, or was it Monticello?

It was in Middletown, I think it's still there. I used to live there, and we would go up on the hill behind the theater and stay in the car, put on the radio station and watch a free movie...(remember, mimimun wage was only $3.85 when I was 14...LOL) The last movie I saw there was LAWNMOWER MAN. (Wasn't worth the $12.00 per car, anyway!)
