Lights Out: Abandoned American Drive-Ins
| January 30, 2019
Comanche Drive-In
If you’re looking to visit an old drive-in theater that still actually shows movies, head over to the Comanche Drive-In, located in Buena Vista, Colorado. It was first built in 1966 and took advantage of the then-deserted prairie landscape to build a large screen that could be enjoyed by hundreds of viewers from the comfort of their cars.
Although it did remain open continually until 2008, it shuttered briefly in 2012. Now, it’s back in operation, and re-opens every summer, showing classic movies from the golden age of Hollywood. While some of the facilities have been modernized, they still have their original marquee, complete with their Native American head logo.
