Motor Vu Drive-In to open Friday
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Following major renovations and upgrades, the Motor Vu Drive-In is officially reopening for the 2021 summer season on Friday with a double-feature on Idaho’s largest movie screen.
During the off-season, the Motor Vu underwent the most extensive renovations in its history to upgrade the facilities and improve movie and sound quality.
The projector room, which has held every projector since the Motor Vu’s opening in 1947, was redone, and sound processors and transmitters have been upgraded.
The most dramatic upgrade is the new 4K laser projector which creates a crisp, clear picture on the Motor Vu’s 108 foot screen, one of the largest screens in the United States.
