The Frankston Starlite, Preston and Thomastown confusion

Skyline Preston was built behind a quarry in the northern suburb of Reservoir. In the early days business boomed but soon the competition followed. The Olympic twin, built less than a mile away, on a much more obvious site, would surely have dented Prestons trade. Later Village opened Reservoir drive-in that was actually in Thomastown, this caused confusion as to what was Preston drive-in doing in Reservoir and Reservoir drive-in doing in Thomastown! Preston closed on the night in 1984 when 5 other Melbourne drive-ins closed and Hoyts and Village combined their drive-in operations.
