Cinema 180 Theatre

Cinema 180 (also referred to as Cinema 180 Theatre) opened in 1986 and had a different film every year. It appears to have last played a film in 1995, and was briefly re-purposed as an upcharge laser tag game in the early 2000s. It was then storage through its removal before the 2009 season. Here’s a listing of its movies with brief descriptions, pulled or re-worded from old park guides, newspapers, etc.
