You won’t want to miss out on this incredible Florida adventure. Check it out…

Eustis, Florida is a relatively quiet waterfront town that might get a big shake-up in the near future.

While Florida is already home to some of the oldest drive-in movie theaters in the country, soon it will hold the title for the world’s largest drive-in theater.
Lighthouse 5 has been proposed by the CEO of Veritas Theatres, Spencer Folmar, who wants to feature a five-screen outdoor theater that is unlike any other.

It’s not just going to be an outdoor movie theater though, it will also have on-site restaurants, camping, and tons more activities to make it an all-inclusive place to hang.
The first hurdle for the proposed theater was passed back in March, which is helping to clear the way for the build.

Folmar envisions the 72-acre property as a family destination and wants to reignite tourism to the town where he was born.
While the build would happen in phases, according to Folmar, the first phase would start with the five-screen movie theater and then move on to the camping and RV grounds.
