Vogel had sued for $750,000 to build an 800-foot-long fence along Eastern Boulevard that would shield the drive-in from the Royal Farms' light, and $306,000 in compensation for lost business. The lights, he claimed, have delayed his annual opening for several weeks, until trees bloom fully enough to block the light, and prevented him from adding a second screen to the popular Middle River attraction that Vogel's family opened in 1956.
