Corona opened on May 19th, 1992, as a corporate-owned location. Corona opened with the 1988 Remodel including the CU decor, and the Road Stage. Around the Mid 1990's, They replaced the logo with Coach Chuck and removed older 90's decor for newer decor, the removal of the ball pit for SkyTubes. In 1999-2001, they would receive [[Phase 3 (2000)|Phase 3]] which includes an expansion to make room for more games and replacing the Record Posters for Must C TV ones and adding some new decor. Corona remained like this until in Summer 2007, when they received the 2005 update to the [[2003 "Cool Chuck" Reconfiguration / Major Remodel Initiative]] which involved the removal of the showroom walls, removing older decor for newer decor, new booths, & adding purple walls; they managed to keep the dim lighting. In around the Early 2010's, some of the decor such as the Dinner Lights and the sign above the Kid Check were removed. Corona still remains like this. Currently, as of February 2023, the location still has the 2005 Remodel and the Road Stage.

Like all Road Stages when they first opened, Chuck wore his Tuxedo & Derby outfit. Also, the stage featured no curtains like any other Road Stage from when it was first installed.

As of February 2023, Corona still has the Road Stage and 2005 Remodel.
In February 2024, Corona would start their 2.0 remodel and would remove their Road Stage not long after for the Dance Floor.
