Stages

Melrose Park opened with a Road Stage. The stage was installed almost on the ground because the ceiling was low. It didn't last long, as it was replaced with a 2-Stage by 1994/1995. The stage received minor changes until the 2012 closure. Changes include Pasqually getting a new drum set, Chuck E. receiving the Cool Chuck outfit (later Avenger), Chuck E. getting a new mask by 2008, Helen getting a new mask sometime in the 2000s, Jasper getting a new mask in 2008-2009, and Pasqually getting a new mask in the 2000s.

The location received Phase 2 and Phase 3 at later dates. Melrose would receive a new exterior sign and awnings between 1995-1998. In August 2012 (day unknown), the location relocated to Winston Plaza for bigger space, and because how old the building was. The building would remain vacant for a short period until it was finally torn down for an Olive Garden. As of August 2023, Olive Garden sits on the space.
