Test stage/ prototype
Lake Forest Stage: The Lake Forest stage was rather unique as it was a mixture of The Shelf and Balcony Stage located at the Lake Forest California Chuck E Cheese's location from 1986 until Fall 2001. The location closed down and relocated to Laguna Hills. The stage started out as a shelf that was modified in 1986. The characters were moved closer together and the Warblettes were removed entirely. At an unknown time, custom light fixtures were added to the sides of the stage, as well as TVs. The stage still had PTT Helen albeit wearing her 1990s outfit, and the bottom area where Mr. Munch's Madhouse was located was completely opened up, giving the stage a resemblance to a house. Chuck E. was also wearing part of the outfit from the Bandstand shows. It was also one of the last locations to have Flag Wavers, the last being Simi Valley, CA, and one of the last locations to have the Clapper Board. This location was known to test out new ideas before updating the other locations.
