The "upstairs" theater at Trolley Corners had about 800 seats, stadium seating, digital sound, and curtains covering the screen. It was a very popular theater until a new, larger multiplex blocked it from booking a good selection of first-run films.

Red curtains covered the curved screen in Trolley Corners Theater 1. When the movie began the curtains rose upwards and the eight doors into the auditorium magically closed by themselves. Grant Smith 16 February 2004
Below the stadium seating of Trolley Corners Theater 1 was the lobby and concession stand. The rows of seats in Theater 1 were curved, with no center aisles. Grant Smith 16 February 2004
