I've got a partial copy of the first trailer with an Eastman date code of 1993. It might be older than that.

The car starts moving on a track of filmstrip and goes up a ramp, passing by machinery, screens displaying "No Smoking" and "Quiet Please/No Talking During Movie", and wrappers flying into a large trashcan. The car exits the tunnel, then the dashboard moves off screen as the camera speeds up, goes through a filmreel, passes by various concessions, including Milk Duds, Butterfinger boxes, sodas [the labels ranged: Pepsi (1994-2002) or Coca-Cola (2002-2004, 2010-2015)], Twizzlers, and popcorn popping alongside two rising Regal Cinemas popcorn bags.

Then the Regal logo moves in from the left of the screen to its usual position, tilted at an angle, and a sparkle forms on the edge of the crown. | The car starts moving on a track of filmstrip and goes up a ramp, passing by machinery, screens displaying "No Smoking" and "Quiet Please/No Talking During Movie", and wrappers flying into a large trashcan.

* 1998-2002: The design of the car's interior, the sky background, and the popcorn bags have been changed. The Butterfinger boxes are replaced with Reese's cups, and Pepsi's "Project Blue" logo replaces the 1991 version (white background, stripe with Pepsi logo). The Regal Cinemas logo at the end faces the screen directly and "FEATURE PRESENTATION" fades in below it in blue. Another version used during this period had Coca-Cola cups in place of Pepsi, used in theaters Regal bought out that still had Coca-Cola contracts in place. | * 1998-2002: The design of the car's interior, the sky background, and the popcorn bags have been changed.

* 2002-2004: The dashboard is straight instead of curved with more details (including a handle that automatically moves). The Pepsi references are replaced with Coke references, the Reese's are replaced with Raisinets, and the popcorn bags are redesigned. The rollercoaster was given a sleeker look with small spinning fans on the bottom, the Regal logo is changed from Regal Cinemas to its current form (Regal Entertainment Group), the final note of the music is different (two notes, the Regal sounder), and "FEATURE PRESENTATION" is wiped in from the center with sparkling effects. | * 2002-2004: The dashboard is straight instead of curved with more details (including a handle that automatically moves).

* 2010-2015: The opening was redesigned again, this time in up-to-date CGI. Everything seen in the trailer is now far more detailed, with an ad for the Regal Crown Club appearing on the dashboard when the rollercoaster starts up. The dashboard displays the Regal Theatre policy in green: "Welcome to Regal Entertainment Group / Refreshments available in the lobby / In case of Emergency / please proceed to / the nearest exit. / Gift Cards available / for any special occasion. / Enjoy the Show!" The screens in the redesigned opening tunnel display "No Recording Devices or Cameras Allowed", "No Smoking" and "Hearing Impaired Devices/Available Upon Request". The rollercoaster's track is now a light-blue, still shaped like a filmstrip but with embedded circuitry (presumably because of the switchover to digital film). Before going through the filmreel, instead of concessions, Regal ads show up about private screening and birthday rooms. After that, new concessions are seen (Cookie Dough Bites, M&M's, and Sour Patch). The area where bare girders were before now have a billboard for Sprint. Also, the new futuristic exit scene is known to have various beat boxes, speakers that move a lot, sound inputs/outputs, especially other audio visual equipment as well where the scene pans up to the new rollercoaster design (the then-current redesign of the futuristic exit now looks different to the previous ones (nor is now in a huge, rectangular shape instead of a circle | * 2010-2015: The opening was redesigned again, this time in up-to-date CGI.

Even though, the rollercoaster itself now resembles more of a monorail/maglev style vehicle, and the Regal logo is far shinier, with the "FEATURE PRESENTATION" now in smaller text and separated from the logo by a large line. | ||
* 2013-2014: Geico ads were placed on the rollercoaster car, and replaced the Sprint ad. Also, the Twizzlers concession was replaced with a "Find us on Facebook/Join the Conversation on Twitter" ad, and the M&Ms have been replaced with Nestle's Crunch. | * 2013-2014: Geico ads were placed on the rollercoaster car, and replaced the Sprint ad.
