The screen moves up, revealing a track of filmstrip, machinery, and a screen displaying "No Smoking", with the dashboard still visible. The car starts moving across the track and climbs up a lift hill, also passing by another screen displaying "Quiet Please/No Talking During Movie", and wrappers flying into a large trashcan, before exiting the tunnel. The dashboard moves off screen and the car speeds up as it goes down a drop (passing by a Raisinets box) and through a large filmreel. More concessions pass by, including two Butterfinger boxes, Pepsi cups (changed to Coca-Cola cups in 2002), a large Goobers box, and popcorn popping alongside two rising Regal Cinemas popcorn bags. The car drops again and enters another futuristic tunnel on the right. The doors open, and we cut to outside the tunnel as the rollercoaster car zooms by. The Regal Cinemas logo (gray with orange crown and filmreel) moves in from the left of the screen to the center, tilted at a downward angle, and a sparkle forms on the edge of the crown. | The screen moves up, revealing a track of filmstrip, machinery, and a screen displaying "No Smoking", with the dashboard still visible.

Trivia: The opening was animated by SmithGroup Communications with Alias/Wavefront PowerAnimator, and later converted to Maya in 2002. It was designed by visual effects designer John McLaughlin (no affiliation with the John McLaughlin Group series), who has previously worked for LucasArts and DreamWorks. He passed away young on May 24, 2016 at the age of 46. For the 2010 version, Jim Dalgleish (who worked on the original) and Craig Paup recreated the opening with Modo (tunnel rendering and coaster) and LightWave 3D (tunnel modeling and ending). | Trivia: The opening was animated by SmithGroup Communications on an SGI workstation with Alias/Wavefront PowerAnimator, and later converted to Autodesk Maya in 2002.
