* 1998-2002: The design of the car's interior, the sky background, the popcorn bags, and the second tunnel's exit have been changed. The Nestlé candies are replaced with Hershey candies (Milk Duds, Reese's cups, and Twizzlers) and Pepsi's "Project Blue" logo replaces the 1991 version (white background, stripe with Pepsi logo). The Regal Cinemas logo at the end (now in a gold color and on a space background) 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.

* 2002-2004: The dashboard is straight instead of curved with more details (including a handle that automatically moves). The Pepsi references are replaced with Coca-Cola 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.

* 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, there are screens advertising private screening and birthday rooms instead of a Milk Duds box. 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). 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.

'''FX/SFX:''' The whole thing, which looks like a first-person rollercoaster ride, animated in breathtaking CGI. The 2010 version is even more mind-blowing.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A futuristic rock-like orchestration which is kinda fast-paced to match the opening's roller coaster theme. Before the first drop, a female voice says: "Welcome to Regal Cinemas." (before 2002)/"Welcome to Regal Entertainment." (after 2002). "Refreshments are available in the lobby. And please, keep our theatre clean by disposing of trash in the specified containers. And remember: gift certificates are available for any special occasion. Enjoy the show!" At one point, there's a loud popcorn pop sound. In the 1990s versions, the popcorn pop sound was loud on screens equipped with Dolby Digital, and softer on screens not equipped with it.

'''Editor's Note''': This is ridiculously bland and lazy compared to the previous logo, not helped by it ending an infamously terrible trailer. Due to the extreme outcry, the previous logo was brought back by Regal as a replacement.

'''Opening:''' In a futuristic-looking tunnel with a hi-tech rollercoaster, a "No Smoking" sign and Regal logos around the right wall and the door, we see a blue electronic grid saying "Welcome to Regal". On the left wall, a message appears saying "Dispose of Trash". The entrance opens to reveal a space-like background above the clouds. 2 rocket propellers bring up messages saying:

The camera then speeds up and we ride down to reveal a skyline. Billboards start to reveal concession covers (Sour Patch Kids, Nestle's Buncha Crunch, Nestle's Raisinets, Sour Patch). Right above the Sour Patch billboard, a Geico ad appears. We pan up to see the Regal Crown Club logo, with "Get Free Rewards!" below it. Suddenly, the environment becomes a Grand Canyon-like area. The rollercoaster grid writes "Gift Cards Available", and we pan down to see two Coca-Cola containers, the left one containing the Coca-Cola "Smiley Face" logo, and the right one containing the Regal logo. We then go through a tunnel, causing the environment to change to what looks like a purple alien planet. Suddenly, a piece of popcorn pops, causing other invisible popcorn kernels to pop and fill the screen. We go through the popcorn and stop at the cinema in a first-person view, with the track being in the middle and the seats being on the sides. Curtains unveil, and the Regal logo forms. It pans to the left to let the company name and the text "Please Enjoy These Coming Attractions" appear. The logo shines.

'''Nickname:''' "Floating Cingular / AT&T / Sprint / Geico / Regal Opening"


'''Opening:''' The REG logo fades in (or in the AT&T variant, cuts in) over a dark, shadowy background. The logo sponsoring the trailer appears in some way (The AT&T logo spins multiple times before stopping, The Sprint logo juts in from the left and stops midway, "Sprint, The Now Network" appears after.) The REG logo is under a spotlight and dust particles are shining. Under the logos are as follows: Regal Cinemas, Edward's and United Artists Theaters. About 20 seconds in, two film projectors appear at the top-left and right areas in frame. They then spin and a light comes out of it. As this happens, the REG logo is ever-so-slowly spinning to the left.
'''Opening:''' The REG logo fades in (or in the AT&T variant, cuts in) over a dark, shadowy background. The logo sponsoring the trailer appears in some way (the first version was sponsored by Cingular; the AT&T logo spins multiple times before stopping; the Sprint logo juts in from the left and stops midway, "Sprint, The Now Network" appears after.) The REG logo is under a spotlight and dust particles are shining. The words "silence your cell phones now please" (changed to "Please silence your cell phones now." in 2007) appear between the REG and sponsor logo. Under both logos are the Regal Cinemas, Edwards Theatres and United Artists Theatres logos. About 20 seconds in, two film projectors appear at the top-left and right areas in frame. They then spin and a light comes out of it. As this happens, the REG logo is ever-so-slowly spinning to the left.
