* 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. | * 1998-2002: The design of the car's interior, the sky background, the popcorn bags, and the second tunnel's exit have been changed.

* 2010- | * 2010-2013: 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. After that, the concessions from the previous version plus M&M's are seen, with Sour Patch Kids taking Twizzlers' previous place. The area where bare girders were before now have a billboard for Sprint, and redesigned Regal popcorn bags appear afterwards. 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 | * 2013: The Twizzlers concession was replaced with a "Find us on Facebook/Join the Conversation on Twitter" ad, the Cookie Dough Bites were replaced with more Sour Patch Kids, and the M&Ms have been replaced with Buncha Crunch. | ||
* 2014-2015: | * 2014-2015: The Regal Crown Club ad at the beginning has been changed, and a Geico logo (changed to a Regal icon in Spring 2014) now appears in place of the Sprint logo. | ||
* 2015-2018: This short version starts at the logo positioning itself, however only "REGAL" is seen next to the emblem. "FEATURE PRESENTATION" is also in white. For this version, we hear the end of the music from the 4th opening. | * 2015-2018: This short version starts at the logo positioning itself, however only "REGAL" is seen next to the emblem.

'''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. | '''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".

* As of late October 2018, the newer Regal logo is in place of the old one. The camera pans towards the screen slower in this variant, as to accommodate for the longer animation. | * As of late October 2018, the newer Regal logo is in place of the old one.
