'''Nicknames:''' "The Rollercoaster", "Regal Rollercoaster", "Ride to the Movies"

'''Opening:''' The opening starts with a futuristic rollercoaster car interior in a tunnel. A curved dashboard starts to display the Regal theater policy below in red:  

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.

'''Variants:'''

* '''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 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.

* '''2004-2005:''' The Milk Duds and first Raisinets box are replaced with Sour Patch Kids and Cookie Dough Bites, and the popcorn bags are changed to new popcorn buckets.

'''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. The original version was released in Dolby Stereo, before being remixed in Dolby Digital in 1998 (the popcorn pop sound was louder on screens equipped with Dolby Digital in the 1998 version).

'''Editor's Note:''' This trailer is a favorite of many, thanks to the fantastic CGI. It is very telling that they brought this back twice after the initial follow-ups failed to live up to this logo.

'''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:''' TBA.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A repetition of the D and G guitar chords, with an announcer saying "Welcome to Regal Entertainment theatres. Please silence your cell phones. (Get rewarded with the Regal Entertainment platinum MasterCard.) Beverages provided by Coca-Cola. Refreshments are available in the lobby. Help us keep our theatres clean by disposing of trash in the specified containers. Regal Entertainment gift cards are available at our box office. Your feature presentation will begin after the following previews."

'''Editor's Note:''' Not much to report, though it's still a downgrade from the 1st logo.

'''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. Two rocket propellers bring up messages saying:

'''Variants:'''

* The Regal logo and the text is often replaced by a promotion on the screen for something Regal related, such as Regal gift cards, or an upcoming movie, such as ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows'', ''Independence Day: Resurgence'', and ''Encanto''.

* On August 21, 2020, the Coke containers were changed to Pepsi ones due to a new deal placed between Regal and Pepsi earlier that year.

'''Trivia:'''

* According to a Regal employee, the film projectors are intended to signal the projectionist to reel up the movie to the projector.  

*Near-identical openings are used in [[Cinemark Theatres|Cinemark]], Goodrich Quality Theaters, and other companies' cinemas; National CineMedia offers this template to theatres carrying their ''FirstLook''/''Noovie'' pre-show.

*A 3D version was occasionally shown. It is the Sprint variant, with an added disclaimer to put on your 3D glasses for "the best experience". A video capture of the variant existed on YouTube, however it has since been removed.

*A version sponsored by Geico is known to exist.

*A variant has the logo replaced by the text "Enjoy the show!" with "Please be quiet and courteous to others" is below that. This was seen on Regal-licensed theaters that aren't actually run by Regal.

'''Music/Sounds:''' It opens with a chime theme, which at one point bears an uncanny resemblance to the NBC chimes. this rises into an orchestral fanfare, ending with the Regal Sounder. The minute long version has ambient music for the remainder.

'''Editors Note:''' The new logo has garnered some criticism for not bearing a resemblance to a crown, hence the third nickname.
