'''Opening:''' We start with a futuristic rollercoaster car at a tunnel. A curved dashboard starts to display the Regal theater policy below:  

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.

*'''2002:''' Coca-Cola branding was placed onto the former Pepsi cups.

*'''2002-2004:''' The dashboard is straight instead of curved with more details (including a handle that automatically moves). 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, and "FEATURE PRESENTATION" is wiped in from the center with sparkling effects.

*'''2010(?):''' Before the 6th opening was introduced, a supposed prototype version of that existed where there are now Raisinets and M&M's boxes at the first drop, the candy boxes after the filmreel drop are now Sour Patch and Cookie Dough Bites and the Coca-Cola cups have been updated to the respective era's design along with the Regal popcorn bags.

'''Availability:''' Extinct. Starting on September 17, 2010, this opening was only shown before some 3D movies (most auditoriums, including all 35mm auditoriums, screened the 8th opening, and some didn't use a standard policy trailer at all, only using the Sprint cell phone policy trailer) and back-to-back with the 8th opening, if at all.

===8th Opening (Rollercoaster) (July 2010-October 29, 2018)===

*'''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.

'''Availability:''' Extinct. The short version appeared after the previews, before the movie starts.

===9th Opening (Rollercoaster) (July 1, 2015-)===

ASSISTIVE LISTENING CAPTIONING AND DESCRIPTIVE AUDIO DEVICES AVAILABLE and: NO RECORDING DEVICES OR CAMERAS ALLOWED. Then, the rollercoaster's grid writes another message saying: IN CASE OF EMERGENCY PLEASE PROCEED TO THE NEAREST EXIT. The rocket propeller messages start to write: NO TEXTING DURING THE MOVIE and: PLEASE SILENCE YOUR CELL PHONE.

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.

'''Technique:''' CGI animation produced by Taylor James for The Tombras Group.

'''Availability:''' Currently shown in most Regal screens around the United States, between the ''Noovie'' pre-show and the trailers.
