'''Technique:''' CGI | '''Technique:''' CGI by SmithGroup Communications, created on SGI workstations with Alias/Wavefront PowerAnimator, and later converted to Autodesk Maya in 2002. It was designed by visual effects designer John McLaughlin, who previously worked for LucasArts, and later worked for [[DreamWorks Animation]]. | ||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A futuristic rock-like orchestration which is kind of fast-paced to match the opening's roller coaster theme. Before the first drop, a female voice says: "Welcome to Regal Cinemas. 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. A small finish is heard at the end of the logo along with synth-bells. The original version was released in Dolby Stereo, before being remixed in Dolby Digital in 1998 (the popcorn pop sound was louder and the synth-bells at the end were removed on screens equipped with Dolby Digital in the 1998 version). | '''Music/Sounds:''' A futuristic rock-like orchestration which is kind of fast-paced to match the opening's roller coaster theme.

'''Opening:''' On a light green background is "please silence your cell phones" in the top right and a silhouetted person using their cell phone on the left. In a blue environment with screens and Coca-Cola cups (as seen during late 2000s ''Regal FirstLook'' installments), the camera moves towards a screen displaying Coca-Coca bottles and a cut-off REG logo. Packs of M&M's, Cookie Dough Bites, Sour Patch Kids, Raisinets and Twizzlers move to the bottom of the screen behind a purple gradient background. "NO SMOKING" appears in the top right corner of a green background with rays of light. A silhouetted person drops a cigarette into a trash bin, and the background turns blue with a flash; a Regal gift card moves to the right. "NO SMOKING" fades out and "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY PROCEED TO THE NEAREST EXIT" fades in. The Regal Entertainment Group logo appears and slowly moves away from the screen towards a red curtain background. Particles unveil smaller Regal Cinemas, Edwards Theatres, and United Artists Theatres logos below the REG logo. The curtain is lifted up, revealing an assortment of blue/purple/red/orange bars and a large shine in the center. | '''Opening:''' On a light green background is "please silence your cell phones" in the top right and a silhouetted person using their cell phone on the left.

*'''March 4, 2022-July 2022:''' Stuart and Bob, two Minions from ''Minions: The Rise of Gru'', are added in the rollercoaster seat, with Stuart visibly enjoying the ride while Bob gets afraid. The big piece of popcorn sends Stuart out of his seat before he emerges with the popcorn in his mouth. The cinema at the end is also filled with Minions. | *'''March 4, 2022-July 2022:''' Stuart and Bob, two Minions from ''Minions: The Rise of Gru'', are added in the rollercoaster seat, with Stuart visibly enjoying the ride while Bob gets afraid.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The "Let's All Go To The Lobby" quartet plays as normal until we zoom out from the tablet, which turns the music into dramatic string notes (ala Psycho) along with the sounds of glass breaking. After the glass breaks, the music erupts into a triumphant state as the candy flies through the theater with a calmer sweep inside the projector. After this, the fanfare rouses into a dramatic state as an announcer says "Classic favorites and inspiring new choices. Come and get it." in a deep tone. | '''Music/Sounds:''' The "Let's All Go To The Lobby" quartet plays as normal until we zoom out from the tablet, which turns the music into dramatic string notes (ala Psycho) along with the sounds of glass breaking.
