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.

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, 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. | ||

*''' | *'''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. | ||
**This variant was also adapted for the Mexican cinema chain [[Cinépolis]] (owned by Organización Ramirez) and was used during the late 90s and early 2000s. This version has no concessions as we're about to drop the first lift hill through the filmreel, the candy boxes after the filmreel drop are KitKats, and Twizzlers is replaced by Nestle's Crunch. The policy text is also in Spanish and mentions Cinépolis. A version of this was also made for Organización Ramirez's Multicinemas theatres. SmithGroup would make an actual original trailer for Cinépolis later on. | **This variant was also adapted for the Mexican cinema chain [[Cinépolis]] (owned by Organización Ramirez) and was used during the late 90s and early 2000s.
