Draft:Regal Cinemas: Difference between revisions

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, 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.

*'''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.

*'''2004-2008:''' The Milk Duds and first Raisinets box are replaced with Sour Patch Kids and Cookie Dough Bites, and the popcorn bags are replaced with new popcorn buckets.

*'''July-September 16, 2010:''' This version serves as a placeholder for the 8th opening. The candies' order of appearance is changed to Raisinets and M&Ms during the filmreel drop, and Sour Patch Kids and Cookie Dough Bites afterwards, and the Coca-Cola cups display updated designs along with the Regal popcorn bags.

'''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.

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 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 screenings and birthday rooms with balloons to the right. After that, the concessions from the 2004-2005 opening plus M&Ms 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. The redesigned futuristic exit is decorated with various beat boxes and moving speakers. The rollercoaster car itself now resembles more of a monorail/maglev style vehicle, and the Regal logo is far shinier, with "FEATURE PRESENTATION" now in smaller text and separated from the logo by a large line.

* For 3D movies (except before IMAX presentations), the opening appears in 3D.

*'''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:''' 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.
