''' | '''Audio:''' A futuristic rock-like orchestration which is kind of fast-paced to match the opening's roller coaster theme. Before the first drop, a 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). | ||

''' | '''Audio:''' 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. | ||
