Return the ominous voice of Mara at Disneyland to its former glory! Let your “true” voice be heard, as Mara’s once was! Sign the online petition here.
Why I signed it: I was so fortunate as to have my first experience riding the Indiana Jones attraction at Disneyland way back when it was one of the highlights of the official Disneyana Convention one of the few times that convention was held by The Walt Disney Company at Disneyland rather than Walt Disney World. It was so long ago that all the effects in the attraction were still working as designed! Each time since then that I’ve returned, I’ve always enjoyed being warned by the ominous voice of Mara in that booming way of his. Imagine my surprise to hearing a recording of it this week and how I unimpressive it now sounds after being changed! I implore you, give back to us Disney fans the original voice of Mara! With any luck, you will restore it before my next vacation to my favorite place on earth, the Disneyland Resort. Whatever team changed Mara’s voice are certainly acting like “foolish mortals”!
See the new effects, which are great, and hear the not-great new voice on YouTube.
Again, please sign the online petition here.

Your Mission has been accomplished . I went to Disneyland on Sept 1st,2013 and the voice is the original however it’s has been remixed to match the ride effects.
This is great news! I hadn’t heard, but I’m so glad. ^_^ @EyeOfMara himself replied to me in a DM just now: “The voice was changed back last week. Did you not know? A-hahaha! … It is the original voice, however altered slightly in pitch. It sounds 100% better! …”
My bartender was sooo dumb… #howdumbwashe? …He thought he wasn’t supposed to look into the ice of Mara.
:rimshot
Anyway… You can take a look at both versions — Mara’s voice changed and then Mara’s voice changed yet again — here… http://dlandlive.com/2013/08/indiana-jones-adventure-and-the-temple-of-the-forbidden-eye-receives-updated-effects/
