I am SO GLAD they changed the voice back to James Earl Jones. The voice they planned on using was so laughable it took away from the intimidation of what Mara is supposed to be. I remember when that voice came out many fans complained to Disney. Also, why Disney decided that was a good idea, I have no idea. Also, the voice back then and now are the same voice by James Earl Jones, they just changed the octave.
Wow! As a one-time-a-year Disneyland visitor, I did not know there were differences in the ride! My family and I are just so excited to be back in the park, that the differences/updates escaped us. Thank you for your fun content.
Sounds silly, but it’s refreshing to finally find someone that noticed the different voice for Mara lol I would get in debates with my friends, because I knew the original was James Earl Jones. I was there with they gave an exclusive sneak peak to annual pass holders for the new Mara voice…awful 😳…I’m glad they changed it to what it is now instead of the other one, but I wish they would’ve used the original voice and original effects for the doors. The projections for the doors are cool, but the craftsmanship of the original doors was beautiful. I miss it.
Great video! Please do one on the different sayings Indians says throughout the ride which always change: 1) the first time we see him holding the doors closed, 2) when he's hanging onto the rope, and 3) when he's standing in front of the crushed boulder --- his dialogue in each of these 3 scenes changes everytime we ride this attraction. He says many different things and I would love to see them all documented.
I remember having an argument once with someone, I insisted the doors on Indiana Jones changed by moving, and they insisted they didn't. We were both kinda right the last time I had gone Disney still physically changed the door, the last time they went Disney had since stopped that.
@@ParallelDiscover yeah I agree. The moving walls REALLY sold the illusion. I wouldn't even have guessed that it was all the same room. I hope the fix it one day. Sadly, It's probably not gonna happen under bob Cheap-ek.

So interesting fact: the original voice of Mara was voiced by James Earl Jones And the foolish mortals, infidels, and No is supposedly Mara reacting to us (the riders) looking into the eyes of the idol. As in a way saying "I told you one simple task not to do and you did it, you know the punishment." A little fun fact I know about this. They removed the No and infidels line and only kept the foolish mortals line for two reasons, a nod to haunted mansion and to make Mara more God and powerful. A cast member around the early 2000 told my family about this because they thought we were going crazy about the 2 cut lines
Disneyland has made some weird decisions, and I still wonder why they would pitch James earl Jones’s Mara voice higher in the current version. I thought it was perfect as it was earlier.
Well actually the new mara voice actor is Neil Patrick Harris. Disney had Neil Patrick Harris voice for awhile, but then Disney decided to go back to the James Earl Jones voice because the Neil Patrick Harris voice wasn't that good and it had garnered a lot of hate.
@@Mysterysrl21 yeah that’s what it sounded like to me. like they gave a new actor the original as a reference and told him to recreate it as closely as possible.
Me and my older sister went on this when our family went on a trip from October 26-31 on October 27th we went on this ride and wanted to know what was different because the drop under the ball seemed plebbey but everything seemed fun
2:30 Just like the Cave Of Wonders. INFIDELS!!!! You have touched the forbidden treasure. *Everything starts to turn to lava* Now you will never again see the light OF DAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!! *Fire explodes from the pillar*

@@ParallelDiscover I’m a huge Disneyland fan myself. I have a goal to go to every Disney park in the world, mainly to see how each land and ride parallel each other. The pandemic actually opened the doors for me to go to Disney World for the first time. It was an incredible experience. Have you been to any of the parks outside of the USA?
Yah, Been to them all. seeing the differences, big and small, made me want to do this. well it made me want to watch videos showing the differences because I knew there were more details that I missed, but all the videos on RUclips about the subject were not what I was looking for so I thought I would do it.
if I were to recommend only one resort out side the US it would be Tokyo, easily the best overall experience. If you can do all though they all have there unique charm worth experiencing
Fun Fact: As part of the backstory for the attraction, it is said that Indy was able to receive one of the gifts for not looking into Mara's eyes. He gained a vision of the future, and get this: He saw himself carrying the Arc of the Covenant!
That's too bad. Any chance in the future that it will be manageable enough to go? I don't know much about autism but it is unfortunate you can't experience this attraction.
I get that,I too am autistic. I usually wear earbuds (nothing playing in them) to make loudness more quieter, as for the lights I'm usually not to bothered by it but everyone is different
Be sure check out Pi the Disney guys channel for hilarity of the historical kind. ruclips.net/channel/UCIYe1MFLHX1QzN2v1GDMqig
I prefer the older version but still enjoy the attraction nonetheless. Another fascinating vid Parallel!
I agree, especially the way the doors shifted
Me too.

I miss him being real easy to please! We apparently made him angry!
This is really neat to get a look into these differences of this ride.

@@sonidoacuario845 the snake really disappointed me
Not only do the flowers die, nor only Mara decays, but his eyes also go dark and bleed. 2:40
I swear I went on this way after the 2013 refurbishment and Mara said “Your path now lies beyond the gates of doom.”
So interesting fact: the original voice of Mara was voiced by James Earl Jones

Why is that god so hard to please? We have apparently made him angry. And now he's mad at humanity!
Mara, why are you so mad at humanity? We never meant to make you angry!
I also remember when Mara one time said "the gates of doom, have come for you" instead of "your path now leads you to the gates of doom"
I don’t remember him saying that either.
I don't remember that.
Why are you so hard to please? We have apparently made you angry, and now you're mad at humanity!

Nice, I never realized that was James Earl Jones.
If I’m correct they fixed the voice with the refurbishment
This video was so much more researched and well made than I ever expected. Fantastic job. Instant sub.
Thank you
I feel like the original Mara voice is just slowed down, and I think they sped it up to get more timing
I do think that is a possibility.
or other recording from the same voice actor
Different voices Mara James Earl Jones and Neil Patrick Harris
@@ingridcalderon1994 I couldn't find anything satisfactory that stated this, so I didn't want to say it just in case it was not true

I wondered how many times it was changed interesting video!

New sub! I can tell you put a lot of work into your videos. Thanks for putting these out!
They can be a real pain but some of the stuff I find makes it worth it.
Fun fact, the other mara voice (higher pitched) actor was Neil Patrick Harris
Why why why would they cast him for it…?
2:30 Just like the Cave Of Wonders.

Wow, that second voice was really weird... sounded like Mara was a white college freshman on the pep squad.
It really was. Lots of people say it was Neil Patrick Harris, but I couldn't find anything solid enough to say it
The Mara face looks too scary for me!!
That's the point!
Gods and Deities are supposed to be feared.
He scared me too. I even looked into his eyes.
I cried when I found out what I had done!
@@ResidentEddyWhy is he so hard to please? We have apparently made him angry! Now he's mad at all of humanity!
5:59-6:04 I laughed so hard when, Mara talks funny. 😆

I noticed the differences as I grew up with it at age 8. We always used to scream FOOLISH MORTAL.
Doing this opened my eyes to so many little details and changes. I wish I got to do the funny voice before they changed it again.
FOOLISH MORTAL!
Bruh no 4:33
I’m so glad I found this channel! This content is fantastic!

Never knew this. cool..
I prefer old Mara. I think the new stuff is just too much.
I do too, especially the smoking eyes!
@@ParallelDiscover His eyes kinda terrified me, though. That’s right. I looked into his eyes.

don't we all
I think the voice you hear before Mara banishes you to the gates of doom is Sallah. 👍🏻
it sounds like it, It just seems out of place for him to say
I wish I could see the projections in person, but I can’t go on the ride, because I’m too autistic.

I stopped watching the video at 3:51... the voice was way too annoying
Mara looks like Buddha 3:17 but different
Gold water & space
I love all the chambers I like the old one that the one the 2013 and new one
Also, Mara’s evil laugh is gone.
It’s still there if you listen closely. The car just turns too quickly before you hear it.
