New Eyes of Mara Effect - Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye

The Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye attraction at Disneyland Park in California and been updated with new effects in the Eyes of Mara chamber at the beginning of the ride

[@MissOddstar]

I'm diggin' the new eye effects, but what's with the chorus boy voice? Did they just pick a random male cast-member and say, "Here, read this into a microphone!"?

[@Xelku9]

Using that new projection map technology was a good idea. But they need to put the original voice back.

[@equilibrium1736]

Please Disney, bring back James Earl Jones to re-record the sound track.

[@rct3isepic]

the eyes honestly remind me of shikiri utundu

[@pumkinsoop1]

the first one is going to give so many kids nightmares

[@JGuy97]

Maybe if enough people request them to change it back, they will. (That would require a lot)

[@jimmy_nguyen]

i completely agree. i saw it at midnight and was pretty much traumatized.

[@AudreyLee94]

The voice is not good at all but the rest is awesome! I haven't been since June and they changed it ! Going again Thursday!

[@oddsource]

awesome!

[@rct3isepic]

why couldn't they have just kept the old voice? the effects are epic just the voice draggs

[@moviemagic1605]

before mara had the the deep thunder voice he had this voice?

[@thekillingzodiac]

So happy the James Earl Jones voice is still in place after this experiment

[@nathancruz9172]

DoctorMacabre me too.

[@canadianbaconbro]

i saw it tonight when they let cast members ride it after park closing. the effects are SO cool, but as everyone is saying the voice is less intimidating

[@TISMMMMSILLY]

the fountain of youth path is SPOOPY AND SPOOKY

[@mlpartclub412]

That’s the point of a deity. They’re supposed be terrifying.

[@conner623]

God, those effects! ...Oh God, that voice! XD

[@nathancruz9172]

ConnerCreativiti 1:50-1:52, 1:56 😆

[@LoveStallion]

"You! Looked into my EYES! Like, OMG!" Worst voice I've ever heard.

[@nathancruz9172]

LoveStallion 1:15-1:21 although, they got the old voice back.

[@broxome]

I heard it's temporary as there going to fix the old. Please hope this isn't a lie from the fans.

[@BigCheese1611]

How does the beginning with the three doors work? there is just a swivel turning table before each of the three doros?

[@Loremastrful]

The door with Mara's eyes blindfolded is the only moving part. It swivels so the remaining two doors can be on either side or two on one or the others. The halls are lit with different colored lights which illuminate what the hall reveals and hides what it doesn't need to. Gold light highlights the treasure. Green light highlights the fountain waters and purple LEDs simulate stars.

[@mcblocks123]

Fiuters my fab

[@Ale119510]

Is the new voice Neil Patrick Harris?! I love him, he's great on Screamin but NOT Indi :/

[@kaylabbrown]

"You looked into my EYES!" I can't stop laughing

[@adrichoncho]

holly fuck the first one is scary XD

[@Mrjavier1521]

The projection of eyes gives it a humorous look , I perfer something like rays of light, just my opinion. Just the only thing I complain , the rest is amazing though . Wow

[@jayrobson88]

lol what the fuck did they replace the voice for

[@RayBcv1030]

When did they add this

[@jimmy_nguyen]

the youth one scares me the most. it's so freaking scary with all that blood. The voice is better in person in my opinion.

[@DarkDoge]

Maras voice is back yeaaaaaqq

[@magermax000]

TO ALL WHO ARE HATING ON THE VOICE- It's temporary. They are mastering a new version of the old voice. Thanks.

[@broxome]

Yep. Blood and no eyes. 0_0

[@mlpartclub412]

That’s the point of deity. They’re supposed be terrifying.

[@atsmithson]

me too

[@Maximaginationstudio]

I love the Observation of the Future one.

[@thephantomwantsme25]

I love the visual effects not so much the voice....

[@TaylorSiebers]

I love the old voice so much. Not sure why they changed it. The voice doesn't sound "gay." For me it's comical.

[@CaliforniaDreamin.]

That voice does NOT work. What the hell were they thinking

[@nish221100]

Just a point re: voice. This really is more "mythologically" accurate. Mara is supposed to be young and beautiful/handsome esp at the beginning. The old James Earl Jones voice is what we're familiar with but was more ominous from the beginning. My guess is that someone in Lucasfilm had noted this earlier and when WDI wanted to re-record to clean it up, they implemented the suggestion.

[@coasterjudge]

I love the new effects, and I know not many people like the voice, but it kind of works for me. The pictures of Mara have always made him look somewhat feminine to me, so it kind of fits.

[@RobotsandSoap]

I have a very strong feeling that it is temporary......I hope anyways.

[@Crazycoasterkid21]

The effects were pretty cool, but the I miss the booming voice that a mythical entity would have.

[@TeamChickenNCPK]

Old voice has returned! Thank God...

[@bjbresulla]

I like how the earthly riches one looks like the classic Indy face melting, as far as the voice I always wondered why it was a male voice if Mara had a female name and femin

[@Sinatra12studios]

They brought the old one back ive heard :D

[@Darkdealer651]

I'll admit, the new voice isn't as badass, but I guess they wanted Mara to only sound threatening when mad. The old voice made Mara sound mad all the time, which granted isn't a bad thing, but Mara's supposed to be a god who grants gifts to those who don't look into its eyes. The old voice made people KNOW something bad would happen even before looking into its eyes The new one makes it feel like nothing bad will come, but then you look into the eyes and... you get the point

[@SuperSonichero10]

The effects on Mara's Face looks amazing, and I cannot wait to see it in person! The major downside unfortunately has to be the change in voice, primarily because his voice is not as dark, deep or ominous as the original voice actor, and sadly I can't take it as seriously because of it's lack of uniqueness, granted I'm judging from the sound quality of the video, but it's still a drastic change.

[@ICEBERG7423]

I agree! I love the effects, the old voice was more epic! I hate that the voice is higher pitched! :/

[@mlpartclub412]

That voice sounds a bit too young for a deity like Mara.

[@JGuy97]

Old voice + New effects = Perfect

[@3rollercoasterjunkie]

Did any one see Mara lips change when he opens his eys

[@mlpartclub412]

In the Fountain of Eternal Youth?

[@KensouX]

He sounds like a Friday night tv line up announcer now :-\ "and coming up at 9, it's an all new hour of your very own doom followed by law and order and your local news" and to the person who posted "why not go do something about it" I'd love to if they'd hire me. I can do a much better sound alike of the original voice than that but disney typically pulls from the same old pool of vo actors. If you know a way in, please tell me.

[@Lil_Angry_Bitch]

If they really wanted it to be "Mythologically correct" They would have used an Indian Persons voice, and Mara would be speaking Hindi, or Punjabi, or some indian dialect, not English. Of course Disney has to disneyfy everything.

[@spidergem1]

Wow I could not look at mara if I wanted 2

[@pastelero79]

I just met baby, and the lady who did the voice of Mara just came thru the workplace and did it for us. Y'all gotta slow your roll one time and try to get your voice on there instead of complaining about that. Go do something about it..

[@zabimaru2468]

The effects were an improvement~

[@Wesarizona21]

Just rode it today! The effects are ridiculously amazing! The voice sounds a lot better in person :)

[@TRON8882]

The effects are great, but the 7-up guy would have sounded way better then this.

[@dude37]

An awesome update. If only the mouth moved when it talked as well.

[@OswaldFiveFactory]

Is the voice a guy or a girl?

[@iheartgdgc]

That's freaking awesome!!!!

[@Dreaklock]

Is this voice still there? It's so funny, I love it!

[@GhoulishGabs]

Please, tell me where you found this news. Thanks.

[@ThoseMagicChangesAG]

Kinda?

[@L33W1NT3R5]

Am I absolutley INSANE or does the new Mara voice when he says "You looked into my eyes" sound like a Dalek. I watch to much Dr. Who

[@ToyFan]

The voice ruins the ride for me.

[@robertescobar7781]

"You looked in to my EYES!!!" (Sighs)

[@nathancruz9172]

Robert escobar 1:50-1:52 😆

[@zabimaru2468]

The voice is too high for Mara an all powerful god.

[@BrianKrosnick]

The voice is a nightmare. Truly the worst case scenario. It sounds like a 20-year old plucked from his part time job. The effects are cool, but agreed about the "cartoon" eyes. It would actually be more frightening if they opened to just reveal blackness or something.

[@Jaisonawsome]

Wikipedia says it Neil Patrick Harris he is fine for screamin but not indi

[@Jellyyfishyy]

Oh god please change the voice back I hate it. What were they thinking?? Some things shouldn't be messed with.

[@bomberguy06]

New effects are perfect. The new voice acting made my ears bleed.

[@SealStepMusic]

yeah the new voice is way too "Omg no u looked into my eye u little shit wtf was that for" where as the old one was like "u looked in my eyes. ur dead." it was way better before. but the effects are kind of cool

[@michajaneroy]

The visual effect is AWESOME! But that voice is laughable! :/ It kind of ruins it?

[@OswaldFiveFactory]

I love the effect but DESPISE the new voice. Isn't Mara a guy? I thought so....

[@LadyMissCoppertone]

The dialogue really isn't any better...yeesh

[@RetroMinnie87]

This is one of my very favorite rides... that voice was awful. What was wrong with the old one? Change for change's sake is never a good thing.

[@TRON8882]

When did Rupert Everett become the voice of Mara? The effects scare the poop out of me!

[@Lancaster300]

The effects are great. Very nice touch. The voice is disappointingly gay. I thought Mara was going to invite me to a tea party.

[@gabrielcerda6013]

I miss the old voice already. This sounds way too cheesy.

[@bjbresulla]

*feminine features

[@robertescobar7781]

The voice ruins it...so much for that Disney quality

[@vekomarian]

The new effect .... Cool The Voice of Mara .... Very Bad .

[@G4LBrandonxX]

What hell is wrong with the voice!!!!

[@nathancruz9172]

1:49 😆 who voiced Mara?

[@coolness06]

Although I too dislike the new voice, using the word "gay" to criticize it isn't the right attitude for someone that visits the Disney parks. Try expanding your vocabulary a bit.

[@BrianKrosnick]

Mara is a male. At least, it's always been identified that way in promotional material. At the very least, androgynous. Still, the voice is a joke. Awful. Detracts from the awesome new effect to hear this 20-something kid doing the worst voice-over work ever.

[@caleledford]

That voice kinda sucks

[@disneyimagineer84]

Cringe worthy!

[@Jaisonawsome]

why did they have to make the voice gay

[@ericiancarr]

Indy should let anyone who likes the new awful voice get sucked into those gates of doom. Cool new visuals but laughably bad audio! Embarrassing
