According to Wikipedia, it's Pat Fraley. Although it also states that Thurl Ravenscroft was Zurg, so I'm probably just gonna take that with a grain of salt.

John Wayne was voiced by Chad Everett and Cagney was voiced I believe by Frank Gorshin. I don't remember who voiced the witch but it was not Margaret Hamilton's voice from the movie.

Really? Frank Gorshin was Cagney?
I mean...I can still tell it's not really Cagney's voice in the ride, but that they got the Riddler makes it unbelievably AWESOME.

Frank Gorshin was a friggin' LEGEND.

Behind The Voice Actors website has a section with a few Disney Attractions Credited not many but, still interesting to look through...

Likewise with Tom Hanks.

Anyway, some more- Kevin Michael Richardson (no stranger at all to voice acting) and Kevin McDonald reprise their Lilo & Stitch roles for Stitch's Great Escape. The latter case is a great example of wasted talent for that attraction- you go to all the trouble of bringing in a guy who was part of one of the most famous comedy troupes of all time for new dialogue, and you DON'T have him say anything funny?!? Of course, if we started talking about problems with SGE, we'd be here all day....
That's also Richard Kind, the voice of Molt from A Bug's Life and the Bookworm from Toy Story 3, as the Sarge guy in the queue. Kind of a step down from Tim Curry and Phil Hartman (though, in his defense, Tim Curry is REALLY hard to top).

To be fair, he is a well-noted character actor with a long filmography, having been in many many films and television shows. Some, not so good, I'll grant you (very few people can have a film of theirs get MST3K-ed and not be suspect), but he seems like a likeable, professional fellow. Also, his "dear friend" George Clooney has played some astoundingly awful practical jokes on him, so I can't begrudge him too much.
Sorry, I worded that wrong. I really don't have anything against Richard Kind.

Loving this thread! It's amazing the voices you can recognize when you open your ears a little bit.
I'm not sure if we're restricting this to Walt Disney World attractions or not, but Nick Stewart reprised his role as Brer Bear for the Disneyland version of Splash Mountain. Not for the Disney World version... There it's James Avery, who's also Brer Frog.

Today we shouldn't forget Gary Owens which among his many credits was the recruitment video for the Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure.

Hm. Any reason they didn't just bring the audio over from Cali?
I dunno... Maybe it's because they had new ideas for lines for Brer Bear. As for why Nick Stewart didn't reprise his role (he was still around back then), I don't know.

Scheduling conflicts, personal issues, there are lots of reasons he might not have been able or willing to do it.
I think that's Carlos Alazraqui voicing Mike on Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor...
