According to MiceAge this morning, the returning voice isn't the original but a new recording that sounds very similar. Maybe JEJ wasn't available or was too expensive. Anyway they were very happy with the change back.

Hold up, Mara was voiced by James Earl Jones?

Yes.

Not the current one, but the old one was.
As long as the voice doesn't sound the way it sounded a few weeks ago, I'm good.

My mind is blown.
An imagineer confirmed via Twitter that the original Mara voice is not James Earl Jones. I think that was only a rumor started on MiceChat. Doesn't really sound like him either...

Agreed. Very different voice from the original.
I saw the new effect last week and it was phenomenal! The effect was cool and creepy and the voice was so loud...t'was awesome!

Can't wait to see it for myself!

It's been extra loud ever since its refurb last year. Pretty sure they tweaked the volume.

Just showed my wife these effects and her response.... "That's really creepy."
Mission accomplished by the imagineers I think,

Finally saw this on Saturday and WOW -- the observatory of the future is just amazing. I also saw the earthly riches version and, while still impressive, the blue laser starfield in the observatory is really a sight to behold.
Everything else worked perfectly, even the unload spiel matched up with the appropriate chamber door.
The only effect that wasn't working was the smoke screen in the rat room. The projection was on but there was no smoke to project onto.

There's been an issue with vehicles not "stalling" there and therefore the mist doesn't have enough time to regenerate, but the smoke itself has been working except for about an hour or so last week (which might have been when you went on?)

It is even creepier seeing it in person!
Really adds a nice plus to this awesome attraction.
Regarding the mist element in the rat room:
It was working great mid-week last week when i rode, but did notice it suddenly decided to stop working on the weekend.
It seemed there was less fire elements in the main room then i remember previous visits...or maybe that is just me?
I love it when the transports *stall* in that dark tunnel....just a great touch and really makes people who have never experienced the attraction before start to worry a little that they are really about to be trapped on the ride.
I lost count of how many times i rode over the last four days...but each time was indeed different, just as it was marketed back in the day.
