The current safety spiel runs 0:30 and is different than the version that was released on the Disneyland Forever CDs. I believe the announcement is made by Dallas McKennon.

Howdy Partners. For your safety, remain seated with your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the train and be sure to watch your kids. If any of you folks are wearing hats or glasses, best remove em' cause this here is the wildest ride in the wilderness! (spanish announcement follows)

A listing of the queue music can be found here.

Does anyone know if the original safety spiel was the same as what was released on Disneyland Forever?

EDIT: I came across an old live recording of an earlier safety spiel. The problem is that I'm not 100% certain this was recorded in WDW (opposed to DL). The spiel is as follows:

Howdy folks. Please keep your hands and arms inside the train and remain seated at all times. Hang on to your personal belongings now, especially them hats and glasses. Cause this here is the wildest ride in the wilderness!





The way I heard it, the spanish announcement came first.
Why would the spanish announcement come first? I know there is a recording of it that has it come first, but that doesn't mean the recording is accurate in this respect.
Jeff, 772Pilot is correct! The spanish spiel is the first part to play at Disneyland and then the english section follows, whereas WDW's plays the english then spanish! This version hasnt been(to my knowledge)released on DL/WDW Forever, someone on MB has leaked it onto Youtube, but it has since then been removed due to copyright infringments for it being unreleasable. This version was indeed recorded by Dallas McKennon(who aslo did the older versions). This version is current and started playing in 2003. It was recorded after the DL accident back in 2002, which is when all rides started gettoing new spiels and spanish counterparts added.

Now as far as the older spiels, I have heard 2 different variations and I am still figuring which was unique to what version, as of right now my assumption is this....


DL's Version- Howdy folks, Please keep your hands and arms inside the train, and remain seated at all times. Now then, hang onto them hats and glasses, cause this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness!! (1979-2002)

WDW Version- Howdy folks, please keep your hands and arms inside the train, and remain seated at all times. Hang onto to them personnel belongings now, especially them hats and glasses, cause this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness. (1980-2002)

The old version that WAS released onto DL/WDW Forever was the DL Version and is the accurate one! The other one (which is claimed to be the WDW version) was never found, the only way to hear it was a live audio around the time it was used!
I can't speak for what's used at Disneyland, but I do know the WDW version ends with the Spanish spiel.
I have the speil if you want it!
