Unpopular opinion: I like World more. I was really excited to see California come back as I have fond memories and was looking forward to watching it anywhere in the theater without the terrible bending. And the latter was true, I rode it in the center and the sides and the experience was good both ways.
That said, the picture looks noticeably grainy, the transitions between scenes are jarring (especially after the smoothness of World), and I felt a little motion sick after each ride when that's never affected me on World. World still suffers from the terrible angles and the bad CGI (looking at you, Taj), but overall I find it superior to California. It was nice to relieve the old experience, but it made me realize that my love for Soarin' over California was mostly nostalgia based.
