You really couldn't tell the difference between the 2 rides? The animatronics in Florida "work" as in they're turned on, but you can't see how they barely move. The range of motion is so much more noticeable in California. Much more fluid and lifelike. In Florida the 3 singing pirated by the dog and donkey alone look like a cheap Chinese knockoff compared to the originals in California. Each of the 3 had something noticeably wrong. Head not moving, mouth not working, etc. The were powered on, but it's like watching an old TV compared to an HD TV, yes you see the TV show, but there's such a noticeable difference in the quality that sometimes all you notice is how poor it looks and not the content itself. Also until I started going to California I also didn't realize you could hear the prisoners in the cell farthest from the dog talking because the speakers are so terrible here. That's just examples off the top of my head while exhausted at 3am. Next time I go I'd be glad to give you a more complete list of how much better California's ride is. The ride needs a lot of help and it's sad to see it in the condition it's in. It's barely kept up and slowly getting worse where as California is constantly updated, repaired, and improved. If they found a way to do the same amount of work in less time, I'm all for that. Sadly I suspect they were forced to cut back to bare minimum and what we'll end up with is going to be a semi repaired ride, but with no upgrades and improvements to bring the ride up to par with the quality you find back on the west coast, and that's what saddens a lot of the people here.
