I know you would love for it to be a meet and greet
They really don’t have much to work with in that little area. World ShowPlace isn’t going anywhere.

B-ticket attractions are rare these days, but they do help round out a park. I wouldn't be against it.

Yes...I suppose, but EPCOT need attractions in World Showcase...I don't think a carousel is quite the scale of what's needed...and quite frankly at this point, every country should already have an attraction and there should have been more pavilions added decades ago... In the game of Catch-up, a carousel or teacups are just...too little too late...

Moving the tea cups would allow the parades to serpentine through Fantasyland and then around the hub. Rerouting the parade would have the domino effect of allowing expansion in the Big Thunder/Splash bottleneck and beyond. Also allows for Liberty Square to reflect the original vision as a mostly enclosed immersive land.
One little change could create a much more functional MK.
Plus the World Showcase needs a few B and C tickets.

Good luck with that.

Remember when they trimmed the footprint of the mine train?
So where are we on this? Hoping for a mini-land anchored by a Disneyfied "Derby Racer"
Something like:
(deceptively fast and very fun compared to a Carousel)

Still going with a single spinner (unfortunately) for my prediction...judging by insiders.

Or how about one that still has the horses moving back and forth?
But I agree, I'm not a spinner person but I love these. They're deceptively fun.

I've never seen those before - those are really cool. I think they'd work as a good C/B ticket for the UK

Sadly there are only 3 left in the world so I doubt Disney would be up for it. Rye's moves a bit faster but Cedar Points still has moving horses.
Shoot, all the more reason to do it! The rarity makes it unique and Disney is all about creating perceived originality in their attractions. A revival would be nice! I would definitely support it being added to WS. A solid B+, C ticket. Their Junkyard Jamboree, Alien Swirling Saucers ride is essentially a take on "The Whip" so it's not like they haven't used a carnival classic with good bones as a means to inventing a new attraction. This one at least seems a logical choice. And certainly better than a carousel.

Disney built The Golden Zephyr and Mickey’s FunWheel (can’t pronounce that new name) both of which are based on old rides, of which there are only one or two left. Building a racing carousel is exactly the kind of thing they should do. Instead of buying off the shelf flat rides they need to reinvent some. Something you can’t experience just anywhere.

I LOVE the Steeplechase idea, but it takes lots of land, and can you even imagine what it would look like with 21st century ADA compliant harnessing? There would be so many straps and bars it would no longer resemble a horse...lol...
Is this whole addition idea dead now? or just down to adding a crappy carousel and that is it?

Even though we're down to a flat ride here, a modern 21st century steeplechase would be...

And they actually built a test setup out at their facility last year:
Their announcement image even used that specific Steeplechase too:
