Imagine the trackless ride vehicles with twelve carousel horses bobbing up and down as the vehicles do an intricate dance across the ride area depicting scenes from the old and new movies...

Well, from what @marni1971 has been hinting at for the UK attraction, the choice is not between Coco and what you're describing.

@marni1971 now that the project is dead (Cries in Spanish), could you share some details of what the ride would have been? Like the story, and such? Please?

who said it was dead?
... may not be as near-term as first proposed, but that doesn't necessarily signify dead, especially to the point of discussing particulars

Thanks for bringing some optimism about this project, I guess I kinda misunderstood what the insiders where saying, I hope you’re right and that it is kept as a long-term plan!

Not that it likely has any impact on this decision, but this past weekend Coco passed $700 million worldwide box office. This makes it Pixar's 7th highest-grossing film worldwide, with a good shot of overtaking Up and making it to #6 once it opens in Japan and keeps chugging along into school holidays in the UK.
In the negative column for this ever becoming an Epcot attraction, Coco is also the Pixar film that earned the highest percentage of its box office outside the United States, with 71% so far. That comes above the previous record-holder, Ratatouille, at 67%. In the US, it looks like Coco will make almost exactly the same box office as Ratatouille. Funnily enough, these are my two favourite Pixar films!
The silence on here makes me think that the Coco overlay is all but dead, sadly.

didn't see this
that would depend on what you mean by optimism -
only thing i said was that even if put on the shelf now, there's nothing to say it couldn't be dusted off down the line...
it'll remain a logical fit even years later like the rat popping up after so long, so long-term option would be more accurate.
and you're generally not going to find too many details on projects that may or may not happen until they've been summarily killed with little hope for reemergence ever - and even those slowly dribble out if at all.
so, when particulars are discussed and plans shown is when you know it's truly dead...
generally.

Will all those award nominations change its chances of becoming a theme park attraction?

The lightning in a bottle phenomenon that was Frozen got an overlay onto a clunky, almost 30 year old ride system. Tangled got a bathroom. Based on history, I’m not sure there is any rhyme or reason that determines what they do. Maybe they throw darts at a group of pictures.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
I can think of a few pictures (portraits really) that I’d like to throw darts at.

Based on previous comments, while Coco may not move a lot of merchandise, will Poppins? What would they sell? Umbrellas? Like others have said, Coco was such a no brainer I am a little sad to hear plans have been shelved but also thankful Donald and co get to remain...

Interactive Umbrellas, ala Potter Wands? Fat chance but could work.

I just saw Coco and wow, it was soooo good. I wasn't really all that invested based on the commercials and the trailer, but wow this is def up there with UP and WALL*E as one of my absolute favorite Pixar films. It was just amazing and I wish I would have seen it before my recent trip to Epcot. Before I didn't want this in the pavilion, but now that I've seen it and heard it's not coming I'm devastated

Slow down. Not completely dead. Read back a couple pages.

I don't know, I'm getting the impression that the sudden silence on this project suggests it is dead unless something significantly changes. The film has done very well in Europe and China which could suggest it be used in those parks over there if they have a decent concept. For example, Coco was the #5 highest grossing film to be released in France last year, far above all the Marvel properties they're jamming into Disneyland Paris. Marvel sells toys, though...

With the Small exhibit inside the entrance of the Temple it has to mean something besides just ironically being about The Day of the Dead.

While I enjoyed the movie and agree it fits, I fear what it would do to the pavilion. It’s just not set up for a popular attraction. Changes could always be made to accommodate a bigger line and FP+, but that’s what concerns me the most.
I like the current feel of the pavilion and that it actually has a ride you don’t have to plan out 60 days in advance.

Coco won the BAFTA for Best Animated Movie, now it’s just missing its Oscar!
