Looks amazing! Although it's a bit smaller, I feel like in many respects it's a big improvement on Grand Carousel from 2009. The floor and the top "marquee" are a lot less gappy, the animal carriages are more varied and detailed, and even the mechanism seems smoother and more reliable than the old one, which I hear had a tendency to come apart. At $200 it's also a pretty great value for the piece count. Although Power Functions must be bought separately, adding around $14.50 to the cost, that's still comes to a lot less than the Grand Carousel which was $250 when it came out eight years ago (the equivalent of around $287 today).

 

Overall it's a great new addition to the Creator Expert range, and one that will go well with the previous Ferris Wheel and Fairground Mixer. Not an immediate must-buy for me but definitely one to save up for!
