In a weird world where I was in charge of USH, I'd put a highly themed "spinner" in this Forbidden Forrest setting. I'd call it "The Whirling Whomping Willow". It would have more range of movement and thrill factor than something like Silly Swirly, but still be OK for almost everyone in the family. It would be highly themed and intricately dressed, so that it would literally look like we're riding on the Whomping Willow, it wouldn't look anywhere close to a standard spinner.
As for the small thrill factor, besides it spinning us around and having control to go up and down, we also have the option to tilt the ride vehicle back and forth at multiple angles so that it really looks and feels like the crazy branches of the tree. I feel like that would've been such a fun additional ride and one that lends itself very well to a ride.
