You joke, but I put the odds of that happening at about 1 in 4!

well I was against the toadstool center as it demolished half of future world...but now that the damage is done and we have lived through the destruction and grief of the lost symmetry and style, I would rather see the toadstool come back than the hum-drum knee-jerk underwhelming design they are currently building. At least is would have given the central court area a big architectural flourish instead of a forest of trees and a poorly done copy of part of the original building.

...it's not even a question. Bringing back the table would mean demo of current Communicore Hall construction, permitting, and reconstruction. It would delay the spine by years. It would make Tron look like a short closure.
They know they need to have the spine reopened. They know the walls need to come down. That's the point of Communicore Hall.

I’ve been following this thread forever but after all these years I can’t even remember. What was the original purpose of this project?

Modernizing epcot. Innoventions was not only dead but the entire hub reeked of 90's futurism and looked extremely dated in the eyes of the public.
I personally loved it, but others didn't, and so here we are.

And look at that, Journey of Water was a dead end even back then. Shocking.
This really highlights how ridiculously small the Festival Center was in a park that still needs capacity. A true boondoggle just to be able to brag about paying Elizabeth Diller a lot of money.

Was going to say, seeing this makes me massively prefer what we ended up getting. Such a weird layout.

What the heck makes you think they know (or care) that they need to get the spine open?!?! Absolutely NOTHING they have done leads to that conclusion.
But I'm Iger won't go on an absurd ego trip and undo what his predecessor did. It certainly isn't like Chapek went on an absurd ego trip and undid what his predecessor did. Or that the table was a product of Iger's absurd ego trip in the first place.

Because the alternative is they are intentionally going as slow as possible to make it difficult to move around the park. I'm as jaded as the next guy, but that's a little much.

The truth is, demand hasn't shown hinderance because of this. They're still making money out the Alien Swirling Saucers. That means there's no need to spend extra money to hurry up. The people still buy food. They still buy ILL and Genie+ They still come, walls or not. If it doesn't hurt their demand, it isn't an issue.
