I agree. It should be axed.

Although I completely agree that it should be axed, he's also right -- just maybe not in the way he intended.
If they're determined to build the thing (and they shouldn't be, but ignoring that for the sake of argument), they need to it to at least be impressive to look at. Building something half-baked is the worst of both worlds.

I think the Festival center was a cool architecture style befitting Future World and a slight nod to the past when that area was home to the proposed American pavilion.

That was my thinking, too...my only concern really was the placement of it.

My main concern was with how quickly the top floor would likely be turned into a desert-party-only viewing area for events similar to how long the new "grassy" area in the redesigned center at Magic Kingdom remained as something other than an up-charge only space. I could see them doing plenty of "exclusive" stuff in that second floor, too - especially if it's air conditioned.
I guess I'm just cynical but I don't trust current management to build anything like this without turning at least 90% of it into something directly revenue generating.
If they want to tuck tacky clones of Club 33 into corners somewhat discreetly around WDW and charge crazy money for something not equal to the original, okay but if it's going to be something out there and obvious, I find it really off-putting when things go VIP only and this feels like too sweet a target to be ignored.

Ahhhh yeah...I forgot about that part. I'd want it accessible to all.

I also liked the look of the new structure. They should continue forward with the design but tear down the Mouse Gear building and build a duplicate of the elevated structure and connect the two with a walkway of appropriately matching architecture. This idea of rebuilding the old Communicore buildin back is a dismal idea stepping backwards. Nostalgia is wonderful but sometimes it is time to move forward. Inwas hoping they would redo the whole spine in a grand manner but the design seemed really weak except for the table.
Not quite the same area but I understand your thought.
I disagree but you'd have loved the original Guardians plan.

Bob Chapek's Wonder Rotunda? Without that, the entire business plan never would have been approved in 2018.
Bobs folly.

Connected to either WoL or that side of Communicore, I’m guessing?
Connecting ground level to Guardians and the Wonders replacement.
It'd have to be "Bob Chapek's Wund-a Rotunda". It has to rhyme or the synergy gets all messed up.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
I felt The clanking of the vehicles... but what scene elements were not working? And what was inaudible? The attraction show scenes themselves seems to be working all fine when I was There a couple of days ago.
They definitely need to find a way to fix the rough clanking though.

Which IKEA model are they basing it on? The Hoobastank or the Flurgenstown?

Again, there was a long term Marvel plan for Wonders, correct? I assume that's dead?
Since it involved demolition I’m happy to say yes.
