signs for POP and AOA

I would be elated if the Skyliner was available for our AP preview on Aug 21st! I know it is possible!

I'll be there Saturday. Maybe the white film will accidentally fall off when I'm there.

So exciting! I love seeing the signs in place. We chose POP for our Dec stay mainly because of the Skyliner. Can't wait to ride it!

I didn’t read the thread but what is this likely to do to International Gateway? I don’t know that I want to pay the huge upcharge to stay at the Beach Club if I have to stand behind everyone and their mom coming in from two huge value resorts and the new DVC. The wait times to get into the park will be insane.

They are massively expanding the security check points and entrance stations at the Gateway entrance. This is likely the main reason for the delay in opening. There are great pictures just one or two pages back in the thread (all 500 pages, lol) of a BlogMickey story showing those changes.

I assumed it was a screen with operating times or something like the buses have... but I guess that wouldn’t really be needed with continuous load....

Maybe it lets people know where they go since not everyone is stalking the opening like us

I wonder if they'll post a wait time in the app for the skyliner? Should be a fairly predictable thing once they get a little data from running. Far easier than bus or boat wait times.

Do you mean like time until your destination?

I would imagine wait times to get on a gondola would be irrelevant since they are continuously moving.

I would assume it lists which side goes to which line of the skyliner route- based on the location of the signs,there isn't much else I could imagine it saying

Just because it's constantly moving, doesn't mean there will never be a wait. It's been discusses at length in the thread. Think people mover......it has a wait time posted. Most of the time it's insignificant. However certain times it may build up. It would be nice to know if you were at the mexico pavilion and wanted to decide to go to the front for a bus to CBR or skyliner.

These things will be unbelievably hot during the warm months in Florida which are basically all of them. I'll stick to the bus with AC

Might also have info like how there are the two loading areas and how many people fit in a gondola, etc

I am not sure I agree with that. My guess is that based on the speed at which these things appear to move, the passive wind system with the air flow should work well.
