That could be a reason for delaying opening: holding off for a cheap labor force. Why train regular cm's in the numbers needed to run the system when they'd just be replaced by cp-ers in a few weeks?

The amount of complaining about this thing is funny. If you don't want to ride it you don't have to.

I guess not many people on this board have been skiing before....

a) nobody here is complaining.
b) compared to ski lifts, getting into and out of the Skyliner will be a piece of cake.
c) the cake is a lie.

Now you're thinking with Portals!

This has got to be close they were testing last week while we were in Hollywood Studios. They actually look pretty cool for what they are

Photo update as of Thursday, June 20, ,2019. The Skyliner station at Riviera Resort is getting more landscaping to hide the emergency generator.

Mmm... This doesn't look like it's going to be finished and running by mid/late August?
They are saying "many months".

Maybe someone knowledgeable of Disney's contruction timelines can provide some input?

DHS' front gate looks "Many Months" more than the Skyliner! I know every piece of WDW needs Referbs time to time but why rip up DHS' front gate 2 weeks from July 4th/70 days from SWGE?!??!

Any insiders worried about the timeline for DHS' Front Gate and/or Skyliner?

It’s been ripped up for two years now. This is the project finally nearing completion.

I’m not worried. The other portion of the DHS entrance went fairly quickly. I don’t see the rest taking very long.

Skyliner stations are mostly smaller things and landscaping right now.
