Maybe it's the garage for that large lift platform we saw being used on the DHS line forest crossing.

- Start date
They did mention it.
That Skyliner was mentioned briefly as an Epcot upgrade for its IG and connecting resorts.

They did talk about it... mentioning the opening date, the resorts and parks it would service.. and showed the cabins parked to highlight the art on them.
Honestly there is nothing left to promote about them except for 'they're open!'

Still don’t think it’ll be expanded.I doubt they’d announce any potential (as in potential) expansion today.
Maybe next time. Or the time after that.
(Maybe I snuck this in during d23 P&R hoping no one would see)
I’m still betting on there being a more dramatic East/West transportation system being added.

Check the other facilities. ITJ isn't the only three letter initialization being used for the Skyliner.

For some reason this immediately brought to mind the image of some guy in an ecv trying to drive up the stairs to the second level.....

I'll be checking into Pop on Wednesday, so I can check it out (assuming someone hasn't reported it by then).

According to BlogMickey, no.
https://blogmickey.com/2019/08/sele...-disney-resorts-for-galaxys-edge-opening-day/
Managers we spoke with did not anticipate the Disney Skyliner being a transportation option for guests looking to get to Disney’s Hollywood Studios on opening day.
Obviously this could've changed 20 times by now.

See I'm torn. On the one hand, I would love to be able to ride this while there, and it would be awesome to have it open. On the other hand, I soooo want this to open after August just to spite the site that shall not be named.
All jokes aside, this seems to be up in the air. A few users here have hinted it might be ready, but every official response has been no. That being said, I was told the day before reservations for GE opened that they hadn't made a decision if they'd be doing reservations yet soooo...

I severely doubt anybody would announce a soft opening...I have a feeling it wont open, but if it is a soft opening, I doubt they want it instantly crushed by the hoards.

I think just based on the facts that there are still people working on the roof and not a cast member in sight we should not anticipate a soft opening by Thursday
Unless I need to get my eyes checked, I believe there's 2 cast members directly below the construction workers in this photo
EDIT: Also, I think the fact that they're running tests of the audio is a good sign

Oh I didn't realize those were CMs! Okay fingers crossed for Thursday then!

Those do look like the generic cast member costumes, but the fact they're not in their final "swoop" costumes leads me to believe we may be farther than two days away from launch. I don't think we're a month away from the first passengers, but more than two days.

Alternatively, maybe the costumes aren't ready yet (and are aimed to be done for the official opening). The uniforms they're wearing match those of other CM's we've seen at the gondola stations
