OK. Maybe the rope was stopping. There do seem to be quite a few stops reported during this week's preview. Hopefully that will improve.The line was not moving fast.
Let's see what happens Sunday night.

We’re not turning a blind eye. We’re *rolling* our eyes at how incredibly lame the Avengers thing sounds. But, anyway, just watched a well-done on-ride vlog tour of the entire Skyliner system. Looks fun.Just like all the Disneyland people complaining there was nothing new announced for Disneyland at D23 and somehow turning a blind eye to the whole Avengers thing.
It was running normally. It would appear that unless they weren’t loading cabs, it couldn’t keep up.OK. Maybe the rope was stopping. There do seem to be quite a few stops reported during this week's preview. Hopefully that will improve.

Looks like heaven compared to the pop century bus line (plus its not all the way across the park after illuminations)Lines tonight at IG station for CM previews(not normal crowds) after Illuminations. Not going to comment but you judge for yourself.View attachment 413773
Our load post illuminations was pretty quick despite a very long line similar to the picture shown. There were a lot of stoppage issues on the line, because of door opening issues at the other end. I did comment to my co-riders how long the lines will be after opening, but I was impressed. It is operationally similar to an omnimover system that doesn't stop for ECVs and there's no fastpass+. Remember how fast those used to move? It is far superior to the buses.It was running normally. It would appear that unless they weren’t loading cabs, it couldn’t keep up.
Just so I know, what exactly am I a local fanboy of? If I'm a fanboy of only the Skyliner, what a sad life I have. If I'm a Disney fanboy, wouldn't I also love SWGE?you're saying this is better than Galaxys Edge? Interesting how soon you local fanboys forget.

You are correct, and I don't mean to take away from anyone that is excited for SWGE. I do not think that Skyliner holds the excitement for some people that "standing in the millennium falcon" does for hardcore Star Wars fans. I never said it was the most exciting, I said it is the greatest. Perhaps my choice of words was a bit much, but I am not sure. As a local fanboy who has ridden them both a few times now, I think Skyliner is more interesting and fun for repeat rides. There are however no repeat rides, because it is not a screen. SWGE is well themed, but it falls flat with its lack of streetmosphere, life, and things to do.I just mean that what is 'new' is relative. You said that "It's sad that the greatest new thing at WDW is transportation." As someone that isn't local and considers other things that opened this year (or even less than a month ago) to also still be new, the gondola is nowhere near the most exiting new thing.
Strange that they had that one support painted/tinted green at Epcot. I’m guessing that’s some kind of permanent colouring?They will continue to look exactly like they do now. Galvanized Steel. Look at any metal traffic light poles... high power lines.. all the same stuff.
I do think they should have screened or enclosed the overhead equipment at CBR. I don't think the exposed view there was all that necessary.

If they could do that there you think they may have done it for some of the others that are smack in the middle of a resort.
Still, can’t wait to ride it, probably end up being my kid’s favourite “ride”
Shame about the towers staying plain steel, only real let down unless they will age in a nice way?
We know what that means... FP+ for the Skyliner, confirmed!It is operationally similar to an omnimover system that doesn't stop for ECVs and there's no fastpass+. Remember how fast those used to move?
This is a limited CM preview line, not an actual open to all guests crowd.Looks billions of times more bearable than the cluster you see for the buses and monorails.
Can I Fastpass+ this 60+10 days out? If I’m staying at Riviera, I expect to walk right on like the video showed.
Based on the speed of load, I doubt you will need to worry...They are loading 8-10 every eight seconds.
I get the joke, but Im pretty impressed with how fast they are loading these.
A still photo of a line doesn’t show how fast that line is moving.Lines tonight at IG station for CM previews(not normal crowds) after Illuminations. Not going to comment but you judge for yourself.View attachment 413773
Yes. It should be rather efficient. And more reliable than the bus system.Based on the speed of load, I doubt you will need to worry...They are loading 8-10 every eight seconds.
