He was actually just talking about poly juice potion in generalActually, in the film Deathly Hallows Part 1, Mad-Eye Moody describes Harry's polyjuice potion as tasting like Goblin Piss. lol

most likely to avoid ruining the illusion if you can see any of the diagon alley rooftops outside of the glass.

A few years back when Deathly Hallows Part 2 was about to come out, I hadn't read any of the books, only seen the movies. I had 9 days until it came out, an iPad loaded with all 7 books and vacation planned with nothing specific planned to do in it. Managed to read all 7 books prior to seeing Deathly Hallows Part 2, although my wife wasn't happy with me for completely zoning out to the outside world from 6 in the morning until around 8 at night each day. LOL Unlike most movies, they didn't change a ton from the books, although they did leave out a good bit of stuff that would have really added to the depth of the movies. But then each movie would have been around 3 hours long. Although I greatly prefer the book's ending to Deathly Hallows to that of the movie.
I would say this, as well as other advantages such as keeping a clean or ideal look that they want to put in place in terms of both clean since it is a lot easier to let the roof of a show building like structure get a bit dirty and no one know or see versus marks and spots/grime on glass. This also goes into play with lighting. They likely want the atmosphere to be consistent with the paint and various things they went with. That alone makes sense to me. Also, the likelihood is that it was much cheaper to go with this method instead of the expensive route of glass installation.
Yeah keeping the glass clean with all the rain we get here in Florida would be a disaster. Plus they have to make anything Hurricane proof and it might have been harder to do that with a dome glass ceiling. There are many reasons to do a "fake" outside than to use the real outside. Especially on a ride like this where people will be seeing it every day and maintenance can only be done at night when it is dark outside. It might be costing them more to do this at the beginning, but I bet it saves them money in the long run.
Us being the Potter decoys doesn't mean this takes place in 97-98. We don't know the story of the ride yet. The Potter decoys is the only idea that really makes sense at this point. In FJ we were allowed in to see a quidditch match. This would give us muggles a purpose to enter the cave area of gringotts while the main characters do whatever. Of course, we get found out and everything goes wrong. All speculation...I don't actually think they will use the sotryline of us being disguised as Harry Potters. Why? Because then the ride would imply that we are in book 7 (199-1998) , and they are trying to make it a general land without specifical time. If they used that, Diagon Alley would of been almost empty and gray, since most shops closed at that time because of the Death Eaters. Also, the park is advertised as if the Wizarding World opened for the first time ever to Muggles... Us being muggles wouldn't be logical if we were assigned to retrieve the Gryffindor sword nor fight Voldemort... Just saying..
Where did this conversation about lighting the skylights artificially come from? Have they begun building a secondary roof on the inside or outside of the arches?
Well, they did cover up half of the entrance arches already...
Yeah, that is odd... the entrance might be partially false due to the rectangular architecture to the left, but I cannot imagine the actual boarding station being that way.
I don't think it'd be too much of a complication. Walt Disney World is full of false skylights.Yeah I would think that making artificial skylights is way over-complicating things. Good ol' fashioned skylight achieves the same effect without the expense.
