Blizzard is implementing multiple changes to the new player experience and how Skyriding works in the Midnight expansion!
Flying Without the Roadblocks!
The upcoming expansion completely removes Vigor, the resource currently used for Skyriding. To make up for that, players will now have 6 shared charges for Surge Forward and
Skyward Ascent.

A Smoother Path Into Midnight
The Exile’s Reach starting experience will now lead directly into the Dragonflight expansion. A Story Mode difficulty has been added to the final raid bosses of the Dragonflight raids, namely: Raszageth, Sarkareth, and Fyrakk.
New Lorewalking stories will be added. We’ve datamined one about the Sunwell in Patch 11.1.7. It makes perfect sense for Blizzard to add more stories given how Midnight revolves around the Elves and Xal’atath pushing to corrupt the Sunwell.

Blizzard is also creating a shorter version of the War Within campaign for players to play through before jumping into Midnight.
Returning Players
There’s something for returning players too! A short optional Arathi Highlands experience with Thrall or Jaina will be added. It’s intended mainly for those not needing the full onboarding experience, according to Blizzard.
