Looks like the down side is goig to be done by tonight, then tomorrow they'll probably do the downside. Then the two track could be connected on Saturday. So, as long as there are no storms then Saturday could possibly be the big announcement (considering a lot of coasters are announced the day of top peice placement).
Exlax has good reasoning, topping off the coaster is usually done in the presence of the media. With anticipation eating at us a annoucement soon would be great.
Jeff and others have all but confirmed that the announcement will take place in January. It will have nothing to do with the progress of construction.
What bigboy said.
