There will still be 3 trains; blue, red, and black.

The last bolt was driven in last week; lift chain links have been rolled out.

Nothing really significant to report. The Christmas tree from the top of the lift is gone, but a crane still remains erected at the site. I figure this is likely for last-minute touchups and inspections, most especially for proper track alignment.

The SFOT facebook page keeps teasing us to about an upcoming announcement about the opening date of the Giant. Anybody here have an idea as to when it will open?
