I New York börjar man så smått förbereda sig för det stora nyårsfirandet i staden och speciellt kring Times Square där hundratals tusen brukar samlas för att fira in det nya året. En nyhet för i år är att man stänger av all trafik vid Times Square, så nu finns ännu mer yta att nyårsfesta på.

\nLite fakta och \u201dtidtabellen\u201d för nyårsfirandet vid Times Square (info på engelska):
\n 
\nThe Times Square New Year\u2019s Eve Ball is a 12-foot geodesic sphere weighing 11,875 pounds. Covered in 2,668 Waterford crystals and powered by 32,256 Philips LUXEON Rebel LED lights, the ball is capable of creating a palette of more than 16 million vibrant colors and billions of patterns, producing a spectacular kaleidoscopic effect atop One Times Square. The ball has been on display since Jan. 1, 2009, and is a year-round attraction for visitors from around the world.

\n4pm – The Revelers
\nRevelers start arriving late in the afternoon on New Year’s Eve. By approximately 4pm, the \u201cbow tie\u201d of Times Square (42nd\u201347th Streets, between Broadway and Seventh Avenue) becomes a focal point for the festivities. The NYPD will direct revelers to gather in separate viewing sections. As one section fills up, police will direct new arrivals to the next section. As the evening progresses, revelers continue to fill the Times Square neighborhood along Broadway and Seventh Avenue, and as far north as Central Park.

\n6\u20136:03 pm – Lighting and Raising the Times Square New Year\u2019s Eve Ball
\nThe celebration begins with the lighting and raising of the New Year\u2019s Eve Ball atop One Times Square.
\n 
\n11:59pm – The 60-Second Countdown
\nNew York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and the Times Square 2010 special guest (to be announced) will push the Waterford crystal button that signals the descent of the New Year\u2019s Eve Ball, and lead the 60-second countdown to the New Year atop the Countdown Stage at Duffy Square (the center island from Broadway to Seventh Avenue between 46th and 47th Streets).
\n 
\nMidnight – 2010 Sign
\nAt the stroke of midnight, the lights on the New Year\u2019s Eve Ball are turned off as the numerals \u201c2010\u201d are illuminated high above Times Square.

\n 
\nConfetti Wishing Wall \u2013 The Confetti Wishing Wall will be at the Times Square Information Center, located at Broadway between 46th and 47th Streets). New Year\u2019s Eve is a time when people of every background come together to express a collective hope for renewal; a yearning for a better personal or global future can sometimes take the form of resolutions or wishes. With that in mind, visitors to the Information Center are invited to write their wishes and resolutions for 2010 on pieces of paper, which will be displayed on the wall. For those who cannot make it to Times Square to add their wishes, a virtual wall has been created at timessquarenyc.org. At midnight on December 31, the wish papers will become part of the confetti that rains down on the City. (Note: specific dates of Confetti Wishing Wall to be posted at timessquarenyc.org)
