This story has been updated: Cedar Point's former Mean Streak coaster gets taller, wilder; new name to come (photos)

SANDUSKY, Ohio - Finally, some answers from Cedar Point about what, exactly, is going on with Mean Streak.

Then again, maybe not.

The park is hosting a hard-hat tour Tuesday for members of the media "to get up close to Cedar Point's yet-to-be-announced attraction in FrontierTown."

That's code for Mean Streak for those of you who haven't been paying attention to this ongoing coaster drama.

To get you up to speed:

* Last September, Cedar Point announced it was shuttering Mean Streak, its behemoth wooden coaster, built in 1991, which had fallen out of favor in recent years because of its rough ride.

* Not long after, crews from Rocky Mountain Construction showed up on the scene. The company is well-known in the amusement park industry for its masterful remakes of old, wooden coasters into wood-steel hybrids. Work continued through the winter, spring and is ongoing this summer.

* Park officials have steadfastly refused to talk about the Mean Streak transformation - even though it's on display for thousands of parkgoers every day.

* In recent months, Cedar Point has tweeted a handful of teasers about the ride, sending the coaster fan community into a frenzy of speculation about when it will open, how high it will be, what it will be called, etc.

The latest Tweet came two weeks ago:

Tuesday's hard-hat event represents the park's first official acknowledgement that something big is happening at the back of the park. Exactly how big?

Well, we may have to wait to find out.

The invitation to the media reads: "Reporters will have the opportunity to get inside the construction site to capture photos, video and interviews with park representatives."

And continues: "Although no specific information will be revealed at the time of the tour, future access to this area will be extremely limited."

No specific information? Well, we'll see about that. Check back tomorrow for a full report, with lots of photos and as much information as we're able to squeeze out of park officials.
