The Times Square New Year's Eve ball used from 2000 - 2007 weighed about 1,070 pounds. They are using a new ball for New Year's 2008, the 100th anniversary of the tradition. I do not know how much it will weigh.

Starting this year, the ball will remain in the same place where it is seen on New Years' Eve, so that it may be seen by tourists.
In Times Square of New York City.
I stay up and watch the ball drop in NYC!
At midnight in Times Square a ball is dropped on New Years Eve. The first ball drop in Times Square took place on December 31, 1907 and has been dropped annually except during 1942 and 1943.
One can watch the New Years Eve countdown online on many different sites. Some of the best sites to watch the New Years Eve countdown are Cambio, Time Square Ball and Christian Post.
On New Years eve you party until 12:00 and when 12:00 comes you watch the ball drop and scream happy New Year
The lowering of the New Years Eve Ball.
Not much. The big celebration in Scotland is New Years Eve, known in Scotland as Hogmany.
I have seen it listed at well over a ton (total weight) of confetti is dropped on New Year;s Eve on Times square.
