Same questionI'm off at work 3 hours from an Apple store, but will definitely take the time to drive down and get one on Thursday if I am likely to obtain one.

I believe there were occasions where the MBP was not available immediately, so its completely conceivable that they will not be available on the same day.Historically they are but there have been exceptions with non notebook macs.
If we go by recent releases, like the 12" MacBook and the iPad Pro they will be "available" the same day, but in reality that means like 3 units per store and a small amount allotted for same day shipping, then everyone else has to wait 3 weeks for online orders. And store availability will be zero for the next 2 months. Just basing this on all of apple's horrible product launches for the past 2 years. If these come in multiple colors expect it to be even worse.
As a U.K. Resident we don't see this, it really does depend where you are.
Would it be available right after the presentation in-store? Don't know whether it's worth driving up before closing (9:30) or going up next day.
No idea, to be honest all this sensationalism and obsession just makes me laugh, I love my Mac but it is just a computer!!!

If there no chance of Apple rolling out new MBPs for Christmas, I doubt very much they'd have a media event in OctoberSo no new shiny macbook till christmas????????????????????????
As someone who used to work for Apple Retail we typically always got them same day but there were a few instances where it was the next day. When the original rMBP was announced we had a ton of boxes show up to our store but we couldn't open them until the announcement was over.
We litereally sat in the back watching the announcement and as soon as it was over we cracked open the boxes.
