"As pieces arrive for Rougarou (there will be pieces), we'll show you."
Does this mean no trim break? Or a Modification to the track? Well I think you do need new track in the station but who knows?

We could be wrong but, while going up the Iron Dragon's lift hill on Sunday we noticed some missing track pieces near the final brake run and transfer track on Rougarou. Anyone else notice this?
Could they be extending the break run to allow 3 train operation?

There are enough blocks to have two trains outside the station, I do believe. Not sure what benefit you'd get from extending the brake run, other than making the slowdown smoother. Raptor needs to be more like Banshee (though I'll admit Banshee loses a lot more kinetic energy due to the terrain, meaning you approach the brakes slower).
Also, I wonder how much work there is to see on Rougarou at the moment, and even moreso how much work would be visible from the webcams.
Mantis was designed for three train operation and did run with three trains for many years. No modifications are necessary.
By pieces, I bet that means the trains themselves and the parts for the movable floor sections.
I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.
