Also the drive tires shouldn't be changed that much since it's still the same single drive tire system that is used on the floorless coasters, but the stingers on each end of the station to lock and unlock the restraints will be completely gone when Rougarou opens (they'll be attached to the retractable floors on Rougarou).
Well, they kind of will be changed a lot considering they will have to get completely new ones and install them in a different position.
B&M floorless coasters such as Rougarou, Hydra, Medusa etc have the horizontal, flat drive wheels as opposed to the the single vertical drive wheels Mantis had.
Dive Machines such as Griffon and Sheikra are the exception, but those trains are pretty different anyway.
On a side note, I think some of the reasoning for replacing the brakes is that they'll want to include the combination of magnetic and friction brakes (especially now that they'll be running three trains).
Mantis' brakes were also getting kinda janky.
Edit: it seems we are both kinda wrong as some of the different B&M floorless coasters have either the vertical or horizontal drive wheels.
I had myself noticed on most of the B&M floorless coasters I had been on that they had horizontal drive wheels so I assumed it was the same for the rest.
