New Trains for Wildcat at Lake Compounce

For 2017, gone will be the 3-bench PTCs, replaced by new GCI Millennium Flyers:

This is not the only "modern" upgrade for the coaster - it also received magnetic brakes in 2007.

Not sure why this hasn't been mentioned, but on top of the new trains, M&V is also re-profiling/re-building some portions of the ride as well. I believe they added in transfer track and storage area for the 2nd train (I honestly don't know for sure, so I am most likely wrong).

Also, Boulder Dash is getting love as well -

Bit of a re-profiling it would seem. Images courtesy of ACE NE Region

Edit: Added in photos and unsure if I should have started a new post or not, so just tossed it in here.

Is the Boulder Dash reprofile good or bad :emoji_fish:
It looks like it would provide less airtime...:emoji_fish:

Looks like one less moment of airtime, but more seconds of airtime overall.

Not quite on topic, but Boulder Dash's reprofiling is well underway:
