I sort of doubt it will stay at Loon. The only possibility I can think of is it could replace the East Basin Double, but there are rarely capacity issues at East Basin, they have almost the same line speed, and the East Basin drive was replaced around the time that Seven Brothers was installed. Also, it really only runs on weekends and busy days to serve as an alternate lift to Loon Peak.
To add to that – the original proposal was from 2011 I believe, so it’s very possible that it could’ve been changed by now to reuse Seven Brothers since now they have it handy.
I think the replacement of this lift with the former Kanc will significantly offload some of the traffic from the gondola. You will be able to take the HSQ up, and ski over to the North Peak, and be at the top pretty quickly. (Or take East Basin for a bit of a slower ride).

Loon just confirmed that this is being replaced with the former Kancamagus Express Quad in Spring 2022

I bet it goes to the planned beginner area over by South Mountain. The approvals are in place for a lift and a learning area over that way.

I thought of that as well, however those were originally slated to be new fixed-grip quads.
