Will Kennywood get a looping coaster?

Since Kennywood had the loops taken out of Steel Phantom for Phantom's Revenge, it leaves the park without a looping coaster.  Do you think that the park will install a new one in the future?  I know space is an issue but if the management of Kennywood was clever enough to put a 230 foot drop into a huge ravine I'm sure they can come up with a way of putting another coaster in.

My choice if possible - a B&M sit down like Wildfire.  From the pictures I've seen, it would be a nice addition and maybe compact enough to fit.  Kennywood doesn't really need anything like an invert or stand-up.

Unless it's a price issue, I'd rather see an invert than normal sit-down, but you're right; they don't really need it. Stand-up, no thank you. (If B&M ever decides to make sit-down loopers with lap bars, I am so there.)

On comment about SP's removal, I remember hearing them say "Although loops may be part of a future ride..." So, I'd say yes. There was lots of rumors pointing to a B&M inverted for a while, in the area behind/between log jammer and aero 360.

When? Your guess is as good as mine.

Could you imagine the terrain and feet choppers of an invert at Kennywood.

KW has had two inverting coasters, and seems to be pretty happy for now without one.  Considering space limitations, maybe they'll get a shuttle-looper...j/k!  But the irony is sweet!

I also went to Kennywood Park for the first time this year its truly a great park in reguards for there next coaster I would probably see some type of a new B&M inverted coaster just because they are popular at most parks but it also depends if Kennywood realy wants to spend the money besides B&M's a realy cheap for most parks. What is an average price tag for a B&M invereted is it somewere around 8million to 14million range?
