The concept to add inversions to the inverted roller coaster was first developed by Jim Wintrode, general manager of Six Flags Great America, in the 1990s.

[1][3] Dutch amusement ride manufacturer Vekoma developed a similar concept shortly after, and the model became known as the Suspended Looping Coaster (SLC).

[7] This one was identical to the original prototype at Walibi Holland, but it featured a different color scheme – red track with purple trains.

This was due to a plan by Six Flags to retheme part of the park as Gotham City, and rebrand T2 as Batman: The Ride and its next door roller coaster, Chang, as Riddler's Revenge.

[14] Amid a corporate bankruptcy on February 4, 2010, Six Flags announced the park would cease operations immediately due to the rejection of an amended lease by the Kentucky State Fair Board.

[16][17][18] The Koch Family, owners of Holiday World & Splashin' Safari in Santa Claus, Indiana, also expressed interest in redeveloping the park.

[23] On June 27, 2013, Ed Hart's investment group negotiated an agreement to spend $36 million to reopen the park under its former name Kentucky Kingdom in 2014.

With a top speed of 49.7 miles per hour (80.0 km/h), the ride featured five inversions including a roll over, sidewinder and a double in-line twist.

[35] From the exit of this sidewinder, the train went into a sharp helix before entering the ride's final two inversions in the form of a double inline twist.

[6][33] A banked curve to the right turned the train back around to face towards the station with a slight hill leading into the brake run.
