The tight, compact and unique nature of the layout exceeded the capabilities of the trains and this was ultimately the demise of the ride.  By all accounts, the LIM and computer problems were more or less resolved in it's last years.  Well, other than the fact that budgets didn't always allow both sides to have a full set of LIMs but that wasn't the fault of the ride.

Fortunately we still have the Freeze coasters for that tophat fix Smiley

doesn't compare to the original tophats. Skyrocket's is more of a very inclined over banked turn. Premier's new coaster in Indonesia has a similar, but larger version of Skyrocket's tophot.. arghh I hate calling these new things tophats

^^I think they are referring to the forward launching LIMs and the reverse launching LIMs, meaning there were 4 sets total between the two tracks.

Yes I understand that, but the Mr. Freeze rides have the same concept.

Got 5 rides on the SFOT Freeze back in June.  It seriously is one of my all time favorite steel coasters and Batman Chiller was right up there with it Sad.
