That coaster was shoehorned into the middle of the park where the Anton Sckwarzkopf designed Tidal Wave shuttle loop coaster was. Tidal Wave launched you out of the station using a large weight; which was high tech in the 1970's, through a loop, up a steep tower where the train would stall out and fall backwards down the tower, back through the loop, through the station in reverse to a spike of track where it would once again stall before hitting the brakes and coming to a stop in the station.

Six Flags Great America took the space that held a coaster of just 863 feet and stuffed the worlds first inverted coaster with 2,700 feet of track. That coaster changed everything garnering international news, lines that stretched all the way to the parks entrance and a wait that could take six or more hours. It was obvious to everyone that Six Flags had a monster hit on their hands so just like in the movie industry (Six Flags was owned by Time warner then) they went sequel.

When this Batman: The Ride opened up in 1995 it was the fourth Batman (there was a copy sold to a park in Japan that was not called Batman) in the chain and the only mirror image of the original.
