Why did Six Flags get rid of Superman?

Six Flags decided to choose the name Superman: Tower of Power instead. The ride opened on May 19, 2006. The attraction was shut down June 22, 2007 alongside other drop towers after a 13-year-old girl got her feet chopped off by a cable on Superman: Tower of Power at Kentucky Kingdom.
