My guess is that they built it like that to have it start at the bottom of Pipe Dream, have a mid station on Bear Trax and end near the top of Killington Peak. (the mid station was never built) This would require a turn in the lift, but you can't turn the whole thing so it splits up.

I forget who said this but I believe someone said on another post that it was just that the owner of Killington saw a lift like this and wanted to have one at Killington.
