We have a winner!
It wasn't easy, but somehow, we sifted our way through 6,136 entries for our coaster naming contest and found a winner. Silverwood's new steel roller coaster will now be called:
Aftershock
Congratulations to the winner, Richard Palamara, for submitting the first Aftershock entry and winning our grand prize.
Richard, an 18 year old college student and coaster fanatic living in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, had previously ridden a Giant Inverted Boomerang similar to Silverwood’s. “It was one of my favorite roller coaster experiences. So it’s especially cool for me to think that I’ve named one of them.”
Other Finalists and Winners
As explained in our rules, 9 other finalists will receive free admission to the park on the day of the coaster grand opening, be invited to the grand opening party, and have the option of riding the coaster on its maiden voyage. In addition, Silverwood is extending these same prizes to those who submitted the Aftershock name after the winning entry. (According to contest rules, only the first person to submit a given name is eligible to be the grand prize winner.) We will contact all other finalists via phone or email.We'd like to thank everyone who submitted a name for the contest.
