Name selected for new state fair roller coaster

After considering the 1,650 names submitted to the Name the Coaster contest at the Washington State Fair, the judges selected “Rainier Rush” as the name of the new looping inversion coaster which will begin operation at the Western Washington State Fair in September 2013.

Two people coined the name and are grand prize winners: Karen Chapman of Puyallup and Melissa Hollenbeck-Barovic of Edgewood, Washington.
