The state fair's newest roller coaster was christened "Toxic Shock," a name chosen from among 187 entries in a contest to name the ride.
Susan Ogden of Raleigh came up with the winning moniker for the Pinfarri RC-48, one of the largest portable roller coaster in the United States. For naming the coaster, Ogden will receive a prize pack that includes five admission tickets, t-shirts and ride books.
The fair's midway operator, Powers Great American Midway, chose the winner. The coaster will display its new name, Toxic Shock, and Ogden's name throughout the run of the fair.
