PORTLAND, Ore. (June 03, 2026) – A creative fan of Oregon’s favorite amusement park could land major bragging rights – and two season passes – by coming up with a name for the thrilling new drop tower ride coming to Oaks Park in 2027.
The park, which has been providing family fun on the banks of the Willamette River since 1905, will start construction this summer on its new drop tower ride. The Larson International ARM Park Model Super Shot Drop Tower will offer guests a breathtaking view of Portland before delivering a heart-pounding free-fall guaranteed to induce thrills and screams of excitement.
“Exhilarating thrill rides have always been a major draw for everyone who loves Oaks Park,” said Emily MacKay, Oaks Park’s marketing and events director. “When our new drop tower debuts in 2027, we’ll be turning up the fun even more. And to celebrate that, we want to let fans of Oaks Park come up with the best names they can.”
The naming contest is underway now on the Oaks Park website. Contestants simply fill out a short online form, where they can submit up to four creative, clever and memorable names for the tower. Entries need to be submitted by June 14, 2026, and the winner will be notified by email by July 31, 2026.
In addition to landing the honor of naming what’s expected to be the tallest drop tower in the Pacific Northwest – and the most intense thrill ride ever added to Oaks Park – the winner will also receive two 2027 Season Passes to the park. The passes offer unlimited rides every standard operating day of the season, 10% off food, beverages and gift shop purchases, and exclusive special offers.
