The now-deleted Facebook post received a number of entries, but for the organizers one name appeared to stand out. On Tuesday, in another deleted post, the centre announced the slide's name: Harambe.

Harambe was a Gorilla at Cincinnati Zoo who, in May, was shot by zoo officials after a child climbed into his enclosure.
