I am extremely excited to officially announce Kings Island: A Ride Through Time, authored by yours truly! This will be the first book ever written about the history of Kings Island! It will be released in early May 2020 by Theme Park Press to coincide with the opening of Orion and will feature exclusive interviews with the executives that have shaped the park through the years. I am very excited to share this news with you all, and to keep you updated through this process. I really can’t wait to share this book with the public next year!

Can't wait! Are you going to be selling it on websites such as Amazon or Kindle or something like that?

Awesome! I'm excited to read it!

Yes, it will be on Amazon. I am also hoping to sell it in the park!

I want a signed hardcopy!

Can’t wait to read it, you certainly know your stuff.

Just contact the CEO of Cedar Fair and you might be good to go.

I did not even know you were done with it @KIghostguy. Congrats and I look forward to getting a copy!

That’s awesome i always wonderd why there was never a ki history book.

@KIghostguy If you need/want to add any aerial pics of mine to your book, give me a shout! I dont mind supplying some. 

 

Sounds like a great book! Will definitely buy a copy or two when it comes out!

Ahhhh this is going to be amazing! I'd like a signed copy as well! I will also shout it out on my Coaster Conquest page!

I have contacted him, I’m just waiting to hear back.

I’ll buy a copy.

Just sayin’.

I remember The Unofficial Guidebook to Paramount's Kings Island. I have a signed copy of that one someplace. 

I remember seeing that book too!

Congrats KIghostguy; I'm really looking forward to reading it! Now, is the book a novel (with few pictures) or will it have pictures and text throughout?

It will have pictures and text throughout, but it will be more information than photos. It will not be like one of those Images of America books.

Very cool

As someone who loves the history of Kings Island, I am looking forward to reading this book. I can't wait to see it!

I will be doing a presentation on Kings Island: A Ride Through Time for the ACE Holiday Party at Great Wolf Lodge on December 7. As part of the presentation, I will show the official book trailer!

Congrats!

I’d totally be there if that wasn’t the day of my sister’s wedding.

I hope it goes well for you!

The ACE event was fantastic! The construction tour and presentations were great.

My presentation went extremely well. Here is the book trailer that I debuted today.

Any more info on the actual date of release?  Also, has availability been established with vendors?  

Is there going to be both a physical and digital copy available?  I'd like to purchase both if possible. 

You might find out that and more on an upcoming episode of the KIC Podcast...

Details are still being worked on with the publisher. I’ll keep you posted once I hear more definite things.
