Thank you for doing this KIghostguy, and everyone who has helped. I can’t wait!  

Thank you, I can't wait for you to read it!

I just read about the delay and I'm still very much looking forward to it! I just hope to get all the other books I plan to read done before it's out lol. But even if I don't, I'm still planning to buy it whenever it comes out!

Thank you! It may have been delayed, but the final book is going to be way better than if it was still following the original timeline.

I’ve heard back from the publisher that the book will be a September release.

I was wondering about this. Will it be sold in the park?

My hope is yes. But unfortunately, the park’s merchandise director has not been very responsive.

Yes, I would love to get a signed copy as well. 

Will you be at an event somewhere signing books when released?

I love history books and especially those on amusement parks.

I’d love to do a book signing, but it’s a little difficult to arrange one given that I’m not sure at the moment if it will even be sold at the park.

Just set up a table in the parking lot and have people bring their copy with them. I'm sure the park won't mind at all

Unless the book is titled something like:

”Kings Island: The Glory Days”

Sounds like a great idea to have at park.   Sure they would love it.

I recommend calling some bookstores. The one I worked for enjoyed having local authors promoting their work in the stores. The current situation might affect such things, but you should still give them a call. Community art and activity centers might be accommodating , as well.

I interviewed multiple people at both the park and corporate levels and they have been very supportive of the book. But the merchandise director has the final say, and although he said he was interested, I haven't heard back from him since January.

Thanks for the update; can't wait to read it! 

Thanks for the update.  I can`t wait to purchase my copy and read it!  For those of you interested, we did a podcast episode on this book.  

 

Thanks for the update, looking forward to getting a copy when it comes out!

Any updates on when/where this will be released next month?

This is great news! I just picked up the Cedar Point 150 Years: The Fun is Just Beginning book. I was thinking it would be awesome if there was a Kings Island book.

Sorry, I haven’t heard anything more from the publisher. Hopefully there will be news soon!

Can I get first copy dad said it is better to read a book than internet sometimes!  Is it going to have pichures?

Any updates on when the book will be available this month?

I read on twitter yesterday he had issues with his publisher and now looking for a new one.    Sorry to hear.    Make sure to post lots when you get that deal and when the book will be for sale.

Thank you for the sympaththy. I'll keep everyone posted once there are more developments. 

How much for a PDF copy? I want to read it.

The standard retail price would have been $17.95 for a physical copy. However, that deal fell through, so I’m not sure what it will end up being. I will say that there are several parties that are currently interested.

Might want to try Cincinnati Book Publishing as well if you haven't. They've published several local history books (Good Samaritan Hospital, the old Terrace Plaza Hotel, etc.) so they might be interested, especially given that they're local.
