Listening to the latest podcast has made me even more excited for this book. I'm glad I pre-ordered it.

Mine shipped too!

So exciting, I can’t wait to read/see everyone’s reactions when they read it! 

I got my copy today!  So well done.  I've read a bit and it is real and it is fantastic!

Thank you! Can’t wait to hear everyone’s thoughts as they read through it.

Still waiting on mine to arrive.  Excited for it to arrive and start reading it!

Got my email notification it was shipped . . can't wait!!

Haven't logged on in a while, so I just saw this...

Would just like to say that I'm excited as any, and have pre-ordered my copy!

Truly special to see the park's storied past finally done justice, and chronicled as thoroughly and comprehensively as it seems this book does.

Can't wait to take my Ride Through Time!

If you like the photos, wait until you read the stories behind them in Kings Island: A Ride Through Time!

Finally got around to ordering a copy of the new book.  After following this thread for the past couple years, I'm so glad this is being published.  I hope it does well.  

Mine is finally in transit! Arriving by 4/9!

That is when mine is expected to arrive as well.  Found it odd that it shipped from PA and was at a USPS distribution center in NJ, only to come back to Ohio!

Mine went to NJ first, too, but my ETA is 4/13. I can't wait!

Mine is now slated to arrive today by 2:30pm!  So excited!

You all will love it.  I have learned so much.

Really glad to hear people have been receiving the book and enjoying it! Really exciting for me to see my book leap off a Google Doc and onto printed pages.

Just ordered my copy,  I hope more copies are ready soon,  can't wait to get it!  

Mine arrived yesterday! 

Tune into WCPO on TV tomorrow! John Matarese produced a feature on my book that will run at 6:30 Thursday morning and 5:30 Thursday evening. It will be posted online afterwards!

^Make sure to invite @Hawaiian Coasters 325.  

My book arrived this week. Probably going to save it to read on vacation next month, but two big surprises: 

1.) This is a good-sized book. I anticipated maybe a short, 100-page quick read. This is fairly hefty, and browsing through it, it's comprehensive and very well written. Which led to my second surprise...

2.) @KIghostguyis super young! I always assumed he was someone who was around my age, who'd been involved with the park for decades. But he's a kid! And he wrote a good-sized book! I have a master's in communication and toiled over a 100-page thesis last year; he has a nearly 400-page history on Kings Island! I'm impressed! 

Major kudos, and I look forward to reading this!

I’m glad I was able to surprise you. I hope the book’s contents are surprising as well!

It was so amazing to see my book on TV this morning! What a crazy feeling.

It seems they thought making sure they spelled your name correctly was wasting their money!

This is the best KI book I've ever seen!!!! I've been waiting for a good KI book to come out forever! I was so desperate for one, that I bought a KI book that actually was a 2016 parents guide to KI.

Just ordered mine, I can't wait to read this!

 

 Do we know if the book will be sold in the park or in stores yet?
