KIghostguy 2882 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 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! 26 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MDMC01 8274 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 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? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It will not be like one of those Images of America books. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
