Kings Island

A Photographic Journey

Barry R. Hill & John M. Keeter

When Kings Island: A Ride Through Time was released in 2021, telling the park’s story from the beginning, it became clear that a photographic, nostalgic walk through the park over the decades just had to happen. This book is the result, made possible by some very special people who enthusiastically supported this project and contributed in various ways. As is typical with this type of book, the hardest part is sifting through thousands of photographs and park documents, trying to find the right combination that does an adequate job of bringing back to life all those memories of this wonderful, beloved place.

I hope the result did just that, and that you can kick back on the couch and thumb through the pages, sharing your particular stories of the park with family and friends.

This big, beautiful hardback coffee table book is filled with photographs, concept art, brochures, and blueprints, straight from the park’s archives.

Kings Island: A Photographic Journey is available here at Rivershore Creative for $55 plus shipping.
