I was confused for several years. I remember the first time going to the park entering down by the fort and tents. I thought maybe we had entered through the employee entrance or something, like my dad snuck us in because he knew someone. It was many years before I found out the entrance had been moved.

Is there an exact date on the Release of the Book? Sorry if it has already been told, I'm at Work and don't have long to dig around looking for it.

They keep telling us August 31st, but I've seen August 26th listed as well. In this case the book won't have a "strict on-sale date", so it can be released as soon as it is received by the bookstore/website/etc. It will all depend on how fast the books are printed and shipped.

I wonder why Six Flags themselves haven't taken advantage of the fact they have books for this park and SFOG yet.

Anyways, I'll get the book once/if it's in stores.

The park placed an order for a large number of books. They will be selling it in all the larger stores throughout the park. They were anxious for us to get it out this season and we were able to do that!

Looking forward to this! Barnes and Noble know's I'm coming for it too, I think I scared them last week when I mistakenly thought the book was already out.

It's available online on all the major bookseller's sites. The link to the book on Amazon is on our homepage. It is also expected to be available in bookstores in the Northeast.

Barnes and Noble on Staten Island does not have the book yet. I also called Menlo Park's store and the one in Clark, also nada.
Anyone know if the park has it's copies yet? I'll just scoot over there and get one. I usually have a very good temper, but I am ready to "borrow" one of the Rhinos from the Safari and have him start trampling bookcases at Barnes and Noble.

The book is making its way down to the stores. I know the B&N by me in Holmdel is expecting their copies in soon.

Amazon now shows the book as being in stock! This morning it was listed as being available in 4 to 6 weeks!

I was just at the B&N at Hamilton Marketplace. They are expecting a large supply in a few weeks and were also trying to have a book signing.

I was in the Barnes and Nobel at Hamilton Marketplace this evening and I guess a few people have been asking about the much anticipated release of your book. Without hesitation or assistance from the computer, the clerk was able to tell me that the book would be in on Tuesday (9/8/09) and the authors will also be in for a book signing in October. Congrats again guys!
