Thanks again for all your patience. About two weeks ago all domestic magazines were put in the mail, and have began being received across the country. As always please keep in mind that magazines are mailed bulk rate which means that can take 3-4 weeks to arrive.

For those that have or will be ordering back issues, make sure you have your order in by next Monday December 14th to receive your order by Christmas. I will be processing all back issues on that next Tuesday. I will also begin to process international orders at that time. International orders are processed individually which means they take a little while longer.

For the next issue, Issue 10, this will be a digital issue. For those that have missed the news, Theme Parks Magazine is still retaining its print status. We have, and will continue to work on achieving a bi-annual print schedule. However, we are also now including a free digital issue per year as well. We should have that out in a more timely fashion, as thankfully for us, online issues involve no printing cost!

Thanks again to all for your patience, and I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Christmas and Holiday season.

We have picked up the magazines from the printer! Now we must put all of them in envolopes, label them, get the reports for the post office done and put them in the mail.

Update 10/7/09

I dropped off the proofs on Monday and place the order today. We should have the magazine in our hands either this Monday our the next one. Remember that we still have some work to get them ready for the mail (usps rules).

Update 10/3/09

We are done with our review of the proofs. Monday we will return to proofs and place our order. So if you want this issue make sure you subscribe before Monday.

Update 10/01/2009

There has been some confusion in regards to our "digital issues" and subscriptions. All subscribers to Theme Parks Magazine will receive four (4) print (non-digital) issues. In addition to four print magazines, subscribers will also receive an additional two (2) digital, or online issues. This means a $20 subscription will give subscribers a total of six (6) issues, 4 print and 2 online. This is in no way an attempt to reduce the value. Quite the opposite, online issues cost us much less then the print versions. (basically nothing) At least in theory without the added cost for printing involved we should be able to get the digital versions out quicker.

In regards to Issue 9, we have had the proofs for about a week now, reviewed them and will be returning proofs to the printer on Monday to start the full printing of Issue 9!

Finally!

Update 9/17/09

We are picking up the proofs today! After we review this weekend we will make any changed needed and then it's off to the presses.

Update 9/8/09

Good news, we just dropped the magazine off at the printers. We will be in Canada over the next week, but hope to be able to pick up proofs once we return. Once we have approved the proofs and made any corrections necessary the magazine will print. Then we will be able to move onto issue 10 which will be a digital/online issue (Our print schedule will be 2 print issues and 2 digital issues a year).

Update 9/5/09

Good news, the magazine is done. We are hoping to take it to the printers on Tuesday. Next they will make proofs for us to review. After that it w goes to the press which takes about a week to run. Then it gets mailed out.

Jeff

Well folks we have a finished magazine, actually as of about a week ago. So why arn't we printing? Usually we would be right now, but we received a last minute ad and we are working on finishing that up and moving a few things around. Hopefully we should have this done in the next week.

Update 7-25-09

I finished the revisions on the cover on my end and handed it off to the layout artist. Right now he is waiting on a computer part so he can finish with cover and put all the layouts together. Once that is done then it will be taken to the printers. This issue will also have ballots for 2008 Readers Choice awards.

I will be posting some photos from our photos as we finish them so you can get a look ahead. First one will be Prowler which is scheduled for the digital only issue. We will also be in Orlando in late August to reshoot Manta (raining last go at it) and Typhoon Lagoon.

Jeff

Update 7-16-2009

Quick update, the layout is done except finishing up on the cover. Once that is done then off to the printers.
