Rebirth of International Street to greet Kings Island guests on opening weekend 

New Orleans has its Bourbon Street. New York is famous for Park Avenue. Chicago has its Michigan Avenue. Kings Island has International Street. When conceiving the idea for Kings Island, park designers wanted to create an escape from reality, a bubble from real world responsibilities.
