When guests enter Kings Island this season, one thing they will surely notice when walking around International Street is the sweet smell of barbecue! Not only does the new Coney BBQ send that sweet, smokey aroma throughout the area, but there is a new option awaiting guests on International Street.

You may recall during the inaugural 2017 Kings Island Winterfest, International Street offered a new food option, Turkey Lurkey’s Legs to Go.

Well the fresh grilled smells remain for the 2018 season, with the Turkey Legs stand becoming a permanent fixture.

We have also been excited to see the crowds eating up the new specialty menu items.

One of the new signature menu items is bacon-on-a-stick…need we say more?

They take a thick slice of bacon and string it on a stick. The bacon is then brushed with a chili maple glaze before being grilled on an open flame in front of guests.

We were quite impressed to try this signature menu item. Bacon-on-a-Stick is something creative that one should expect when visiting an amusement park, as it is not something readily available outside the park.

Our family bought one to share, and it was devoured in no time. The glaze provided a nice flavor in combination with the smokey grilled preparation.

Let us know if you tried the Kings Island bacon-on-a-stick below in the comments.
