Icon Park Highlights International Drive

With the inauguration of two new rides, the largest in the world in their respective categories, Icon Park is projected in Orlando as an attraction that rivals the major theme parks. It is an attraction beyond the traditional Orlando parks that increasingly attracts tourists. With it, the International Drive, Orlando’s main avenue, gains even more importance on the Florida tourist itinerary.

In addition to providing quick access to Walt Disney World® Resort, Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld® Orlando, International Drive is a destination unto itself. Also known as I-Dirve, the avenue is home to many attractions, restaurants, hotels and shops. Lennar Homes, one of the largest in the US, recently announced the launch of Storey Drive Orlando, the first condominium in Orlando Vacation Homes on International Drive. Until then, the region did not allow developments aimed at short-term rentals.
