underground sewers and other services more accessible. For the opening, 1100 fully-grown trees were planted, having been purchased from a provincially run nursery in Pickering, Ontario. During the park's first season, it was noticed that crowds tended to go to the right side of International Street, towards Medieval Faire. Buildings Apart from the front gate structure, all buildings on International Street are based, with varying degrees of accuracy, on international building styles. Theming was extended to all details of the buildings. The Toronto Star suggested that "there are no cheap facades. Everything is well-built to last a long time." It recounted a "forlorn looking person" stopping a security guard outside a set of Latin themed washrooms, asking "Am I a Damas or Caballeros?" In 2011, the entire street was lit up with 300,000 lights for the nighttime show Starlight Spectacular, featuring animated effects projected on to Wonder Mountain. Overlooking the front gate is the Maple Room, a small, higher-end events facility. Front gate In a 1979 report to the municipal government, Canada's Wonderland wrote that they expected the "Front Gate Complex" to include souvenirs, stroller rentals, kennels, wheelchairs, locker rentals, and a check room. They also stated that souvenir carts would be in the entry area. In the early years, Toronto-Dominion Bank had ATMs on site, as well as a bank branch that offered services like cheque encashment. When Cedar Fair took over the park, the store Thrills are Paramount changed its name to Thrills are Wonderland. The structure also includes Front Gate Photo. While admissions and a dog kennel have always existed outside the front gate, one ride now exits the park. Leviathan, a roller coaster which opened in 2012, encroaches into the visitor parking lot and entrance area. In 2003, metal detectors were added to the gates and security was doubled after a person was killed in a shooting during a crowded Mother's Day. It happened after two visitors were involved in a fight, apparently over a drug exchange before their visit to the park. Alpine Building According to a report titled "Maple Theme Park", provided to the municipal government by Canada's Wonderland Ltd. in 1979, the Alpine Building was intended to provide: "Camera and film shop (rentals and service), glass blower, glass cutter, china shop, European arts and crafts, Christmas decorations." The park opened with two restaurants and four retail outlets in the building. The Alphorn Delikatessen
