Hollywood Boulevard serves as the park's main entrance and is lined with stores selling Disney merchandise. Parades such as the Pixar Block Party Bash travel down Hollywood Boulevard on their route through the park, and live street entertainment can be found here throughout the day.
At the far end of Hollywood Boulevard stands the Sorcerer's Hat, the icon of Disney's Hollywood Studios. Behind it, inside a replica of Grauman's Chinese Theater, is The Great Movie Ride, a ride paying homage to several classic films, including The Wizard of Oz.
Echo Lake is the park's small oval-shaped lagoon. Surrounding it are numerous attractions and services, some in structures designed to mimic the "California Crazy" form of architecture from Hollywood's Golden Age. Look at this dinosaur that is actually an ice cream shop!
At The American Idol Experience, park guests can audition and sing for live audiences, and potentially win a special front-of-the-line pass for the popular TV series' real tryouts.
Next door, Sounds Dangerous! features a 3-D audio presentation that talks about how people create sound for TV shows and movies.
Echo Lake includes three attractions based on characters and movies produced by George Lucas' Lucasfilm studio. Star Tours: The Adventures Continues is an upcoming motion simulator ride. It is not open yet, but we will walk by.
Jedi Training Academy, a live-action stage show, invites children to become "padawan learners" and receive "lightsaber training" from a Jedi master.
Lastly, the live-action Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! re-enacts various scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark while talking about how movie stunts are performed.
