Disney/MGM Studios (Buffalo)

Disney/MGM Studios Theme Park, is the second theme park next to Buffalo Disneyland Theme Park at Buffalo Disneyland Resort. Spanning 210 acres, it is dedicated to show business, drawing inspiration from the heyday of Hollywood, California in the 1930s and 1940s.

Dedication
''To all who enter this studio of dreams...welcome. Disney/MGM Studios is dedicated to our timeless fascination, affection for cinema and television & is dedicated to the world of Hollywood. Is a place not on a map, but a state of mind that exists wherever people dream and wonder and imagine, & a place where illusion and reality are fused by technological magic. Here we celebrate the art and the artistry of storytellers from America and around the world who create magic. So we welcome you to a Hollywood that never was—and always will be Forever.''

Areas
Disney/MGM Studios is divided into eight themed areas. Unlike the other Walt Disney parks, the park does not have a defined layout, resembling more of a mass of streets and buildings that blend into each other, much like a real motion picture studio.

Hollywood Boulevard
Hollywood Boulevard, inspired by the street in Los Angeles, serves as the park's main entrance and operates in the same vein as Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom; being lined with themed streetscape facades and venues selling Disney merchandise and park services. Guests enter through the main entrance gate, which resembles the Pan-Pacific Auditorium. Near the park's gate is a recreation of theCrossroads of the World tower. Live street entertainment and seasonal parades travel down the main street throughout the day. At the far end of Hollywood Boulevard stands a replica of the landmark Chinese Theater which houses The Great Movie Ride, a dark ride paying homage to several classic films, including Singin' in the Rain, Alien, Casablanca, and The Wizard of Oz. Within proximity to Hollywood Boulevard—near the entrance of Animation Courtyard—resides The Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant, a themed replica of the original Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood, California.
