Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Hollywood Boulevard is the name of themed "lands" in various theme parks around the world. The lands, which exist in Disney's Hollywood Studios, at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida, near Orlando, as well Parque Warner Madrid[1] in San Martín de la Vega, near Madrid, Spain, draw inspiration from the real historic boulevard of the same name in Hollywood, California.[2]

In both parks the "land" serves as the main park entrance and operates in the same vein as Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom. The front part of Hollywood Boulevard at Disney's Hollywood Studios, the closest near the entrance gate, features a full-scale reproduction of the entrance of Crossroads of the World, only with the slight alteration, Disney's features Mickey Mouse on top. While the front of Hollywood Boulevard at Warner Bros.'s Parque Warner Madrid features a large Art Deco fountain reminiscent of the style that was popular during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Each "land" of Parque Warner utilizes different architectural types to create distinct visual environments, with Art Deco being the main influence of Hollywood Boulevard.[3]
Other theme parks such as those owned by Universal Parks & Resorts feature Hollywood inspired sections of their parks, but they are not explicitly named Hollywood Boulevard.
