The cause of the fire is under investigation. Damage was expected to be in the millions of dollars.

The iconic courthouse square from "Back to the Future" was destroyed, and the famous clock tower that enabled Michael J. Fox's character to travel through time was damaged, fire officials said. Two mock New York and New England streets used both for movie-making and as tourist displays were a total loss, Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Darryl Jacobs said.

An exhibit housing a mechanically animated King Kong that bellows at visitors on a tram also was destroyed.

It's a little hard for me, because I used to work in the park and have been on those sets a couple times. I haven't heard that the Court of Miracles, where the original "Hunchback" and other old Lon Chaney movies were filmed, was damaged, fortunately.
