October 15, 2008 - Lion King

Pictures from the Legend of the Lion King show:

This show is located in Videopolis sharing the building with the Cafe Hyperion.  The Legend of the Lion King is a 30-minute show that alternates in English and French when playing.  The line for the show started near the main entrance to the Videopolis.  We entered the line about 40 minutes before the show and the seats were about 1/2 full when we entered after they let the line in.  This is an extremely popular show for this park.
