Happy Valley Chengdu — Attraction in Chengdu

I have to admit, I didn't really enjoy my time at Happy Valley Chengdu. I arrived at ~10:40am on a random Wednesday in September of 2025. Each ride has it's own scheduled opening time, which meant that only a few rides were open when I got there.

There was very few guests on this particular day which was genuinely weird. Going to a park with "light" crowds is nice, but going to a park that feels abandoned is not.

The real nail-in-coffin for my day was that most rides had a 190cm maximum height limit. I'm 193cm tall, and while I did squeak onto the dive coaster (height limit 190cm) it was a whole ordeal with multiple employees checking and double-checking my height. It made me uncomfortable, and deterred me from attempting to get on other rides with a 190cm limit.

You need to cater a full day to cover the entire park and...

I've been quite familiar with the Happy Valley brand now, and this one is a dump. The ride line up is okay, but a lot of them are broken , the roller-coasters have condamned seats on the first rows. The employees are extremely rude, moving you from your row by grabbing and pushing you like you were a kid. They operate super slowly, chit-chatting while the queue is waiting. They look depress of doing their job. I think they haven't got the point of neither an AMUSEMENT park nor HAPPY...
