Been to Shanghai Happy Valley many times. My experience there compared to Wuhan was much better. The most frustrating thing is that most rides only have one working safety attendant. As a result, for rides that should be processing visitors quickly and in large numbers, like the giant frisbee/gyro swing, have long waiting times. How can you have only one person checking 30 people?

The coaster was designed to process an average of 1200 riders an hour, however the actual pace was about a quarter of that.

Read moreHappy Valley is one of the best theme parks. There is also a water park named "Maya Water Park" near to it, often opened in summer.
It was 250¥ for single entry and 400¥ for a year with unlimited entries. When you live in Wuhan, then why buy a single entry. So we bought membership. A number of rides are available here, but you have to be in queue for every time taking the ride. Roller coasters are awesome we loved these. Freefall is also super but too...
