Is it the carnival annually you are talking about? I thought it's somewhere near BaBaoShan? and to be honest, I didn't like it.

Hopefully lines will get shorter--it was opening day, and a Sunday to boot.

What were the prices like?

not sure if i trust local construction standards....

Looks familiar

I think I'll wait until it's complete, and visit on a weekday, but I'm definitely planning a visit. I've been saying for years that Beijing needs a decent theme park, and lo-and-behold they go and build one for me! It looks like a good place, from what I've seen - I don't think 160RMB is too much to ask to be honest, it's not like I'll be going every week.

hi admin. would you know what the hours of operation is for happy valley? and do you have a phone number? there doesn't seem to be a english website and the tel no we found on the web is not functional. Than you!

Oh, and I went back in the "dead of" the mild winter just passed as well -- albeit on a sunny day. Don't forget the gloves! I would suggest that anybody looking to have a good time at Happy Valley adjust their expectations downward by quite a lot, and then it may actually be possible. There are at least two relatively-terrifying rides (as much due to the aforementioned dubiousness in re: local construction standards, as well as knowledge of the relative cheapness of human life in China, as due to the actual design of the rides themselves), so that much may be a draw for some.

Place was not nearly as big as Disneyland, let alone Disneyworld -- ah, maybe HK Disney is smaller, and this is what is being referred to? Characters are all super-annoying. Oh, my lord, and the "MUSIC" -- worst part, by far, horrible horrible horrible. They cycled what we timed as a 26-minute CD over and over and over again, which would probably be a really ugly scene if one were waiting in line for an appreciable length of time. If this is the trash the Chinese take to be Western culture, why the eagerness to adopt it?

Even the rides that were supposed to be open (not many under the best of winter circumstances) were sometimes inexplicably closed or didn't make the announced opening time. Lines were minimal, given that this is China, but still, all in all, I had a better time adjusting my expectations even further down and going to the amusement park in the SE part of town... the brazen intellectual property liberties are half the fun (but the place was surprisingly okay in any event).

In summer, the rides at Happy Valley will be better ...
but there's no way that the crowds won't S U C K (as related above).

I went Happy Valley-ing last weekend and they open early (8:30?) and close at 10pm so for your 160RMB you can stay all day. While one or two people queue for a ride, the others can queue for another, but yes, the queues are horrendous. People were queuing for the cinema (15 minute film - 4D) at 4:05pm for the 5pm film. Anyway, a good day out for all but not cheap. Extra cost for the boat ride (10RMB - 15/20mins) and the train ride(20RMB - 20mins) but most of it is included in the admission costs.

Been there, too, with some visiting friends last March. They're safe, Huanchu. And I'm in for a theme park day!! Weeee!!! .
