Other visitors' reviews of Shanghai Happy Valley
Show More ReviewsI didn't have high expectations before coming, since I've been to Disneyland and Legoland many times, but it turned out to be pretty good. Happy Valley was more thrilling, with some rides that imitate Disney's Soarin' Over the Horizon and Legoland's jet skis. It rained that day, so we didn't get to ride many of the roller coasters, otherwise it would have been even better. Happy Valley also has some unique attractions, such as the haunted house and NPC games, which offer a different experience. Overall, it exceeded my expectations.
