Happy Valley Shanghai Vlog June 2017

Join us as we visit Happy Valley Shanghai for the first ever time as part of our trip to Asia in June 2017. The park opened back in 2009 and features a wide variety of rides for both thrill seekers and families. Join us as spend a very interesting day at Happy Valley in one of the most amusing Theme Park Worldwide vlogs to date! Unfortunately our day was filled with numerous closed rides making our visit to the park not as successful as originally hoped. We share our full review of both the park and the rides we actually get to experience in one of the most unusual vlogs on the channel!

The thought of Shawn walking up to a group of teenagers in China and saying "GET YOURSELF A VPN, GET YOURSELF ON KZbin, THEME PARK WORLDWIDE" will never not be hilarious to me Great vlog guys

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, we're glad you enjoyed the many funny moments throughout this vlog!

[@gokublack827]

[@thatguy4550]

I think silvarret should and tpw should build a planet coaster park together

[@Nick-bj6uv]

incredible..the eerie vibe, the mobility scooter, the dark ride with no operator. this vlog really has everything

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for watching! We're glad you enjoyed it

[@mexxek]

'I know you're not allowed KZbin, but get yourselves a vpn' crying 😂😂

[@tpm2056]

That made my day :D

[@seandenny3026]

Not sure what a vpn is but I hear that China is going to crack down on VPNs next year

@31:10 "hello, I like your pink sausage" nearly spat my drink out 😂😂😂

[@alexw3922]

Alex in that mobility scooter is the best thing ever. im low key dying 😂

[@alexw3922]

Now Shawn...😂😭

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It had to be done, we wanted to spice things up a little!

[@alexw3922]

Theme Park Worldwide a 'little' bit...

[@DementedCaver]

I get the feeling that those scooters are normally used for the 90+ crowd. :P

[@Uniqetz]

Theme Park Worldwide otherwise it would be you and Alex complaining about the park. The park was.... well different.

[@saraelizabeth5989]

I love how even though the park was disappointing you didn't let it ruin your day. You hired that mobility scooter and cracked on :'). Laughing! You legends.

[@koolstup]

Shawn experiencing communism while waiting to get on the wooden coaster is gold.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I had no idea what was going on!

[@dylanmoriarty6428]

That’ll be all over the world pretty soon here. NWO.

[@Jason-Clark235]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide I’m late but you were drunk or high, or both 😂

[@user-kl4vx2zh3o]

Imagine that here in the UK When you are queuing up for Shockwave at Drayton Manor and you get to the station and you get on the front row and seeing what just happened there and Shawn is Fuming

[@hattie.e.d]

I know this park was a bit of a let down, but this is honestly one of my favourite vlogs! I always watch it if I'm having a bad day- you both pratting about and making the best of a bad situation just brings me so much joy every time!

[@eddiewilliams7727]

ive watched all your vlogs and this one has got to be up there with the best! 1.05 hrs....tears rolling down my cheeks. the look on the Chinese peoples faces......brilliant!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We're glad you enjoyed it!

[@Colette1972UK]

Lol. Shawn's dancing in the queue cracked me up. 😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We do have a good laugh!

[@petparadise6071]

I lived in Shanghai for 3 years, so visited this park many a time, except the dive coaster and mega lite were closed every time!!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Why does that not surprise me!

[@SAT170499]

This has got to be the most hilarious vlog on TPW, I actually cry laughed when Alex was on the scooter 😂😂😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We're glad you enjoyed it!

[@imperialsubz7810]

"bouncing sensation" that I definitely a special treat lol

[@Timboozle]

This is one of the most funny vlogs of all time :D A real bouncing sensation :D

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, we're glad you enjoyed it!

[@peterwatkins9850]

park looked a mess, but Alex made me laugh and loved the dancing Shaun

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching!

[@user-nc5ch1gm4w]

I don’t know whether you guys are reading this now, but the happy valley was completed over a decade ago, so most of the facilities are quite old. And with a couple of facilities accident happening before they are pretty cautious. Believe me, I’m from Shanghai. Btw they are still expanding this park and I guess new areas will be opened in 2018 so I’m looking forward to your guys coming back. Love your videos.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for watching, check out more of our videos from China!

[@glittabones]

My heart sank for you two when you walked up to the closed B&M family coaster. =( A very strange experience overall! Gutted you didn't spend another day at Disneyland instead.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We managed to have a good laugh at least!

[@glittabones]

And it made good content for the channel - you two on the mobility scooters had me laughing until I choked! =D

[@Locoboy5150]

Thank you for posting this video and all of the videos from your recent China and Japan trip. I'm having a blast watching them all! When I went to Happy Valley Shanghai in 2016 I was *VERY* upset at the coaster operating procedures throughout the park. All of the coasters had packed-full queues throughout my visit but they only had one train operating on each one and the staff were dispatching trains slower than a sleepy snail. It was driving me completely insane since I'm used to Cedar Point kind of coaster throughput. The locals at the park waiting near me seemed to not be bothered by the insanity at all though and they were extremely patient. They have a much higher pain tolerance than I do. But after watching your video, now I'm very thankful that at least all of the coasters were actually open and operating when I was there. I never thought that I'd say this but lethargic single train operating procedures are *WAY* better than no operation at all. In hindsight I'm thankful that I was able to at least ride every coaster at least once. Like you guys, I have no desire to return to this park because of their operating procedures and that's a shame because Fireball is a VERY good wood coaster. (I rode it twice in the back seat.)

[@Locoboy5150]

I should also add that the footage that you showed of partially dismantled coaster trains just sitting there with nobody working on them doesn't spell success for Happy Valley. I wonder if that is a sign that the park cannot keep up with their new competition, Shanghai Disneyland. Maybe Happy Valley is cutting operational costs by closing so many coasters. Like I said in my post above, that was not the case in 2016 when I went there before Shanghai Disneyland opened. Happy Valley Shanghai better shape up otherwise they'll close up soon. Now that I think about it, that may take a while though because if you look at Japan, Nara Dreamland lasted quite a while after Tokyo Disneyland opened. Happy Valley Shanghai also has the other Happy Valley parks to make up for the potential financial loses of one park in the chain. And yes, the pre-boarding stretching exercises are weird and I've never experienced that before at any other park that I've been to. What's even weirder is that only the foreigner when I was waiting to ride (me) found the procedure odd. The local Chinese guests didn't think that it was funny or strange at all, which made it both funnier and stranger to me!

[@Locoboy5150]

I forgot to mention that Happy Valley Shanghai's pathetic coaster operating procedures and low throughput earned it the well deserved nickname "Six Flags Shanghai" about halfway through my day there. For those of you that have not been to many Six Flags parks in the US, that is not a nickname that you want slapped on your park if you're in the amusement industry at all.

[@drewwadsworth3285]

Alex could be the new mascot for Happy Valley. I'm excited for the Japan vlogs. You do a fantastic job at TPW.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@Lasperus]

This whole Asia series was gold man you deserve more subs

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for the support!

[@jennywren391]

Absolutely hilarious.......TPW - you are amazing.....really laughed my head off. Get yourselves a TV show. xxx

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching Jenny

[@elliebrown5631]

I came to this video after you mentioned it in your live on Friday night and I’ve got to say this has made my evening 😂 I spent half the video laughing! The VPN joke really got me 😭

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We had such a laugh!

[@stanleygarthwait795]

Watching this video it reminds me of when the Griswalds arrived at Walley World only to find out the park has been closed. "Sorry folks, parks closed. The moose out front should have told you."

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It very much reminded me of that too!

[@Zoe-tu3rh]

What lacked in ride availability was made up with a amazing sense of humour! Such a funny vlog! Loved it 😂😂😂😂

[@peteblanch6856]

OMG this vlog has left my partner and I in stitches. Soooo good

[@petparadise6071]

When my family lived in Shanghai for 3 years, we went here twice.! It was so fun.! I rode the mine ride, and the wooden coaster. I didn't get to ride the dive coaster or the mega-lite because they were closed both times!.!.

[@bass2bass2011]

That queue line dancing was the most cringe worthy thing I have ever seen, they were not loving it, they now think all western people are crazy!

[@GbHandlebar]

Marc Had to fast forward over that bit. :-O

[@rechtebanana]

It's a funny kind of cringe, but cringe nonetheless :^)

[@GbHandlebar]

Marc OK, a tip for Shawn. If you're wanting to entertain an unsuspecting crowd like that, start small. Make a connection with just one likely looking person and see if they're up for playing along. Because your attention is specifically on them - and they won't know what you've got in mind - they're less likely to feel awkward about responding. Once you've got that first 'victim' on your side, gradually expand your attention outwards. Others nearby will then feel that it's OK to join in, as they won't be the first. Before you know it, you'll have the attention of the whole crowd, without the danger of another 'cringe' situation. As an entertainer myself, I must have done this a thousand times. It won't always work - people are 'complicated' - but frequently does.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We have always had a reputation for cringe! We just can't help it sometimes! ;)

[@harrh4528]

Theme Park Worldwide well recovered haha

[@thapelomoabelo8020]

i went to happy valley on the 30th july 2018 and it was great. all the rides were operating. i enjoyed my day there

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I'm glad that they were open for you!

[@ThemeParkChat]

Ah These were the days!! I love shawn and Charlotte but miss the times when we had Alex and lots of others in the vlogs. Keep up the good work shawn~Joe J!❤👍

[@piginizer]

Seeing that dark ride with no operator is probably both the most terrifying and hilarious thing I've ever seen! 😱😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was so funny!

[@annegross6482]

I watch some vloggers who live in China and this is the norm lol and that's why I love China its such a strange culture to what us brits are used to but that's whats makes it so fascinating this vlog made me want to check this place out.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It really is, thanks for watching!

[@JasonBush16]

This is one of the best vlogs i've ever watched!

[@andyjarvis1489]

Love watching this again as just back after visiting Happy Valley Beijing.

[@RobertRothman_]

Great vlog! This vlog is full of some of the channels funniest moments 😂

[@jakhartopp635]

The ride looked like B&M bargains at Halloween 😂👍🏻

[@themeparkenthusiast169]

Exaclty what I was thinking 😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It really did!

[@jakhartopp635]

Theme Park Worldwide funniest vlog yet 😂 well done 👍🏻

[@callummack7098]

B&M bargains, where you can buy standup coasters for half the price!

[@danielward4868]

Aah yes my favourite manufacturer

[@roelfmeeuwissen8460]

One of the best vlogs on This channel im dying

[@mlf5418]

A sad park... a hilarious vlog!!! Thanks!!

[@clo8796]

This has got to be one of my favourite vlogs so far! So sorry you didn't get the creds but you made it so entertaining,, Alex on the mobility scooter and Shawns queue line dance 😂😂😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We tired our best to make it as entertaining as possible!

[@truemetalsonic]

If they need to film a horror film in a theme park, this place already fits the bill as a candidate

[@TheCoasterrus]

This has to be your funniest vlog yet! 😆

[@MattA-nz9ze]

Just finished the Lightwater Valley vlog! Loving this as always!

[@FROMTHECHAIRTOELSEWHERE]

absolutely loved that guys, good to see you both mucking about and having a laugh as always :)

Rollercoaster 1 has broken down

[@diamondjplayer5599]

Holy crap, I didn't know it's was a B&M now I can brag to other coasters enthusiast that a road a family B&M coaster

[@TyreeJase]

I love Sharing all all your videos Shaun , I just happen to be watching this one, so I write this randomly via here. U bring to life so much if these parks, you're detail is excellent, I trip to Blackpool on many occasions , but you really do travel!! Carry on all you're good work

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

That's a lovely thing to say, thank you for the support

[@holly.h3476]

This is so interesting! What a weird but oddly great park 😂

[@The_53rd]

I reckon i’ve watched this vlog 5 times now and it still makes me laugh. As disappointing as it was for you both, i’d have loved to see another vlog from this place, there’s something weirdly fascinating about it!

[@jawesome98]

28:32 best part of the whole video Shawn freaking out hahaha good laughs u guys are awesome!

[@ashleighsewell6133]

Love these vlogs so much never fail to put a smile on my face

[@themikeygshow1271]

It's a park full of Lightning Rods :)

[@brandonredman893]

If you want a Mega-Lite closer to you than in Shanghai you should go to Djurs Sommerland in Denmark.

[@Travelmatt23]

Well, (Un)Happy Valley, looks a very random and bizarre park and certainly one that seems shocking with operations and closed rides. On another note, this has to be one of the most hilarious Vlogs.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It has to be one of our funniest videos ever!

[@paulinehurst1550]

The dance really !!!!! everyone was mad English lol !!! Enjoyed vlog

[@jezzermeii]

I think this is the first time I have actually been in fear for your life, whilst watching one of your vlogs. This park looked so dubious and the atmosphere was very disconcerting. Hilarious, nonetheless! Haha. Glad you both survived, lol.

[@jakemarney976]

"im already going to hell" (Alex) 😂😂

[@abiart1991]

Hilarious! Thank you for brightening my day! You guys made the most of what must of been a very disappointing visit.

[@Balootoyoutoo]

21:06 Lady says something in Chinese Shawn : That’s the one

[@JammyBandStudios]

This is the funniest video I've seen in a long time 😂😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We’re glad it made you smile!

This is my favourite vlog on the channel!

[@jacksonmooney3900]

I rode Candymonium at Hershey Park yesterday! Wow! I can't wait to hear your reaction in the future...easily my new favorite coaster.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Can’t wait to ride it!

[@NICKYG2X3.]

lol the first 20 minutes i felt like iv been smoking something hahahha. great vlog so far. mobility scooter omg lol whats going on lol

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We had to make it amusing some how!

[@admanbrooks5759]

I just thought I'd watch a throwback to your not so happy Valley vlog and it's still so funny

[@harrh4528]

I feel so bad for you Happy Valley looks like an amazing park with amazing rides... I would be so upset

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very nice video and a very different park indeed. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.

[@PeepOutside]

loved this! even though you weren't massive fans of the park you still made it entertaining ~ this is the problem with theme parks in Asia (we have been to a couple in Korea) the theming and the rides just aren't up to it usually. basically it's not going to be a smooth day out like going to a Disney or universal park! it's nice to see the different parks though! looking forward to your Japan disneyland vlog but... I think we will wait to watch it as we are going in August and don't really want spoilers 😂✌ looking forward to more of your trips internationally!! big hello from Korea ~ Lucy & Lewis

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for watching and for the kind comments, we look forward to sharing more international trips in the coming years

[@haydnchan7880]

I think this park has some great potential but it seems that this park is incredibly mismanaged. What a shame !

[@corinnevanessa22]

And I so wanted you both to have a special treat 😉😂 It's a shame you didn't get to go on some of the rides but this was so entertaining 👏🏻👏🏻 Had me in stitches 🤣🤣 I think the mobility scooter needs to be in all your vlogs 👍🏻 xx

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for watching, we're glad you enjoyed it

[@corinnevanessa22]

Theme Park Worldwide 😊Thank you for the reply. Oh seriously, that was one of your best 👌🏻 I mean, I love all your vlogs but this one was just classic 😂 Really cheered me up 👍🏻 Have a great weekend xx 💋

This happy valley have some changes，hope you can have a trip here again, with all the shows it would be enjoyable gyro swing and the divingcoaster is really nice to try

[@brendanh5032]

You definitely need to come back to Happy Vally at some point. I would love to get your review on it

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Bring on our USA road trip this June where we'll try and top this!

[@GarryWilliams555]

so jealous of you guys going to all these places. hope you have fun.

[@lisafaulds4126]

This is slightly disappointing as there wasn't alot of rides for you guys to go on, however it's still so interesting to see the park and could not stop laughing at "Chinese shakira" and boyzone 😂 Also the gift shop is very interesting!😂😂 ps- love the Asia mega trip vlogs 👍👍👍

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, we're glad you enjoy our content

[@clareriley]

Guys. This is the best most entertaining vlog I've ever watched of yours and I'm over half way through them. Absolutely hilarious. I'm loving the younger you and your absolute zest for fun. You made a really awful day into one I bet you still remember for it's madness. You really have matured since here. I'm 44 and still act like this vlog when I'm in a park. I'm definitely going to watch this again when I need to watch someone turn their frown upside down. Do you still do anything with Alex?

[@oliviafox8100]

This was just hilarious🤣

[@tagonkillick2270]

question what camera do you use and what software too

[@BM24DK]

Sad for you that the Dive coaster and Mine train coaster were closed on the day.. They were my favorite ones :)

[@malcdicko6727]

what a fantastic vlog you two made a pretty dire theme park the most hilleriuus and funny brilliant alex what a pair of showman

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, we're glad you liked it!

[@trevorrandom]

Watching this one again so funny ☺ you do manage to make a positive out of a negative...

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We had such a good laugh on this trip!

[@drdewott9154]

I'm glad that you found ways to enjoy the park despite of it's problems. Also that dance exercise thing in the station is because the locals basically go into ragdoll mode when on a ride. Their body slam from side to side and they have no control of the upper body. So the park does this to straighten their muscles out so that they can actually keep themselves in one piece throughout the ride. I'm serious just try and look at some footage of Chinese people on roller coasters they're hilarious! XD also to be honest then you didn't really miss out on anything with the invert. It basically has the exact same layout as the Pterosaur at Paultons park.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for sharing that insightful information with us, makes much more sense now!
