上海欢乐谷

This guide to Happy Valley Shanghai centers on the Diving Coaster, the park's signature ride, and the deliberate pause it builds in at the top of its climb before the drop. It traces the ride style back to the Swiss engineering firm Bolliger and Mabillard and to an American cousin ride in Florida, then turns to the park's 2009 opening as the fourth Happy Valley built by China's OCT Group. Listen for the Wooden Coaster nearby, nicknamed Fireball, the first wooden roller coaster ever built in China.
