Happy Valley Beijing

I love to go to Six Flags Great American and enjoy all the heart dropping rides there are, but going to the same amusement park for five years becomes dull after a while. So I did a little research and found another amusement park that I would love to go to except that it is halfway around the world. This amusement park called Happy Valley is located 10 km from the center of Beijing, China. It has six theme parks called Aegean Sea, Ant Kingdom, Atlantis, Firth Forest, Lost Maya, and Shangri-La. These themes include Chinese culture as well as figures of Greek mythology. The whole park covers an area close to about 386,102 square miles and it opened in July of 2006. It contains a total of 30 rides, 10 extreme rides, an IMAX, 7 cinemas, kiddie rides and 120 games. The admission fee is 140 yuan which is about $17.50 in US dollars. This park also includes Chinese culture such as Chinese Spring Festival and Water-Splashing Festival. At the Water-Splashing Festival, people sprinkle water on each other to symbolize good luck. Besides these festivals, there are many others such as the Pop Music Festival where grand music is created for you by the super band, Maximal Exercise Festival where you can ride skateboards to bicycle riding, and International Magic Day where top magicians from all over the world come to perform for you. I wouldn't mind to take part in any or, if possible, all these festivals. If there is one ride that I would love to go on, it would be the Aztec Sun ride. This ride is like a huge swing with a spin to it!
