On July 16 Sunac had a big presentation about Hangzhou Bay Sunac Cultural Tourism City where they shared new concept art and details:
The full presentation can be seen here: https://live.fang.com/liveshow/play/tuwenvod/1251953760-concatFile-700845b3c13c1ada49ecf38211f3c02ct0/12/sh/wap/0/
Most of the presentation is not worth watching except for the promotional video which starts at 47:40
Six Flags seems to have not been mentioned at all and it's likely that the parks will be rebranded as Sunac Land and Sunac Water Park. It is unknown how accurate the concepts are but at least some of the design for Six Flags will remain regardless of how the parks are branded. Sunac mentions a few specific rides coming to the park including an observation wheel and flying theater.
The waterpark is still on track to open in July 2021 and everything else will open gradually through 2025.
Meanwhile, construction on the waterpark is progressing quickly:

Government officials visiting the site of Six Flags Zhejiang on July 5 - the parks' layout seem to be the same as Riverside's Six Flags so it is still assumed but unofficial that the Six Flags branding will remain.

Not everything is clear/confirmed yet but apparently Sunac will now be involved in the development of at minimum Six Flags theme park Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in Haiyan, Zhejiang. The resort destination might be rebranded to Hangzhou Bay Sunac Cultural Tourism City. It is assumed right now that the Six Flags name/rebranding will remain so Six Flags and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor will be located within/a part of Hangzhou Bay Sunac Cultural Tourism City. Construction has officially resumed on the parks in Zhejiang and Sunac plans to first open the waterpark in July 2021.

Sunac's involvement in the other Six Flags parks planned for Chongqing, Nanjing, and Fuzhou are not confirmed but likely. If Sunac does end up developing the parks in Chongqing, they will be about a half hour drive from the Chongqing Sunac Cultural Tourism City which is about to open.
