In April 2019 Six Flags/Riverside Group submitted to the Haiyan government a detailed layout plus concept art of Six Flags Hurricane Harbor (and the adjacent Six Flags theme park): https://www.themeparx.com/hangzhou-bay-sunac-tourism-city/?p=14715#post14715
Now, Sunac has resubmitted plans to the government showing a slightly updated design to the waterpark. The layout of the theme park is identical because it is probably just placeholder until Sunac finalizes the design of the theme park. The two main differences between the design of Six Flags Hurricane Harbor and now Sunac Water Park are the wave pool stage which was located on the side has been moved to the middle replacing the lighthouse and a four-person family raft slide planned near the entrance is removed with nothing in its place.
Here's the latest progress on the theme park's ferris wheel and the view from the top:

The waterpark, scheduled to open on June 26, 2021, is progressing quickly with rides and the wave pool testing:
Sunac is planning to open the adjacent theme park by the end of 2022 and just this week work resumed on the first ride - a ferris wheel:
I say worked resumed because back in 2018 the foundation of the ferris wheel had already been built, as seen here: https://www.themeparx.com/hangzhou-bay-sunac-tourism-city/?p=13868#post13868
Lastly, the indoor snow park which was not part of the Six Flags plans but is part of Sunac's new plans is scheduled to begin construction in September 2021.

ORIA, an architecture company based in Shanghai, has been commissioned to design the main entrance and exterior of the flying theater ride for Hangzhou Bay Sunac Cultural Tourism City's theme park, which of course was originally going to be Six Flags. The flying theater was not planned for Six Flags but has since been added to the design. The theme is now science fiction/futuristic.

The waterpark is progressing nicely ahead of its opening next year:

Interestingly it seems some work is taking place on both sides of what was going to be Thrillseeker Plaza:
