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.

Today Universal Beijing Resort released a nice little video showing the real snow falling at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter:

A new promotional video recently released by Dream Bund of Hengdian World Studios shows the tram simulator and dome simulator rides which are both expected to open soon plus new concept art for an upcoming virtual reality ride which seems to be similar to 'The Twilight Saga: Midnight Ride' ride at Lionsgate Entertainment World. I like how it has the motorbike and sidecar seating configuration just like Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure:

The Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism revealed today that Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment recently submitted a plan to postpone the opening of the resort (phase 1 which is not the theme park) from June 2022 to the first half of 2023. The delay is blamed on "construction costs" and COVID-19.

Import records show that a ride manufactured by Sansei Technologies in Japan has been imported to Universal in Orlando. The vague descriptions label the imports as "track column" and "track rail" so the exact ride is not specified. I assume this ride is for Universal's Epic Universe but it could potentially be for Universal Studios or Universal's Islands of Adventure. The imports have taken place as recently as January 8, 2021.

The first ride for Vidanta World, a 40 meter tall Parachute Tower by Intamin, is being imported this week. According to import records, the ride originated of course in Liechtenstein, then was transferred to Germany, then to Texas and now to its final destination in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.
