Sounds like the first phase will be pretty much what we are already seeing (and what the latest concept showed), I mean, we already knew this project wasn't going to live up to the original one but now it's just plain downfall and disappointment..

The worst thing is that they're still milking Cirque to try to get support or interest, even though not even the show seems to be secured at this point (I know they still should be partners and guess the round structure should be the venue but idk), and as sad as the "park" looks, I don't think it will ready to open this year either...

The development plan of VidantaWorld will unfold in several phases and will consist of three distinct and immersive parks. The first, EPIK Dream Park, will include attractions built by world-class suppliers such as MACK Rides, Intamin, Vekoma, and Zamperla. The initial phase of EPIK Dream Park will include never-before-seen experiences such as Vista Wheel, an incredible ferris wheel that transforms into a multi-media light show spectacle by night; The Crater, a striking volcanic fountain; Jungle Valley, magical landscapes with fascinating dining options; and, The Lake Show, a stunning production with talented artists, breathtaking scenery and dazzling lights, honoring the music of Carlos Chávez, one of Mexico's most influential composers and the beloved late uncle of Grupo Vidanta founder Daniel Chávez Morán. In addition, following the success of Cirque du Soleil JOYÀ—the first Cirque du Soleil resident show in Mexico and the first-ever Cirque du Soleil dinner show in the world—and Jungala Aqua Experience, both located at Vidanta Riviera Maya, upcoming phases of VidantaWorld will include exclusive experiences such as a whole realm dedicated to Cirque du Soleil and a land filled with world-class water attractions for adventure-loving families.
