Just returned, there seem to be about 4 hotel buildings roughed in, but not complete. There is a large earthen embankment going around the site.

Saw them actively pouring concrete roadbed every time we drove by, and not by the entrance plaza.

According to one of the Vidanta hotel managers, they have completed the underground utilities, so above ground progress will become more apparent.

At my presentation last week I was told that their would be a Cirque show and a Cirque Academy at the site. An ex-Disney engineer now in charge of the design side. From the limited view driving past the site I could see a massive amount of earthworks had been done. Construction of access roads and gatehouses were going on.

They told me that Cirque du Soleil is involved in the project. They completely changed the configuration of the park.

Thank you so much for the update. Was there mention of Cirque's ongoing participation and which phase they may control.

I just came from a high level presentation and I had the opportunity to visit the construction site. There’s a lot of people working there 24 hours a day. There’s big improvement. All the buildings in a row that you see on the satellite map are the Hotel Celebration. The others are the Kingdom of the Sun and Cascade. They are supposed to open the first phase in 18 months and the Nocturne Forest in 2022. They would like to open it in December 2019 but I personally think that it's going to be later. They also want to build a gondola that will bring the members directly to the park.

This is a recent rendering of the theme park. It closely aligns with the work being done.
There are so many rumors and speculation. From a sales rep at Vidanta I was told that instead of opening in phases they would open the entire park all at once in 2021.
No one seems to have any firm information.

New satellite imagery from today that shows that the largest resort on the bottom continues to rise and a lot of dirt around the site is being moved around but that's about it right now...

Thank you so much.
