BON Luxury Theme Park | Vidanta World | Mexico | Theme Park

From some recent drone footage out of Vidanta World, there's been a good scope on construction;

The junior coaster track has been wrapped up for the time being;

The Phoenix layout SFC is also going along smoothly;

Not entirely sure what this is going to be but it's intriguing;

There's been a third set of footers poured close to the invert, this could be that wacky launch coaster teased last week but time will tell;

More progress on Vidanta World as of late;

Junior coaster has more structure built over the lift hill;

The Vekoma SFC has been set up in all its glory. There's some extra footers wrapping around part of it, they may be for theming;

A Zamperla NebulaZ has also been set up closer to the completed Ferris/Coaster Wheel, because of course Vidanta has to have one of these;

A new themed district is also fast taking shape;

Today's been a devastating morning in the theme park world so perhaps there's an intent to brighten the mood a bit;

Last summer Vekoma showed off their new Beat It dueling shoot the chutes for Vidanta World, in which riders will race to the top by... beating their drums. Losing gets soaked on the drop, not too new but here it is;

What is very new however are shipments from last week for a fourth Vekoma coaster. These be columns for a Switch Back Mine Train, similar to what's going on at Dreamworld in Australia.

A new construction update shows the Vekoma Beat It flume coming along well.

There's also some strange brown Vekoma track that's shown up on site. It's reminiscent of Big Bear Mountain's track but there are added support ties for what I assume would be wooden beams?

This would be for the Switchback Coaster (documented in the post above), using the tilted turntable system. The wide curved platform from the prototype also seems to be present and correct here. Pretty sure this is known only in this thread, as of posting I've not seen another source mention this;

Elsewhere they're digging foundations along the southern ridge for what's assumedly that crazy looping coaster that was teased last summer;

The thing that surprised me the most in that video was the fact that there is an Arthur clone coming! I wonder how it will be themed?
 
Some more pictures of the site, the Mack inverted powered coaster has started construction. The layout is said to be similar or the same as Arthur at Europa, RCDB also says the park is called BON luxury theme park.

The switch track for the mine train is also in.

Holy crap, that second half (initially thought it was the first half but realised theres two launches) of Tecuani beast looks absolutely wild! Tophat, strange deconstructed sea serpent roll/non inverting loop thing, corner stall, into that low roll! That roll must be taken at some speed considering the elements it immediately follows and the height of the elements after it! Wildly impressive, I can’t wait to see it testing! We need more of these vekomas!

As I am visiting Mexico this time, I hoped the park would open. I contacted the park opening hours and prices are still unknown. The article talks about 14 attractions, but I could only find 11 listed by the park. I wonder if all the attractions will open, I haven't seen any pictures of the water-ride/coaster ride so far.

This is an update from Aug 14th on Themeparx.

I'm flabbergasted that they're conducting previews in October considering a whole portion of the park doesn't even look like it's begun landscape development yet. Within that back corner of the park in the first photo is the Vekoma Switchback coaster, I believe a flying theater, and also I believe the concrete support columns behind the flying theater building are for the train loop.

That would probably explain the 3 missing attractions from the website: the Switchback, Flying Theater, and Flume (assuming the train is opening with just a partial route).

Probably safe to assume that corner of the park will be a later phased opening?
