"Three of the rides are in place — the observations wheel, the Aerobar and one of the roller coasters," according to Paradise Pier Fun Park/Margaritaville Resort Biloxi spokeswoman Tessy Lambert.
"The other 12 rides are on the way from where they were manufactured in Europe," she said, "and Paradise Pier Fun Park will open once all are in place. The rides are being delivered by boat and we’re at the mercy of the shippers.”
Don't get too excited about her saying "one of the roller coasters", since the other is actually a Disk'O ride.

Yes. You were correct back when you posted that in April. The three attractions already in place are the only ones not manufactured by Zamperla, which seems to be having trouble getting them to the park, since the company apparently had the rides ready to ship earlier this summer.

During the winter of 2023/2024 the rest of the 100.000.000 EUR investmentplan will re-start after Covid-19 and the floodings from 2021.

Interestingly, the shorter, arguably more interesting layout has been switched to private. First, I don't understand how it is such a frequent problem that coaster manufacturers post videos without having them set to private if that is indeed what they want. Second, it begs the question as to why they feel the need to make that particular model private.

Wait did you take a screenshot of that layout at all?
