Ok, in my attempt to go back to the original thread, according to the latest WoR:

There's a huge chance that we're not gonna see Beacon or Vale for quite some time in this Volume and, instead, the action will take place in a new location (F'cking finally!)

I don't recall seeing Beacon on the backgrounds at the Festival but I could be wrong. After all, Vale and Ozpin are in charge of this year's Vytal Festival and we all saw the decorations and students arriving. Perhaps Vale will serve as a hotel for everyone visiting and the real stuff will happen at the place marked by the map like in a real life carnival.

As for Cinder's plan. Now we have a new piece of info: The tournament won't take place at Vale but at the north of it instead. This could mean that all the hunters and security will focus on one place at a time thus leaving Vale with a low guard while everyone is focused on the tournament way to the north. Also, if the Tournament is meant to be a sign of peace, what better way to start a war by committing terrorism right now? The virus's purpose could also be to put the blame on one of the kingdoms for whatever attack she's planning.
