I'd be pretty shocked if the plan was to make it up as they go along. That's more a symptom of network television than cable tv.
I also wouldn't characterize speculation about the greater plot points as "wild conspiracy theories".
There's obviously something more going on here. The maze and the secret programming obviously show that Dr. Ford isn't disclosing the whole truth about the park. On the superficial level we have an amusement park. Beneath that we have some kind of experimentation into creating artificial life. The desire to create has obviously driven something darker. A main theme of the show is that the difference between artificial life and real life has been blurred, so we'll likely see more of that as the show progresses.
The audience is supposed to be guessing at what's going on here at this point. I'd say this show has a lot more in common with Mr. Robot, in that sense. I don't know why Lost or True Detective are being brought up at all.
