I would love to see an Atlantis resort build on Oahu, especially in Kapolei. This is a beautiful area of Oahu, away from the madness of Waikiki Beach. Not that I don't like Waikiki Beach.

There are a few obstacles to an Atlantis resort with a water park in Ko 'Olina. While not nearly as good as an Atlantis water park , there is already a water park nearby in Kapolei, plus the newer Wai Kai wave pool in Ewa Beach

There was already a little bit of community opposition to Wai Kai, there would probably be a bit more to yet another water park in West O'ahu, which is the dry side of the island where water usage levels are sometimes a concern.

At any rate, has the new landowner even expressed an interest in building an Atlantis resort with a water park? So far all I've seen is that it was the previous owner's plan.

So, still no neighbour for MVC (yet)🥳👍😎

Last I saw, a good while ago, one of those spaces was going to become a concert venue for Asian pop concerts but I guess that's no longer the case.

Would be nice if they extended the light rail system to Ko Olina so you could get there without a car.

What they have is drastically over Budget and years behind. It is questionable if they can afford to complete the original plan.

Well they should be tolling the freeways to reduce traffic congestion. That should generate plenty of revenue.

Without a substantially enhanced and enlarged Light Rail System (which they can not afford to build) they can not afford to reduce cars on the Road.

If they could stop Tourist from using the Roads that would help. Maybe they should impose a $100 per day Tax on all car rentals to help fund improvements.

If they charged people would just stop driving so much. Most trips are discretionary anyway.
