“With construction underway, we are targeting a Summer 2025 grand opening for Oasis with restaurants and numerous amusement offerings, including roller coasters, a 200-foot-tall observation wheel and thrill and family rides,” said Todd Schneider, co-managing partner of SkyView Partners. “Oasis at Lakeport will offer family-friendly offerings to the Osage Beach community and numerous tourists who are looking for memorable activities and experiences to share with family and friends.”
