Oasis at Lakeport, a new $300 million amusement park and entertainment district, is being created at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri.
St. Louis-based SkyView Partners and Tegethoff Development are developing the attraction, which is due to open in summer 2024. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2023. The plans have been submitted to Osage Beach, Missouri.
“Oasis at Lakeport will be an offering unlike any other in the region,” said Todd Schneider, co-managing partner of SkyView Partners.
“We are excited about the opportunity to form a partnership with the Osage Beach community to build a new entertainment district for generations to enjoy.”

“We look forward to elevating the family-friendly offerings at this proven tourist destination,” he added.
Oasis at Lakeport will boast 20 acres of amusement park attractions – from thrill rides and coasters to family-friendly attractions and an observation wheel. It will also include hotels, restaurants, an amphitheatre, marina and boardwalk.
It is being constructed at the Lakeport marina, which was acquired by Big Thunder Marine in 2021.
Fred Ross, owner of Big Thunder Marine, said: “Our pursuit of this property was propelled by an unwavering vision of its eventual development into an iconic family-focused entertainment epicenter, and a tremendous asset to the Lake of the Ozarks.”

Mike Kehoe, lieutenant governor of Missouri, said the development will create more than 500 jobs and attract 500,000 visitors to Missouri.
Kehoe added: “I welcome this project for its future impact on mid-Missouri’s economy as well as its commitment to bringing a centrally located, state-of-the-art entertainment district to the Osage Beach community.”
Osage Beach mayor Michael Harmison said the local community “has been asking for more family-friendly entertainment options”.
“This world-class team has a proven track record of providing high quality developments and attractions across the US,” he added.
