In my opinion, attractions in the AD are too far apart once you get there to make mass transit serving the area viable. It would be different if once you got there everything was within walking distance but nothing is except maybe the Zoo and Science Museum. I know from personal experience that after hauling a couple of kids around the OKC zoo in the summer the last thing (and I mean the last thing) I would want to do is wait for a shuttle bus to take me back to a train that I have to wait again for.

If I suggested to my wife that we take this transit option she would tell me to go ahead, she is taking the car and will meet me there.

And sorry, but using a ROW simply because it exist is the worst idea ever. You have to go where the people want to go and where ridership will exist. You can build a train where it is easy but that doesn't mean anyone will ride it. WRWA has way more potential for ridership and should be built 20 years before the adventure line.

Now if it is going to be a line serving neighborhoods along the way - which high density neighborhoods would that be?
I agree. WRWA is one of the obvious assets that requires development. ( another reason Rail Road use makes all things more difficult ). Light Rail is a must in the selection of moving people ( large density first ) w/ WRWA to Downtown / Norman -OKC -Edmond / and HIgh Value Economic Districts.
