That project is still underdway. There was an update meeting in November 2012 but I could not find specific details about what was presented. There is still reference to completion of the first line in late 2013

Delayed by lack of money.

What ever happened to the C-Loop idea?
The idea sort of morphed into the Clifton Corridor planning, which was in the TSPLOST. Of course that didn't pass but MARTA still has the line in its long term plans.

What ever happened to the Multi-modal Passenger Terminal?
That's in active planning, although the only modes may be bus, car, bike and pedestrian for a while.

I've never heard of that but they did enact a new SPI there. There's a good bit of construction underway and on the near horizon.

Yep, it's under construction.

What ever happened to making Water Works into a park?
The former is still under development. The land has been acquired.
The latter has been nixed due to Homeland Security issues as I understand it.

The GLG Grand and the Mayfair Towers have been open for years.

I remember all of these (and could comment on them, but won't) except for...
Disney Theme Park?
College Sports and SEC Museum?
Cultural Museum? (Though I do vaguely remember something about Southern History/Cultural Museum, I think. African-American as well.)
Atlanta Center Tower and CNN Turner Tower? I've never heard of those ideas. Are they supposed to be observation towers like Tokyo Sky Tree or CN Tower (Toronto)? I also haven't heard of the observation tower in Atlantic Station idea, but that would be cool.
What I recall of the 17th Street Bridge iconic symbol project is that it was pushed by the AJC (maybe others) but the GDOT said...no...we're building...a bridge.
