Review of U.S. National Whitewater Cente...

Had a great day at the center. Five of us visited and the day was nearly flawless and without any issues, 2 exceptions...we arrived early so we could do everything (not just the water sports). The "Mega Zip" was much anticipated in our group as well as many others'. After purchasing our All Sport/All Day Passes, the second I signed their copy of the receipt the girl at the counter informs us the "Mega Zip is closed today...sorry". Seems like they should of come clean up front as you can "tailor" your pass. Hell, if we'd have know that we'd have only purchased the water sport passes and kayaked and rafted all day and saved $30.
Also, being an avid white water enthusiast, I own an Astral Greenjacket Rescue PFD and obviously I had it. I was informed by one of the "managers" that this jacket was unsuitable and that I would have to wear one of their sun faded, ripped, foul smelling, one-size-fits-all jackets...really??? To that guy, " you sure earned your stripes that day, Congratulations"
Other than these minor aggravations it was a great day!
