Sportsworks is a fun place; however, we had a very disappointing day today. Staff at the rock wall would not let my daughter on. I waited in line & she stepped out for a bit with my older daughter. After being in line for 45 minutes & at the line s end, where you harness up, there is a notice about no line holding. This verbiage should be at the beginning of the line NOT the end so that people are aware & can comply. Regardless, it was not unfair to people behind me. I was a single person who waited in line for a single participant. I was not holding a spot for more than one person. I could have climbed the rock wall, technically, because I never left the line. And, that s what I would have at least insisted on had I not been wearing sandals. In the end, I let 6 people ahead of me when I reached the start, and my daughter wasn t back yet.
Staff was inconsiderate & bullying in their response to my suggestion that the sign can t be fully complied with due to its location. They refused to harness my daughter & we left disappointed. By this point an hour of my life wasted.
Be aware that staff will not accommodate any momentary departures from line, restroom breaks, etc.
Photo below shows where the no holding line sign is (at the harness attaching section on the left) See the long line reaching out to the right.
