Banzai Sidewinder Blast Bundle (Sidewinder Falls Slide with Bonus Fun Pack)

We had a swim party for about 12 eleven year old boys. It was the hit of the party - they never even got in the real pool. I think one more summer and they may be too old but we have another big swim party for 32 next June - so we are keeping a good thought. My son thought it was too babyish until he saw it blown up and then it was "cool". They jumped in and out with their own water guns.

Banzai Falls Splash Blast Lagoon

My five and two year old love this waterslide. I like it because the pool is also inflated so that the children do not go under water when they land at the bottom of the slide. It is very easy for the children to climb and get in and out of.

Pipeline Twist Aqua Park with 2 Water Cannons

We bought this slide in May 2008 and had a fantastic summer with it. It is very big and we stored it in one of those kiddy plastic pools. We'd set it up in the morning and it easily accomodated all of the 12 kids 8 and under in our neighborhood. The only drawbacks are that it is a bit of a pain to dry out. It really could have used better holes and drainage spots. But that is a minor thing - I very much recommend it.

Banzai Falls Mega Racer

I have read all the reviews and have been quite surprised by all the negativity. We have had our slide for over 3 years now. The kids use it all of the time...we live in FL. The fabric has held up great and we have not had any problems what so ever. We have all the neighborhood kids (ranging in all ages - even my husband) on it and have used it for many parties so it has definitely had its fair share of use. I would say it has held up to its value, without a doubt.

Double Drop Raceway

I purchased this slide in August for a combined party for my 6 and 8 year olds. So we had lots of kids from age 4 to 10 using it. It wasn't difficult to set up at all. (The water weights could use an adaptor for filling though.) We were able to get in about 4 uses before we packed it up for the season. It has held up just fine. We did notice some small holes on the bottom, but these don't pose a problem as it sits on them and thus will block any air flow. I recommend this product.

Mega Bouncer (8' X 8' X 59")

We bought this on sale, for $[...] and free shipping. [...] I wouldn't recommend buying the balls online, as you'll be paying too much for shipping. [...] The bouncer is really durable. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the blower motor has to be on at all times to keep it inflated. Believe it or not but I wasn't aware of that when I purchased it for my 18 month old. She was afraid of it at first because the motor is loud, and when it blew up she thought it was sucking mommy in! But after forcing her in it a few times, she started liking it. I wouldn't buy it for children under 3 who cannot jump with both feet at the same time yet. My daughter doesn't really jump in it, she wants me to go in it with her and roll her around on top of ...

The Plunge

from: Manley

January 01, 2008
We bought the Plunge water slide on Amazon.com for a great price...almost $100 cheaper than stores were selling it. It arrived sooner that we expected, even with the free shipping. The kids LOVE it! The reviews I read were very helpful. For instance, someone said that if you don't move the slide it will kill the grass. This is true. After the first use, I left it in the same place for 2 days, to dry, as suggested. The grass started to die, so the next time we used it I moved it right after we let the water out. This has really helped save the grass. Although, if you have a perfect lawn, you may not want to deal with it because it does take its toll on the yard. One complaint I have is that the electric cord is not long enough to use without an ... Read More:

Jungle Blast Slide

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Blower Powered Waterslides
from: Banzai

January 01, 2008
This slide was expensive and yet we were certain it would be a multi-summer investment for our one ten year old child. However, we now doubt that we will get more than one season out of it. We have used it for one and a half months with only one ten year old girl playing on it intermittently and already it is splitting at the seams in multiple places and has a hole that continues to grow at the entry to the green tunnel. Naturally, our return policy has lapsed and we have wasted a lot of money on an inferior product. I see several complaints here of the same nature and all I can say is buyer beware. Your money would be better spent on seasonal water park tickets!

Twin Blast Rapids

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Blower Powered Waterslides
from: Manley

January 01, 2008
After reading some reviews about this slide I was worried it would not hold up. However, I had a birthday party for my 6 year old and I had 13 kids playing on this slide for about 3 hours. There ages ranged from 2 to 12 years old. There were no issues. You need to supervise the kids somewhat or they will do things it was not made for. It takes quite a bit of time to dry out. It was definitely worth the $$ and I highly recommend it. I'm 6' and 190 lbs and had a blast going down it several times. I don't recommend someone my size sliding down on a regular basis but it held up just fine. You will need to buy a container to store it, I bought a 55 gallon bin from Walmart and it barely fits, cover won't close. I recommend a larger container. Hope this helps ... Read More:
