"Happy yet cautious" | 2008-10-03 |

| I had read many reviews and bought this with caution, I had two birthday parties coming up near the end of summer. I figured if I rented something it was going to cost about 300 for both parties. I bought the Banzai on clearance for the same cost. It was great!!! We set it up for both parties. I decided not to get on it until both parties were over, (225 lb) but when both parties were over, me and my family had a blast. I was expecting it to fall apart at the seams like I had seen in other reviews. IT worked great. After the final day of play. I let the water out and had to flip it over to get most of the water out. The next day I set it up to air dry. Took the shop vac and picked up all extra water and grass which had got into the pool area. At the end of the day it was as dry as can be. Folded it up and put it in a plastic bin. Use the bag it came in to store the airpump and water tubes. (which I blocked the pistol cannons so more water would go down the slide) Can hardly wait for next year. |

| We purchased the slide with the intention of using it for our 9 year old son's birthday party. The slide "survived" the pounding and playing of (8) 9 year old boys. We are very pleased with our purchase and would recommend buying the product. The assembly was fairly easy. It does take a bit of time to disassemble it - but it is worth the time to completely dry it out and have it ready for the next time. "Happy Sliding!" |

"Not bad, but tube quality suffers" | 2008-10-02 |

| This is a decent enough outdoor water slide from Banzai Falls (Toyquest). The pump is plenty powerful enough to inflate, but you need A LOT of water pressure to get all the sprayers working well. If you don't need the spray guns, you can clamp off the tubes supplying water to them. Speaking of tubes, they came packaged and wrapped so tightly that they have yet to get all the kinks out (lucky there were no splits or holes)even after a dozen or so uses.br /You also need to be aware that it takes A LOT of water to fill up the pool to a depth that is safe and fun for the sliders. And when you are done and deflate it, it is A LOT of water that has to go somewhere.br /Some good qualities include safety netting at the top and what appears to be good material. Lesson learned from past Banzai Falls slide include the fact that it is well worth it to purchase a tarp to cover the slide when not in use to keep the UV rays off it. |

| This is great family fun! It is a huge hit with the kids, including the neighbors, making our house the fun house! My only complaint would be the drying process. We had to let it dry as much as possible and then wipe out the splash pool and any other wet surfaces, and then let it air dry some more before putting it up for the season. Over all the product is a great buy! |

| I got this slide for my 7 year olds birthday party. They had a ton of fun and enjoyed it all weekend. The first day of use however, it did have a seam that opened up on the slide portion. I don't know if it was already there or occured in the first 1 1/2 hours of usage. It still worked though and I sewed it up with fishing line. From some of the other reviews, I wasn't totally shocked that this happened, but hoped it would hold up longer before it happened. |

| This slide has been a blast for my two year old and all of her cousins and friends. She loves this thing and we drag it out almost every weekend. Well worth the price. The only thing we altered was we split the water tubing and added another hose hookup so the top sprayer has it's own water supply. It really blasts now! Highly recommended! |
