 Scared after reading other reviews!But so glad we bought it!!! August 30, 2008
I was really afraid to purchase after reading the other reviews but I am so glad we went ahead with this slide!! We put it up for a birthday and all the kids cried when it was time for them to go!!! Me and my husband and my girls ages 1 and 3 all went sliding later that evening! It was hilarious!!! The weight limit is 400lbs!!! Make sure you put the slide on a huge tarp and we have left it out this whole month to play on and then let it dry out!!!

Lots of fun August 30, 2008
We bought this for my daughter's birthday and have used it several times. The kids love it. So far we have not had any issues with it, and hopefully it will store well over the winter.
Having Fun August 28, 2008
Overall, we are pleased with the purchase. We hav a 3 year old boy who has no fear and is a high energy, climbing son of a gun! He just about freaked out the first time he saw the slide. I blew it up and had the water on for him when he came home from daycare. He was in love instantly. The set up is very easy, you do not need to use the stakes or water bladders. After about 15 minutes the pool has enough water in it to hold the slide down.
There are 2 down sides though,
1. The clear tube that carries the water should have a pressure regulator at the split where the tube goes to the tunnel and to the slide. (sorry, I'm in engineering and construction) This would provide for an even stream of wateron both slides. I normally kink the hose going into the tunnel, because the kids really only play on the slide.
2. Take down, this is my biggest comlaint, only because it takes about a good 2 hours to do it correctly. I have 2 blower fans and am in the process of reversing the air flow in one of the fans to create a vacuum. This should help with the time waiting for the slide to deflate. This should also help with rolling up the slide. The bag the slide came in is a joke, I just use it now as a storage bag for all the pieces.
Other than those 2 infractions, We have a blast watching our boy and his friends have a blast on his water slide. It sure helps beat the Texas heat. As time goes by, I can't wait to see the new designs as this company matures.
Oh yeah, GIG "Em AGGIES!!!!!!
Fun in the Sun! August 27, 2008
Great product! My daughter (4yrs old) loves it and has spent countless hours playing with friends on it. It is made of durable material so I'm sure it will withstand the test of time! Fast delivery too!
Well worth the money... August 27, 2008
My husband and I decided that we wanted to buy an inflatable water slide this summer instead of spending a ton of money on a summer vacation and gas to drive there. After researching several different water slides, and reading several reviews, we decided to buy the Banzai Sidewinder Blast Bundle through Amazon (it was less expensize than other sites, and it included a body bord, a beach ball, and two water guns).
Set up the first time is easy. The instructions are a little hard to understand because of the poor english, but not impossible. The best bet is too unroll the slide, hook up the fan, and turn on. It inflates in about 3 minutes, and is pretty impressive right away. We placed a small umbrella over the fan to protect it from the sun, as well as any water drops that might make their way down to the fan. Make sure that it is set up on grass, and get it in as level of a spot as you can. After it is inflated, it is easier to stake down and install the water hose. We found that the water hose had some kinks in it from being packaged, but we were able to undue the kinks after setting it in the sun for a few minutes.
Before you turn the water on, you might want to inspect the slide to see if there are any holes or tears...we didn't experience any. Once the water hose is in place, the two 40 lb water bladders are in place(they serve as anchors), and everything is staked down, your ready to turn the water on and have fun.
The body board that comes with the bundle makes sliding down really fun, and really fast. We had this set up several times throughout the summer, and had kids playing on it ranging from 5 to 15. We even had a few adults sliding on it too, and they had a blast as well. The important thing is to have adult supervision to keep the rough-housing to a dull roar, and keep the dare devils in check. We had some kids who played pretty rough but the slide held up, it didn't tear or rip any where.
We wanted to make the slide last a few times (if not a few summers) so we took care to make sure that it was dry when we put it away. In order to drain the water out of the pool area(the pool comes with a plug, but we found that because of the location and design of the plug, it was near impossible to utilize it and get all the water out), we turned the fan off and let the water spill over the sides and drain out the small sliding area. Just make sure that the water doesn't spill over to where the fan is located. We then turned the fan back on and used towels to wipe the rest of the slide off. We let it dry over night before we put it away. Don't even attempt to use the bag it came in. We purchased a large starage tub ahead of time, and that is were the slide lives when not in use. Make sure the slide is completely dry or you will have a mildew problem that may damage the slide.
All in all I would say that aside from a few design flaws, the slide made for excellent summer fun, and I would recommend this to anyone. Kids of all ages love it! With a little extra care, I see this lasting more than one summer.
