Big Curve Plunge Water Park

I just ordered this for my daughter for her up coming 6th birthday party. We had another Banzai Water slide that we used for the last 4 years. Last summer we had to put it to rest. LOL! We put the new slide up to make sure nothing was wrong with it before her birthday and she played on it with a friend for 5 hours. I had to make them get out. At first I was sad because we couldnt find one like our old one and was kind of worried this one would not be as big due to what everyone keeps saying about the size. However it is everything we could of hoped for and more. I just hope it will last as long as the other.

I got this on sale and it was well worth the money!! I found it easier for my first set-up to inflate it a little bit to find the correct spots to place the two sprayers (top inside of the slide and on the gun at the end of the slide). It's basically 2 hoses that are connected and have a balloon shaped pad, with multiple holes, on each end and is secured by Velcro. It fully inflated in about 30 seconds and the directions didn't state where the quick air release was located that you strap shut tightly so we had to find it after the initial inflation, which is toward the end of the slide. I also like the fact that it has a fairly long power cord. There is quite a bit of water loss like everyone stated but our lawn could use the water. Of course water gets in the seams, it's inflatable! It is made of a parachute type vinyl material which is very durable so far. You do need to inflate it after you let the water out, which isn't that hard either, so it can fully dry out before you put it up. It comes with a carry case but since we use it everyday I haven't had the need to see if it will actually fit inside it. It would be nice if they had some type of water pump to recycle the water instead of wasting because our kids play on it so long every day that I have to let water out every so often, but I also turn the water pressure down so it doesn't spray as much. It's not really a big deal but almost every time I have to adjust and re-position the sprayer at the top of the slide, even though it wasn't touched before or after I turned the blower off, because sometimes its too high and sprays outside of the slide (wasting more water). I don't really like the spray gun either because I can't seem to get it positioned anywhere else except toward the steps which are outside of the pool or end of the slide and my kids (ages 4, 6 and 8 years old) don't like being sprayed in the face so I usually just have to leave it hanging down toward the pool. I use a tarp by the steps so they don't get mud and grass all over it. It also comes with stakes but I couldnt get them in the ground (maybe because the ground was so hard from the lack of rain and high temps in Oklahoma) so I used some thinner metal ones I already had and just secured the area around the slide/steps because the water holds the pool area secure enough for me. All in all we love it and I would've given it 5 stars except for the little things that I mentioned.

We bought this inflatable water slide last summer and my kids had a blast with it. We stored the slide as the directions said during the winter, once it started getting warm we got the inflatable water slide out and the fabric was a joke. While getting it out of the bag and unfolding it we could see places were the fabric was creased and made little tares and impressions in the fabric. This caused issue with holding air. We contacted the company and the company does not stand behind there produce. They told us the product has a 90 day warranty. We did try to patch it though that failed due to so many creases in the fabric which allowed the air to escape. After spending all this money you would think it would last for years and years though it didn't. We know a few people in are subdivision that had the same issue with their inflatable water slides.

We bought this slide for our two four year olds and love it. I particularly like the fact that the "ladder" up to the slide is on the front of the slide/same side as the pool & slide, so the kids are never out of sight while using the slide. The holes on the ladder are well-spaced for little hands, but not too close to make it difficult for the bigger kids to use. We have had a couple of other slides in the past and found where the hole placement (too far apart) made it too difficult for younger children to climb without assistance. Several children can play on the slide and in the pool at the same time without getting in each other's way. This slide has held up very well and we anticipate getting a few summer seasons of use out of it.

My kids (ages 6 & 2 1/2) LOVE this slide! They beg us to set it up every day! Sets up within minutes once you figure out where you want it to go the first time. It's a little bit cumbersome to take down night after night, but we are willing to make the effort in order for the slide to last. We found this slide at a Wal-Mart near us for $169, so check the stock of the stores near you & call about the price!!!! The only negatives we have found so far are 1) the cord to the blower needs to be a bit longer since you cannot use an extension cord and 2) you have to leave the water running the entire time, but other than those 2 things, we LOVE this slide!!!
