BANZAI Big Blast Water Park

We did initially feel like this was quite pricey, but after doing a lot of research, If you pay attention to the size dimensions and features of these inflatable water park/ slide toys, the price we paid for this is about what each of them of comparable kinds are going for. There are some sales sometimes but we didn’t want to wait too long into our short summer or chance them selling out so we paid the full price on this of about $400.My friends 12 year old son has this exact one and still uses and enjoys it with his friends to this day, he got it when he was 8, so it’s held up really well going on 4 years for him now, which is why we decided to purchase it for my 3 year old daughter. Knowing she could get 4 years use out of it at the very least and probably many more.We had purchased a Costco inflatable pool earlier this year and man that thing was a PAIN. It was a pain to fill up, to drain, to keep clean and to even keep upright and properly inflated.This huge structure, which has so much more to it, is somehow SO much easier to manage!!My girlfriend got it completely unboxed, assembled and set up by herself in under an hour and after learning how it all works, we are able to get it up and running from its duffel bag in the garage, to our backyard in under 10 minutes now.If it stays laying out flat in the backyard, with the hose attachment already velcroed into place & secured its even quicker. Like literally under 2 minutes and the entire thing inflates. We dry it out, detach the hose, fold it up and store it in its (included) duffel bag in the garage when it’s going to be raining because we don’t want any mold or mildew issues. But we have left it out and used it every single day for a week straight when there’s been good weather and no issues at all.Honestly the simplest setup and maintence so far of any water toys we’ve ever bought our daughter, which I was impressed and surprised by, given the looks of this thing I expected there to be a lot more to managing it/ setting it up.We drain and dry it every time we are done using it simply by turning the blower motor off so it deflates and drains, then blowing it back up so it can dry in the sun while inflated, ensuring that there isn’t any water hidden in the crevices to potentially get moldy once it’s folded in on itself again.It’s really inexpensive to run the blower motor as well. Using it for multiple hours per day (sometimes up to 5 or 6 hours) for a week straight we really didn’t even notice a spike in our electricity bill. Our water bill is always a little bit more in the summer due to how much more water our lawn and plants need, but honestly I haven’t even noticed anything dramatic with our water bill increasing either.Overall this was a fantastic purchase and we are very very happy with it.

We bought this for my 7 year old son so he would have more to do during this Covid-19 nonsense. He’s about 54lbs and rough and tough. Only had it for a few days now, but seems held together nicely. We had it assembled and working in less than 20 minutes. Only complaint is that the sprayer for the water cannon didn’t work. Banzai forgot to punch the holes out. Once we figured it out, it was good to go!

We bought this for the grandkids and they have been playing on it non-stop. Kids love it. The material is durable and has no problem supporting both a 3-year-old and an 8-year-old at the top.

We’ve had this slide for two years and the first two summers it worked great. However when we got it out this year, the liner on the inside is cracked and ripped in several places which lets air out through the fabric and it no longer inflates fully. Both of my kids (age 5 and 3) have tried climbing on top of the slide and it just folds in half.

So overall kids (5 and 2) loved it and I'm currently happy with the purchase. Set up was pretty quick and easy and it all ran like a champ, taking it down however.... much more challenging but I think I figured a good method. First off, there was water that had seeped into the air area inside the pool so to get it out I turned off the blower and folded it inward like a burrito till the water came out, hooked it back up and let it run Ok blower for an hour or two to really dry out. Then turn blower back off and fold fat ways atleast twice and start to roll it up long ways like a burrito. Wipe off any water with a towel as you do this and also push all the air out. At the end you may need to half the rolled up sides so it will fit in the bag but it will fit. Plan is to set up on Sat morning and take down Sunday day evenings. Just keep in mind the take down process take a few hours really as you need to roll it up to get water out, turn air back on to dry for a couple hours maybe then turn off again, dry and fold up. So set up take about 20 min or less and take down maybe 30 min of activity but a couple hours of down drying time
