This review is from: Blast Zone Great White Water Slide by Blast Zone (Toy)
I was a bit worried when I saw the shipping weight was 67 lbs. I hoped that I would be able to lift and set it up myself. I knew my husband would be able to do it, but since he's not at home with us during the day, I needed to be able to do it. The box was pretty heavy when it came, but after unpacking, I realized I could haul it. It consisted of a nice carrying case, the inflatable shark slide, and the blower. There were also stakes, and instruction manual, and patches for repair if needed. Because the slide was in a carrying case, I was able to carry it out of my home and put it in the back yard with no problem. The blower hooks up to an inflatable tube that goes to the slide. Once I had the blower plugged in, I simply had to follow the instructions to get it up and going. It honestly took about 15 minutes from start to finish, which I was grateful for. Blowup time was also just over a minute, which is impressive considering how large this slide is. We have a small yard as we live in a townhome and I was pleasantly surprised to see it fit in our yard quite nicely. Once it was blown up, I had to stake down the blower and the slide. There are 8 stakes in all and it's nice and necessary that they are included. The fun thing about this slide is that you can use it dry or wet. My two boys had fun bouncing down it while it was dry, but it got to be even more fun when we turned on the sprayers. The sprayer is a long tube that connects to your hose, It is then velcroed underneath the shark's teeth and sprays down on the slide. The velcro is very strong and holds on well even though it gets wet. You also don't need a lot of power from the hose to get the sprayers going. This slide is also very durable. We've had 7 kids playing on it at once, might I add that they were all rough and tumble boys. It is extremely durable and held up well to all of them. The weight limit is 200 lbs, which means that adults can get on and play too. I'm about 145 lbs and have gone down the slide multiple times, it's actually quite fun. I've seen bubbles coming up from the seam at the bottom of the slide when the water is going, but everything I've read says it's normal. Since you have the blower on the entire time while your kids are playing, water has to seep out a bit somewhere. It's not a problem, but may seem alarming to those who don't know that it's normal. The pool at the bottom of the slide is also really fun. As the sprayers spray, the pool fills up at the bottom making for a great splash at the bottom. You can also use balls in the bottom if you want to use it dry. The climbing wall in the back has handles and holes for little feet and it's easy to climb up. My 3 year old has no problem climbing up, and there's a good amount of space at the top of the slide to sit. There is mesh around the back of the slide, I imagine to protect kids from falling which I appreciate as a parent. When you are all done playing, you simply have to turn the blower off and deflate. If you've used the water features, you need it completely dry before you put it back in the bag. This is a bit of a pain as it takes some time to dry out. We put it back into the bag when it wasn't quite dry, and there was water seeping out everywhere. Also - pay attention to how it is folded when you take it out for the first time. It explains a bit in the manual how to fold it back up, but the first few times we folded it back up, it felt like it was going to be impossible to get it back into the bag. After a few times of putting it back, it fits nicely in the carrying case. Although the carrying case is a small addition, it is so so nice to have. It helps you to carry the slide, and store it when not in use. Overall, this has provided hours and hours of fun so far and I'm excited to continue using it throughout the summer. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun themed inflatable slide!

This review is from: Blast Zone Great White Water Slide by Blast Zone (Toy)
I originally bought a different Blast Zone water slide. We had problems of bubbles forming under the fabric of that slide and needed to return it to Blast Zone for a replacement twice. I was totally fed up and my kids were devastated. I wanted a refund. Blast Zone offered to replace the second defective slide with this Shark slide for free! It was a significant upgrade from the one I first bought. Blast Zone's customer service is remarkable. I would recieve emails back within minutes of sending them. The people on the phone were polite and helpful.
Now as for this slide...we used it for one season so far. It is totally cool that two kids can slide at once. My kids would race eachother down the slide. The size of it is impressive. It is simple to set up. It blows up easy and super fast! It hoses off easily when dirt or grass gets on it. It also packs up nicely into the carrying bag that it comes with. Just air dry with the blower on and the water off. Empty the pool and towel dry. We can't wait to get out there again this year! (And I know that there is a weight limit but I had to try it a few times. I'm 160 pounds....Shhh! LOL) And during the spring or fall when it is too cold to slide with the water on, Blast Zone told me that the pool at the bottom can be filled with ball pit balls and the kids can use the slide in pillow cases and slide into the balls!

Two weeks before my granddaughters third birthday party her slide blew a large hole in the side of the pool.I tried to buy one locally but no luck this late in the season.I then contacted the company that made the old slide and found out that that model was discontinued andbased on my description of the damage was probably not repairable. So began my hunt for a new slide to my amazement there is an infinite variety of slides and prices. The Blast Zone Great White White Water had two slides was not as high as the old one and had a larger pool at the end of the slide.The old slide failed at the pool end where the sliding kids made contact with the pool.The old slide lasted only two seasons but with a lot of use. Only time will tell if this one can go farther.
