What a great time!
We bought the Splash Bomb Water Slide locally last Spring. The 7 year old and 14 year old had such a great time with it, we kind of splurged and got 3 slip `n slides to replace it when it finally tore after about 10 hours of hard use.
The first one we put up was the Aqua Leisure Spray and Slide Family Pool. The design looked great, and if it could have only...

What a great time!, July 4, 2006
This review is from: Banzai Cannonball Splash Water Slide (Toy)
We bought the Splash Bomb Water Slide locally last Spring. The 7 year old and 14 year old had such a great time with it, we kind of splurged and got 3 slip `n slides to replace it when it finally tore after about 10 hours of hard use.
The first one we put up was the Aqua Leisure Spray and Slide Family Pool. The design looked great, and if it could have only held air, it might have been really fun. But the air plugs wouldn't hold and we were forever adding air to all the bladders, and it tore quickly. Nice design, horrible fabrication.
Shark's Revenge Water Slide was our next slide to assemble. The slide is long, but didn't have the comfort advantage of an inflated slide. Plus, it had this odd shark head part that 1) had an odd sized port for adding water, and 2) wasn't stable enough to stand up so the kids could slide through it. Bottom line was that while it looked fun in the pics, it wasn't worth the money for just a long piece of vinyl.
Our third replacement took us back to the Splash Bomb, and it was the hit of the birthday party last weekend for the now-8-year-old. We had kids from 3 to 30 jumping in and loving it. And it was sturdy enough to go through that without getting torn. Splash Bomb gets my heartiest endorsement.

Splash Bomb, May 31, 2006
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Banzai Cannonball Splash Water Slide (Toy)
Dear Customers,
If you are looking into buying the Splash Bomb Slide, it's a great way to have fun. But I wouldn't reconmend to anyone over the age of 8-9 years old. It's kinda small but it's perfect for yor backyard and a great toy to use over the summer.

Terrible Let Down, June 27, 2006
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Banzai Cannonball Splash Water Slide (Toy)
I am a mother of 3 little girls and thought I found the perfect slide/pool combination for them to have hours of fun. WRONG!! Straight out of the box one of the seams had and inch long opening in it making it impossible to inflate part of the slide. I called the 800 number on the box hoping to exchange it. Ammee had me fax in the packing slip (receipt) and explain the PROBLEM! After doing that she said she would exchange it out. HOWEVER a message came from her the next day that they didn't have any to exchange it out with. She suggested exchange at Toys r us or online. Called Toys r us and they will not in any way accept a return from Amazon.com (my box has Toys r us orange price sticker on it). I simply want an exchange but online that is not an option. So called toyquest again they said return it online and repurchase. What a great solution YAH RIGHT!! Price online 29.99 + Tax 2.74 + shipping (standard rate) 15.72 = 48.45. So if I return it I'll have to pay another 15.72 for shipping a new one that may be as big of a disappointment as the one I have now. Buy the way tried to patch it but since the rip is in the seam it would not hold!! The hold time to speak to a real person at toyquest was a lest 30 minutes each time I called.

Stay away from this toy,, June 27, 2007
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Banzai Cannonball Splash Water Slide (Toy)
I was very unfortunate to be one of the people who bought this item. I bought it In late April for my sons birthday. He waited so long until the weather finally warmed up to be able to use it. It worked great the first time. So I figured awesome! A wonderful buy. Than the second time I set it up the inside seam that keeps the water and air parts from merging broke. Yep I now have a slide that is useless. There is no right side. so they will fall off and there is no way to have water hooked up to it. It was a complete disappointment. And Toys R Us will not return it and the company just does not care.

Somewhat pleased but smaller than expected, June 24, 2006
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Banzai Cannonball Splash Water Slide (Toy)
I have 4 yr old twin boys and they enjoy playing in the slide, but the attention span doesn't last for long. It is smaller than the picture (big surprise). The slide stays attached as long as it is used properly, when my kids started to crawl from the pool to the slide it comes apart but they just reattach. Overall the best thing I bought for my kids was a 6.5'x4.5' rectangle pool they have more fun with that than anything. If I had to do it over I would not purchase the splash bomb - but would instead get the bounce and splash slip n slide - they played on that at a friends house abd the enterainment value is better.

Great Fun for Preschoolers, Plastic is Thin, May 21, 2007
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Banzai Cannonball Splash Water Slide (Toy)
I had a pool party at our house this afternoon with the Banzai Splash Bomb Water Slide, a Slip n' Slide and a plastic baby pool. The Banzai Water Slide was a huge hit! There were 6 children ranging in age from 1 to 4. They had a blast sliding down the slide both on their bellies and on the included boogie board. The only time I was concerned was when they were jumping on the slide section. I was afraid it might pop! It didn't and they had a great afternoon. I wasn't aware that the slide and the pool are two separate pieces. This makes storage while inflated a little easier. I used an air compressor to blow it up which helped move things along quickly (it's a fairly large item). I am a bit concerned about the plastic quality over time. I do not think this pool will last more than one summer, even with careful use. However, we love this pool!

Fantastic idea - horrible manufacturing, June 24, 2007
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Banzai Cannonball Splash Water Slide (Toy)
The slide itself is a huge hit. Unfortunately, the durability can't even pass the test of a 4 year old girl. We've used this slide for 1 month, we now have a hole in the boogie board, a tear at the bottom of the slide, a hole in the slide part of the pool, a slow leak in the pool itself and a rip on the bottom of the pool. All this happened even though we've taken special care of the slide, and it stays in the grass only. I don't even know how so many holes are even possible! I have never seen anything so poorly made. This slide won't even last all summer. It is great fun if you can get it to last, but considering how thin the plastic is, I doubt anyone can get it to stay in good condition for more than a week or two.

Frustrating and not safe enough, December 1, 2007
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Banzai Cannonball Splash Water Slide (Toy)
I purchased this for my 5 year old twins, this past summer. While they had some fun on it, they were more often than not frustrated by the water not hitting the slide properly. Every time they went down the slide they had to spend a minute or so resetting the direction of the water. Also, the slide kept falling over, making me concerned that they would get hurt. Another issue I had was the gap between the upper and lower part of the slide - I was afraid someone would get a hand or a head stuck as the rest of their body went sliding past and possibly causing injury. I would have liked the connection between the slide and the pool to have been MUCH more secure, it is only held in place by a few pieces of Velcro. I purchased this slide to replace a Whamo Slip 'N Slide Bounce 'N Splash. We used the Bounce and Splash the prior year and it got ALOT of use!!! My kids were on it almost every day and we had nieces and nephews, friends and neighbors up to age 12 using it, they all loved it. The Bounce 'N Splash is a 20ft long slip n slide that had an inflatable sliding area so the kids were not hitting the hard ground. The only reason I purchased the Cannonball Splash waterslide was because I could not find the Bounce 'N Splash anywhere locally or even online this past summer and ours had ripped just as we started this season. I did buy an original slip n slide while I waited for the Cannonball Splash to come in and my kids hated that, because it hurt their stomachs to hit the hard ground after a few times down the slide, so when they saw this come in, they were understandably thrilled, unfortunately that only lasted for a few minutes until the slide fell over numerous times The bottom line here is that while my children were able to cool off a bit in the water, they actually spent more time in the pool at the bottom, because they were so frustrated with the slide constantly falling over. As a mom, I was not comfortable with them using the product unless I was within reaching distance in order to stop someone from careening off the slide onto the ground as the slide again fell over. I can't really recommend this product to anyone with young children for safety reasons and I don't think it is really big enough for older children. Over all, if they improve the connection and get rid of the gap it could possibly be a decent toy, but as it stands now it is seriously lacking in common sense safety.

Lots of fun if you can get it to blow up..., June 15, 2006
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: Banzai Cannonball Splash Water Slide (Toy)
The pool/slide was pretty fun once I got it all blow up. But by that time the kids were already bored and moved onto something else. Even with an electric pump it took me over and hour to fill with air. The numerous air holes are so tiny that you have no choice but to sit and wait. Maybe an air compressor would have been more helpful?
