The Banzai Roaring Rapids Water Park, as the name suggests is one of the bigger
banzai water slides you will find. It's called a water park to denote the wide variety
of activities you can do in it from sliding to basket ball. It makes a great inflatable toy for kids when the
weather in good and they want to spend all their time outdoors. Also ideal for large gatherings like Birthday
parties or family BBQ s. There's no doubt you will be the hit of the neighborhood when this unit goes up.
This is one of the few inflatable water slides made by Banzai that includes three water slides. The most
original feature is the dual straight drop slides. Kids can race their friends down to the bottom and see who gets
the top speed.
If they prefer to slide solo the curved slide gives them a wild ride down into the splash pool. The splash pool
is a decent sized pool that is not too deep. It is referred to in Banzai speak as a lagoon, presumably to suggest
that you can relax in the water when you are not flying down one of the water slides. If you are feeling more
energetic than that, there is a basket ball hoop in the corner of the inflatable where you can throw some
hoops.
All the slides are accessed by a climbing wall on the side of the water park. This is your standard Banzai
climbing wall. It is made of reinforced material and has foot holes and handles to assist the children to climb up.
This is great fun too and the kids will get a kick out of the skills required to scale the climbing wall. Once they
have reached the top of the wall they have a decision to make – the straight drop or the curve slide. There is a
covered platform at the top where the kids can ponder this important decision. It safely holds three kids at the
top.
Feedback on the water park is generally good. The manufacturer suggests that the maximum weight capacity allowed
on this inflatable is 400 pounds (so 4 kids of 100 pounds) but some people have claimed to have had up to 8-10 kids
on it. Not sure if they were all on it at the same time but around it I guess. Most people seem pretty happy with
the durability of the inflatable and the entertainment value it gave to their kids (and no doubt the fun they had
watching them). One comment that was made was that it is not as big in real life as it looks in the picture,
certainly the pool doesn't seem as big in the video as it appears in the picture.
Here are the dimensions any how 17' 11" L x 15' 11" W x 10' H so that you can get an idea of the overall size.
This item also comes with a air blower, repair kit and storage bag. The inflatable can be up in under 3 minutes
once the blower is attached. The blower goes continuously when the water slide is in use. This helps to keep the
bounce in the inflatable and make the slide better too.
