We hold a yearly family party in which we host over 50 kids, mostly in the preschool age group.I can not imagine the kids having more fun than they did on this slide.It has 2 very different slides, a pool, high power waterguns, and a tunnel.All of the components are well designed and durable.The slide held an average of 10 kids at a time for over 8 hours.
We set this up alongside another banzai slide that we bought 4 years ago, which is still looking and working well.
We store our slides in inexpensive plastic trash cans.If you leave them outside, use a tarp to protect from UV.
You need a very large flat and level area to set this up.If it is not almost perfectly level, the pool will not fill properly, which makes the smaller slide dangerous.
Setup is relatively quick for something of this size and scope.You also need at least an hour to get a decent amount of water in the pool before letting kids play.However, drying this thing out for storage takes forever.But I don't see how the company can avoid that.
We wish that the curved slide had a slightly taller back bumper to discourage kids from climbing up on it.We had to chase kids off of it all day in fear they would fall 7 feet onto the hard ground.

We have previously owned one of these water slides and it was great. HOWEVER we have owned this particular slide for one week and have 3 major holes and the seams are BUSTING.He are so disappointed with how cheaply this slide was made compared to others........do not buy........total waste of money!!!We are getting our money back.
We waited to write a review because I too had a previous experience with banzai water slides that was less than pleasurable. We also figured after a few years they would have worked out the kinks in their durability. This water slide is so much fun but we have used it a total of four times and have a seam where the green "tunnel" part is completely split open, I could play basketball through the hole it is so big. I haven't called them yet and replacement will likely take the rest of the summer, as I live in Michigan and summer is short. I figured it would only last one season and we didn't even get close to that. I am really ready to go commercial after this one.
We have had this slide for about a week now and it is so much fun.My husband and two children ages 11 and 5 have been playing on it every day.It is definitely big enough for adults too.There are two regular slides and one tunnel type slide that leads to the pool.Each slide has a sprayer above it so not only do you get wet on your way down, but it creates a nice puddle of water at the end for a big splash.We love this toy.Having siad that however, there are a couple of downsides.First it is heavy so you will need more than one person to set it up and roll it up when you are ready to put it away.Second, the pool deflates also when you turn the blower off, so you always have to refill it before playing, although I have found it takes only about 20 minutes with the water hose.Other than those two things, this slide is fantastic.I purchsed it when Amazon was selling it for $499.Immediately after my purchase Amazon listed it from Target for $699 and now it is selling for $999.I don't think, even though this is a great slide, that I would pay that much money for it.Look for a better bargain, and if you can find it then I would say definitely go for it.
