Poor Quality
Slide was bought June 2005. Was great for the kids for last season. Set slide up yesterday and it would not hold air. Similar complaint noted at various web sites. This is a very expensive product to be used approx. 10 times before it is unuseable. Unable to reach manufacturer at number listed on the box. Line is busy. I would NEVER buy a product from this company again. Six Flag Corporation should be embarrassed to have their name associated with such poor quality and customer service.

Fun for a day...
Due to the number of reviews on this product, I'll spare you the long version and give you the readers digest version.

This water slide is loads of fun, easy to set up, and is an instant hit with the kids. The problem is...the seams rip within a short period of time and then it won't hold enough air for anyone to climb up on the thing. The joy of the thing leaves just as quickly as it came. Count yourself lucky if you can get it to last one summer. We were only able to get a week out of our before the seams ripped.

Its fun, if your smart enough to have some rules!!!!
We have had this slide for a few weeks, and let me tell you it is a hit. There has been no rips or damage to it, even though people closer the weight limit (around 150 lbs) have been on it.

I think the main issue with this slide is this :




SUPERVISION!!!


Don't let your 10 year old invite the block over and let them run rampant on the thing!
Have some rules, like one person at a time, no jumping on it (its a slide not a trampoline!!) etc.

Its also important for an adult to be there, or atleast nearby while the slide is in use.

Hope this helped win over some people, because this slide is awesome!

go for it !
it made me nervous to spend this much money based on all the negative reviews. but it really seemed to be a great summer toy. i am always looking for something to spice up the summer without going 'the pool' route. anyway i did purchase it. have had it about a month used it about 5 days of that month and it has been great. set up easy, especially after you get through the first time. i have had up to 6 active kids between 50 and 100 lbs for a few hours straight. no problems. kids love it and do not get bored.
one comment of course you see air escaping from the seams. otherwise it would explode! air in, no air out, figure it out!
close up easy, fold up easy, getting it into a small package again impossible.
if you want to do this don't worry about the negative responses, i guess it really has been improved,go for it.

Combine complaints into a Class Action Lawsuit against mfr.
I too have been dupped! We purchased & used our slide for one summer & took very good care of it. This summer it won't hold enough air to slide down. This is such a scam. Tried to contact mfg about problem also - no answer.

I have read all of the reviews - I wish I could have read them before I purchased the item.

HAS ANYONE HAD ANY LUCK GETTING A HOLD OF THE MANUFACTURER? HAS ANYONE HAD ANY LUCK REPAIRING THEIR SLIDE OR HAVING IT REPAIRED BY A STORE?

I can't believe that the company has not recalled these units - just because there are hundred of complaints & all for the same problem!

I bet if your local newspaper or television news reporters would cover a story of this magnitude. I'm going to call mine & I will print out these reviews to show that there are others that have also been DUPPED!
