Here comes the Titan Blast Rocket. This safe, gigantic 7-foot inflatable rocket soars up to 100 feet in the air. Just add water to the launching base, use the simple pump mechanism to pressurize, launch and watch the rocket blast off into the sky.
Length:: 0:26 Mins
Great toy, once you learn its picky points. Most of what previous reviewers state about following the directions is correct. After close attention to details, we still couldn't get this rocket to fire the first few tries, and then finally success!!! The rocket is trigger happy. We had to launch it within a second or two of pumping it up. And the trigger had to be squeezed hard and fast by an adult. If we waited too long it wouldn't go, BUT ... all we had to do was pump on it some more and then launch it within a second or two to get it to launch. You don't have to empty everything and start over, just pump it a few more times and launch it quick. Worked every time after following this rule. The kids love it!

Life of the picnic
It was the hit of the picnic. Great fun. Just make sure it is on level ground.
I was impressed when putting it together because the material is decent quality (my only gripe is that the plastic ground stakes should be metal because plastic doesn’t easily go into soil around here). But when we got it out in an open field to launch it, the rocket only launched 4 out of our 10 tries. It takes 140 pumps each launch and so if it doesn’t go up you have to empty the pressure and pump it up again which is a 5-10 min process. Imagine doing this numerous times after failed launches with 7-8 yr old kids all standing around anticipating a launch. A number of things have to be perfect for it to launch including it standing perfectly level (there’s a level included), just the right pressure (not too much or too little), fully inflated and the seams of the rocket can’t line up in a certain place. Even after checking all of these multiple times we couldn’t get it to launch most of the time. When it did go up it went very high and the kids were impressed. I might understand these problems if it were $19.95 but for $50 I would expect it to be more reliable. It’s either over-engineered (too many safety features prevent it from launching) or the material needs to be upgraded.

This is a BLAST!
This is just awesome! We bought it on sale for $[...] and were skeptical at first, but it has proven to be worth $[...] easy!

Fun but difficult to operate
This rocket was fun once we got it going. It took several men several hours to finally get the thing to launch.

SO FUN!! Great to scare neighbors
We just got this today and we did 4 successful launches out of 4 tries. You need to follow the instructions verbatim, no deviation and it’s perfectly fine!

AWESOME! loads of fun for all ages!
this rocket is AWESOME! It is true that it does go 100 feet in the air, maybe even higher. We have had a blast with it.

A Blast!
Maybe we were just lucky, I don’t know. Assembling the rocket was straightforward, took about 10 minutes.

FRAGILE …BROKE ON THE 3 FLIGHT BIRTHDAY GONE BAD
After some fiddling around with the assembly we were up and running…the kids were having a “titan blast” the first two launches in our 3/4 acre open lot until it landed after…

Junk
Just JUNK! Bad instructions, poor quality. The “white dot” locking indicator would not release. Rocket will not fire. This item is being returned. Good work out though.

Great fun!
This was a lot of fun to set up and use. It takes a lot of teamwork to fill it to pressure (over 100 pumps) so everyone is sure to have something to do.

This thing rocks
I don’t know what everyone’s problem has been with this toy, but my kids have loved it. We got it for the 4th of July from Walmart for 30 bucks because it seemed like a better…
