From the Manufacturer
Climb the center wall to the top of this enormous water slide and race down the 2 slides into the splash pool. Designed so parents can see all the action. Two slides with spray hoods keep the sliding surface slippery and a surprise dump bucket pours water on kids climbing up the center inflatable rock wall. Slides lead to wide splash pool with plenty of room for everyone. Stakes anchor the bouncer firmly in place, while a heavy-duty blower provides continuou…

I researched all kinds of these before finally deciding on this one. This one had the best ratings!! I had decided to order it and then lucked out and found it at wal mart on sale for $300. So I bought it. It really wasn’t hard to set up at all. The only thing is it is very heavy. Yes, the blower constantly blows to keep the waterslide inflated and this means you need to have it plugged it in. But the neat thing is, its pretty self-contained. There’s not a lot of running around outside the slide because they come down the slides into the wading pool and go right back up the center. They don’t have to get out very much which also saves from them dragging grass clippings into the water. We’ve only had this since July 4th, 2009, but it seems very durable and what fun!! My 3 year old grandson played so much on it all weekend. The box says its rated for 350 lbs. But I’d think that might be a bit hard on it but it also means its great for holding several kids at a time. The other thing is you have to continually run the water to it to keep it wet. It would be neat if you could recirculate the water but you can’t. We are able to hook the hose up to warm and cold water so the kids really like! Yes we did run out of hot water but we adults had lots of fun just watching the kids play too! Its well worth it! Once you unplug the blower, it goes flat in several minutes. They recommend getting all the water out then turn the blower on to inflate it and let it dry out good before you put it away. It comes with a storage bag but i have no idea how you’d ever get it into that. It is quite heavy! We used a big box when we took it down to put it away during the week when we aren’t around as much! I think at first my husband thought I was crazy and after seeing the kids on it for 15 minutes they all told me I’d done good.. its awesome!! At this time I have no regrets about buying this!
This was my best purchase this year. I have a daycare, the kids just love the moutain. Even the 2yr olds can climb up and slide down. It is well made and durable.The mountain is also easy to setup and take down.
We purchased this in the spring in anticipation of summer time. We set it up in May for the first time and have played on it about 15 times since. Completely worth the money. It sets up quickly, the tubing and hose attach easily and it is very durable. My kids have played on it for hours at a time and still love it.
Definately follow the weight max however. One 11 year old neighbor who weighed about 125 – 130 got on it and I could definately see that it was struggling with her weight. I would suggest a weight limit of 110 lbs.
Durable, strong, fun and so far no leaks!
