Blast Zone Pirate Blaster Inflatable Water Park

This was a great purchase. I researched different splash pools for a year before deciding to purchase this one. My children ages 15, 9, 5, 3, and 1 (mostly the middle three) play in this for hours at a time. I love that this Pirate Blaster has the walkway to access the ladder/slide inside the pool which eliminates the need for the children having to get out of the pool in order to slide. It keeps grass and dirt out if the pool. I do recommend buying a tarp to put underneath the splash pool. It give the little ones a place to put their shoes further helping to keep debree out of the pool. It also helps with repositioning the pool once it is inflated. Do NOT however attempt to slide this pool around once you have water in it, because it may tear at the seams. Even a small amount of water makes this thing difficult to move, so make sure you have it where you want it before adding water.DRYING TIP: What has worked awesome for us is to turn the blower off and let the water run out. Then we get a long handled floor squeegee and push the remainder of the water towards the draining edge. We then turn the blower back on for a few hours. This ensures that the inside of the inflatable, where the air is blowing is completely dry. We let the sun dry out the pool/slide/bounce areas and if it is still damp after that, we get a few towels and wipe it out. This is when the kids use the pirate blaster dry, and they love it just as much. When all is said and done, we roll it up and store it in the shed. We haven't had a problem with mold or mildew and we've done this several times now. Overall all this was a great purchase, as it can be used in the spring, summer, and fall, wet or dry. Money well spent!

This is going to be a great summer for my kids if this thing lasts. We have a dry inflatable bounce house and a trampoline in our back yard, but the heat hit mid 90's here in Florida. This thing has a huge footprint somewhere around 18' x 22'. I set it up on a 20x20 tarp and it seems to be just about right. Just roll this thing out and use the white hook and loop to tie the hose all the way around from the water cannons to the slide. The fitting connecting the three hoses for ours leaked, but a few zip ties handled that issue.It's great though, the slide, the bounce house, and the small tunnel that my 1.5 year old is loving. We've invited some kids over already and they've loved it too. Perfect for about 3-4 kids total. The best detail is the watered walkway up to the slide so the kids don't have to leave the play area and get there feet dirty to then get on the slide, it's all self contained.I hope it lasts. Our kids have been going straight to sleep at night from all the running around they've been doing in this water playground thing :D** 3 Month Update **Everything looks pretty when it's new, so I'll show you what ours looks like 3 months later with complete abandonment. Since day one this water park has been outside baking in the Florida sun and being used in between, we've also had alot of rain and tons more sweltering heat. I'll say that for the price this has still been a great purchase for the amount of use we've gotten out of it. Not once has this been stored inside, it's stayed in place, so as you can see it will fade and it will discolor in some parts. The tarp under it has actually deteriorated faster than the water park itself. The fan still works great, no tears or rips so far after heavy use ( by a 3 and 1 1/2 year old ), and if it lasts the rest of the season I'd be willing to buy another next summer.

I searched for a whole year comparing inflatable bounce houses/water parks before deciding on this one. If you're okay with the bright orange & blue (I was reluctant about it, but it turned out to actually be really relaxing in person) you'll be really happy with this. Most of these types of inflatable water parks have weird designs where the area for water is super small or the slide runs off into the grass making it track a lot of dirt and grass. This inflatable water park is the only water park on the market I have seen that has a large area for water that's actually pretty deep, Have the slide in the inside of the barrier walls keeping the water in so no dirt or grass gets constantly tracked in the play area while sliding, has a bounce house attached & the blower motor outlet is towards the back so no child has to walk over or near it. The cons are things I read on this review thread such as the slide isn't slick enough for sliding down dry, It feels as though they put slip proof material on the floor of the water area, flooring in the bounce house, and the slide, and the cannons have to be sprayed outside the water area potentially tracking in dirt and grass. Over all I believe it was a great investment for my 2 boys & future children.

I've owned this water park for a few weeks and it seems to live up to the hype - it keeps my young boys occupied for a few hours each day. It was my intention to leave the structure on the ground in the backyard and just power up the fan when in use and clean it out once a week. A few things to be aware of:After a few hours of use my kids were developing rashes - mostly on their stomachs from sliding on their bellies. They usually wear rash guards now when using the water park.Also, when you turn the blower power off, the bounce house deflates (as expected), and all the water drains out of the pool area. The pool's not deep, maybe six or eight inches, but it's still a significant volume and loss if you're using it every day. We opted not to fill it (much) - just turn on the sprayers and the water accumulates until the kids are done for the day. That means a harder landing at the bottom of the slide.
