Incoming From Google! Angry Water Slide Owners.
Over the last week, my logs have shown an influx of hundreds of people from google.com researching the Six Flags Banzai Falls Water Slide and coming across my pithy article. It appears the oversized inflatable Slip N' Slide is showing signs of suckage, and random net-dwellers are flocking here to see what I had to say about it.

I have had to replace the Banzai waterslide twice now. The 1st time was for a minor hole. The 2nd was a dangerous blowout that my 9 yr. old had when she went down the slide and hit the bottom of the slide. The whole bottom blew out and deflated the slide while my 4 yr. old was waiting at the top! This slide needs to be 3-4 ft. longer at the bottom and needs to be put together a little better than a string of single line stictches. The force that you come down the slide with can only withstand so much! Now I have very upset children and no slide!
Not quite the "older kids with pointy sticks" I predicted, but it appears that this overpriced fun-nugget is causing quite a stir. Any other googlers have similar problems? Perhaps the slide is due for a recall.
