Hours of entertanment for $2.00

Well, instead of hours, it lasted 5 minutes. I remember them not lasting forever, but this plastic is brittle, doesn't last at all. Some would cry when their new toy breaks, but others only see any opportunity to add more power.

Looks like the thing I pump the water out of my kayak with - which is much cheaper and works better than the bilge pumps they sell as kayak accessories btw...

Let me guess. "Home Improvement" wasn't a fictional sitcom at all, it was your secret biography.

Why not attach 20 rockets to a backpack harness, load them to 100 PSI, and use it to rocket down the slide?

They already rocket down the slide. I don't know why, it's the same angle as the green slides, just much taller. On a really hot day we hook the hose to it, and put a tarp at the bottom. It's fun to watch the kids go half way across the neighbor's yard.
