Toys and Games Reviews of Banzai Titan Blast Rocket
Customer Review: AWESOME! loads of fun for all ages!
Summary: 5 Stars
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. You have to follow the directions EXACTLY to get it to blast off, but they are easy to understand. LOADS OF FUN!
HOW IT WORKS: You blow up the 7-foot inflatable rocket part, really easily (you don't need a pump, and it's easy enough that I could do it myself). You fill a little water bottle and seal it. You pump what looks like a bicycle tire pump until the pressure gauge shows in the green. Then you squeeze a grenade-type ball that launches it. It goes 100+ feet in the air! You can continue launching it over and over by following the same procedures.
On a windy day we were blasting it off, it took off, the wind changed and sent it back right towards us! It was hysterical (it wouldn't have hurt, it's only filled with air after all). It gave my husband a chance to play hero and actually catch a rocket out of the air.
Highly recommend this super-fun rocket. Even at $20, it's worth every penny. It did get one hole in it when it hit the pavement (it's better to do it in a grassy area of course), but we fixed it quickly and easily with the patch repair (stick it on and wait 20 minutes, you're done!).
A few extra tips:
You have to follow the directions EXACTLY. In fact, before you start to FOLLOW the directions, READ them all the way through first. I can't stress enough that you have to do every single step in the right order for it to work.
-you inflate the rocket by mouth, not with a pump. Don't use a pump, it might blow out the seams. This doesn't take long and isn't hard to do. Just make sure that you fill it as much as possible.
-there is a big plastic ring that you put over the end of the rocket AFTER you blow it up, but BEFORE you put the rocket into the launcher.
-line up all the arrows exactly. (arrows on the rocket and launcher must line up).
-make sure that the rocket base is into the ground really well, and that it is level...there is a little bubble gauge to show you if it's level.
-make sure the lid on the water bottle is on really tight.
-pump the bicycle-type pump up till the gauge shows in the green.
-if the rocket won't hold air, find the leak and patch it with the patch kit provided (it's like a 3x3 inch patch adhesive thingy. you cut a small square, put it on the hole and wait 20 minutes). If you can't find the leak, use soapy water to spot the bubble it'll make where the air is coming out. Just make sure you dry the spot off really well, then put the patch on and wait your 20 minutes or more.
-if you're wondering what the long red plastic thing is, you put it in the rocket hold and it will deflate the rocket. Hang onto that and the little red inflating adapter, too. you'll need both of them.
-this is a big one. There is a small hose that comes out of the bottom of the launcher, that has a blue grenade-type squeeze-ball that you squeeze to launch the rocket. This pooped out on us after 3 launches. But we can still launch the rocket with a screwdriver, pushing down on the lock window in the base of the launcher.
-if the rocket seems to want to lean over before you launch it, and doesn't seem like it has enough air in it: it's too late to take it out of the launcher (it locks in) to add air. Believe it or not, you'll have to find something high to stand on, we used a ladder, and insert the little plastic adapter into the top of the rocket, and blow it up the rest of the way.
-we have launched our rocket almost 20 times now. Only had one leak, which we patched up and it works fine.
I assure you that it is worth the fussiness of the product to get a good launch, it is soooo much fun for little ones and us big ones. The whole neighborhood enjoyed it, actually. Good luck and have fun!
