It was a beautiful day, and when we arrived to retrieve the kids, Kevin was indoors watching tv. Trying to think of something to get him outside, an intriguing commercial came on for the Banzai Titan Blast Rocket. Boasting an amazing 7 foot rocket that shoots up to 100 feet in the air, it was just too much for the boys(all three) to pass up. A quick internet search showed that Toys R Us had it in stock and away they went.
Well it is large, the main part of the rocket is inflatable the the remainder is foam so it is not too heavy. Takes about 20 or so ounces of water to fill up the tank and 140 pumps to pressurize. Since our yard doesn't accommodate very well a rocket shooting 100 feet in the air with possible drift we took it to the neighborhood park. Kevin set off the first blast, too quick for the camera. But here is Zack's blast off.
It all went too fast to tell if it was 100 feet up but there was some good hang time and drifting before crashing down to earth. Everything seemed to work well, we only had taken two bottles of water so two blast-offs was it. The rocket survived, there was a small leak in the tip that was patched the next day, but we'll see how many crash landings it can take.
