Backyard water fun with H2OGO! tether ball splash!



Bestway Lights Up Summertime Fun With A Colorful Line-Up Of Soaking Good H2OGO! Backyard Water Toys

Building On The Success of Backyard Water Slides, Bestway Extends Summertime Play With Unveiling Of Its Innovative Color Wave Pool, Doodle Glow Pool And Tether Ball Splash


After revolutionizing backyard water fun last summer with the launch of the first and only water slide with a built-in inflatable speed ramp, Bestway, Inc. is back in 2016 with an even more exciting line-up of H2OGO! outdoor water toys. Adding a new level of colorfully exciting water fun to the backyard, the H2OGO! Tether Ball Splash , Doodle Glow Pool and the Color Wave Pool are sure to keep summer fun going all day and night.

A watery twist to a timeless favorite, H2OGO! Tether Ball Splash takes the classic fun of tetherball and infuses it with a new level of wet and wild excitement. Kids are able to battle each other in a heated game of schoolyard tetherball while staying cool as they swing and splash the spinning spray ball all the way to victory. Easy to assemble in minutes, the inflatable 6.5 foot Tether Ball Splash attaches to a garden hose and has a built-in water chamber at the base to keep the fun upright all summer long.

The backyard water fun transitions from day to night with H2OGO!¹s Doodle Glow Pool and Color Wave Pool. Both inflatable pools are designed to extend summertime fun into the evening hours. 

Kids can splash around all night long in a rainbow of colors as the H2OGO! Color Wave Pool¹s built-in LED lights illuminate the walls of the pool in an array of five different neon colors. 

Pushing the bounds of creativity, The H2OGO! Doodle Glow Pool takes the artwork off of the refrigerator and puts it on the bottom of the pool. Utilizing innovative technology, the Doodle Glow¹s fluorescent floor doubles as a blank canvas for kids to create an underwater, glow-in-the dark art show. Using two patent-pending LED underwater flashlights and a stencil set, kids can let their imagination splash wildly as they create an underwater world of glow art.  

Both the Doodle Glow and Color Wave Pools are constructed with sturdy I-beam construction, extra-wide sidewalls, hold 147 gallons of water and are designed for easy assembly and take-down.

H2OGO! single, double and triple backyard waterslides are back after sweeping across the nation in a tidal wave of fun last summer. The H2OGO! water slide¹s inflatable launch pad at the start of every slide reduces the impact of the landing. Without the ³ouch² of a belly-flop, riders are smoothly propelled down the 18-foot slide into the drench pool. Kids can either take turns sliding down the single slide or race each other on the double and triple slides.

³Every summer parents look for new ways to get kids active and keep them off of the couch,² says Andrea McCoy, marketing manager, Bestway USA Inc. ³Each of the new products in the H2OGO! line-up are specifically designed to promote physical activity and social interaction among kids and their families. We¹ve raised the bar for what kids and parents should expect when it comes to 21st century outdoor water play with this year¹s line-up of H2OGO! backyard water toys.²

My Thoughts

Setup was easy. You did need an air pump to blow up the center blue part that is roughly six feet tall. The yellow base can be filled with air or water. We chose water to give it a more solid grounding and less likely to tip over. After that, you bring the hose to it, twist it on, and you're ready to go.

We had to play around with the water pressure. Water squirts out the top of the blue pole, as well as out the ball. Lots of opportunity to get wet. With the base as wide as it was and the clear rope wasn't quite long enough. It was hard to get a good game of tether ball going. Especially with water coming out of the ball and usually going right for the face.

I liked the idea behind this toy, but it didn't work out well for playing tether ball. However, the kids still had a lot of fun, using it other ways and getting drenched. So it was still be a hit with the kids and they do request to play with it. My daughter enjoys to play with it along and does her own thing with toys and the ball.

As far as working as a tether ball, the idea is there. For the most part, the rope glides around from the top effortlessly. If the blue middle wasn't as thick as it was, I think you'd be able to play a little better. As it is now, it's hard to hit the ball back and forth.

My kids have used this without water. We have it set-up on our patio right now and they like to go out and smack it back and forth with each other. They enjoy the tether ball aspect of this without the water better.

Over all, I do like this. It has gotten my kids playing outside.

H2OGO! Triple water slide!



New H2OGO! Backyard Water Slides Usher In A New
Era In Summertime Speed-Infused Fun
Designed To Get Kids Off The Couch And Eliminate The Belly Flop
“Ouch”, Bestway’s Innovative H2OGO! Backyard Water Slides Put The
Focus Back On Fun

Launching a new era in soakin’ good backyard fun, Bestway, Inc. is making a huge splash this summer with the unveiling of its new line of wet and wild H2OGO! backyard water slides.
Designed to take the “ouch” out of backyard water slides, the innovative H2OGO! slides are the
world’s first line of water slides to feature the patent-pending Speed Ramp™, a tough, inflatable
launch pad that creates a smooth, big splash belly-flop landing while propelling riders head first into a superfast ride down the 18-foot slide. The addition of a Splash Lagoon beneath the Speed Ramp
creates a drenching good takeoff, and funnels water throughout the entire slide, reducing friction and
increasing speeds as riders skim their way through a gushing cascade towards the final deluge in the
drench pool.

Easy to set up in just minutes, the H2OGO! water slides come in a single, double and triple model,
adding a new level of interactive outdoor fun by allowing kids to compete against their friends for the
title of neighborhood champion, while keeping cool all summer long.

H2OGO! WATER SLIDES 

“The H2OGO! line of slides are designed to get back to the basics of what an outdoor water slide is
supposed to be about: the fastest, wettest and most fun way to keep cool all summer long,” says
Andrea McCoy, Marketing Manager, Bestway USA, Inc. “For years, backyard water slides have been
a staple of outdoor fun, but innovation has led to increasingly complex designs and gimmicks that only serve to raise prices and do nothing to increase the slides performance. The H2OGO! line of water slides is focused on putting the fun back into water slides with a dose of much needed innovation that results in a faster, safer and more exciting sliding experience.”

With over 20 years of success in the global inflatable leisure and water sports product markets,
Bestway’s branded products are known in the industry for their unique, innovative and practical styles, and designs, as well as excellent product features and quality. The H2OGO! water slides have a suggested retail price of $9.99 for the single slide, $14.99 for the double and $24.99 for the triple, and are available at Toys R' US, Amazon.com, Target.com and Walmart.com.

My Thoughts

With the weather getting warmer, my kids are finally able to get outside and play some. They are itching for the neighborhood pool to open, but having this backyard waterslide has eased their need for some water fun.

For the most part this triple slide was easy to set-up. My biggest complaint was the instructions, which were not clear on the ramp part. On the paper instructions, it said to inflate the ramp, but didn't specify with air or water. So the kids and I sat in the hot weather and blew the ramp up with our mouths. It took awhile, so I didn't see how this was "easy and quick set-up." With that being said, the next day on the box that the slide came in, it said to inflate with water on the ramp. I really wish that had been on the paper instructions that came in the box. Because filling it with water would have made it a quick set up. So if you're seeing this review-- fill the ramp with water!



Other then not being sure how to inflate the speed ramp, set-up was easy. We had it up and going in no time. The water sprayed out in a lot of different area and the part they slide down was nice and wet, giving me kids a lot of speed and fun. The dog loved where the water sprayed out in the wading pool at the end.




Over all, I really liked this slide once I had it up and running. The kids had a blast on it. Probably the most fun I've seen them have with a type of slid and slide. Typically you just run and slide down, but they enjoyed doing tricks with the ramp or laying in the wading pool at the end.

And of course, the dog had to give it a try too. Her favorite part was drinking the water and standing in the wading pool to cool off.

A great, fun product for kids. And a great way to give mom a little break to sit and relax this summer.
