Lil Kahuna Water Slide 2

Lil Kahuna Water Slide 2 is the other small toddler unit, weekday-style start $289. Use it when the party is still in the little-kid range and you want a second option besides the $189 Lil Kahuna with the pool. It is not a hyper and it is not a dual-lane race. It is a backyard piece for gates built for people, not for a 27-foot slide on a trailer. We see it on morning birthdays where the cousins are close in age and the yard is grass behind a newer fence in Hutto, Manor, or Kyle. The rules do not get softer because the vinyl is smaller.

One adult at the entrance the whole time. Shoes, glasses, and jewelry stay off. If ages spread out, split turns. Setup is the short version of our morning: flat ground, hose, outlet within about 100 feet, then a walkthrough. Full size and capacity are on the reservation page. Weekends from May through August go first.
