Banzai Titan Blast Rocket
 
I first saw this at WalMart, with a retil of $50.00, if you look at it on the Banzai site, it's going for $59.99.

It looks somewhat like the Dude.

Neat, Ken.
I remember shooting those little plastic water rockets in the yard in the Summer. It was a lot of fun, and it was a great way to cool off an afternoon's heat. That hose in the yard got quite a workout!
However, this Banzai rocket would not last long with all the Pyrocanthas (sp?) we had in the front of the yard; lots of long needle-like thorns that seemed to eat every ball we ever had!

Hello Allen

I remember the small hand held Parks Plastic water rockets, they even had a two stage model. I think you can still find them if you look. I don't remember anything as large as the Banzai rocket though.

I played with a bunch of those as a kid. Also had the 2-stage version.

As a "joke" present, my sister got me one of those water rockets this past Christmas. She also got me a Gumby. :D
