Okay so we've used the Crocodile Isle park twice so far and both times have been a success. My daughter and her friends love it and it blows up very quickly. The stitching seems solid but it is a beast to haul around and move. It needs relatively flat land to work well on, or else the water will tend to pool on one side or the other. All in all i am happy with the purchase so far. Time will tell on how well it stands up year after year but it does seem like proper drying and ventilation is key. After we break it down and drain the water, we fill it back up with air and let it air dry for an hour or so in the sun...this gets MOST of the water out. We still need to go through it with a towel to get any last drops. So far i feel it is well worth the money and if i can get a couple of good seasons out of it then I will call it a success.
