Two Riders Race Every Single Turn

Both lanes run simultaneously. Two riders climb up together, push off together, and hit the splash pool at the end of a genuine side-by-side race. There is no alternating turns, no waiting while one person goes. Every trip down the Lava Rush produces a winner and an immediate rematch request. That racing loop keeps the line moving and the energy up for 8 straight hours.

The Lava Theme Makes It a Visual Centerpiece

Red and orange lava graphics against a dark base run the full height of the slide. At a Floor is Lava party this slide is the anchor attraction the whole theme is built around. At any summer event, it is the piece guests notice from across the yard before they have seen anything else. The visual does the work of drawing a crowd to the slide before anyone has even taken a turn.

28-Foot Footprint Fits Standard DFW Backyards

The Lava Rush needs 30 feet of length and 17 feet of width - a footprint that fits most DFW residential backyards with a fence gate that clears 48 inches. Yards that cannot fit a 60-foot giant slide can accommodate the Lava Rush while still getting 16 feet of drop and dual-lane racing. One outlet handles the blower. No generator, no second breaker.

Ages 5 to Adult on One Slide

The Lava Rush handles elementary school age through adults. Kids 5 and up manage the climb and the drop comfortably. Older siblings and adults fit the lanes without awkwardness. A birthday party with guests spanning a 20-year age range gets one slide that covers everyone from the youngest eligible guest to the parents who want a turn.

Grass or Hard Surface Setup

The Lava Rush sets up on grass with stake anchoring and on concrete or asphalt with sandbag anchoring. Church parking lots, school blacktop, and park hard pads all work. The dual-lane format is just as effective on hard surface as on grass - the lane experience does not change based on what is under the unit.

State-Inspected, Lead-Free, Cleaned Every Rental

The Texas Department of Insurance inspects every inflatable in the Inflatable Party Magic fleet annually. The Lava Rush Water Slide is built from lead-free fire-retardant vinyl, sanitized between every rental, and arrives with tarps for the entry and exit areas. The same inspection and cleaning standard applies regardless of rental price.

Both Riders Climb Together

Two riders remove shoes and climb the interior staircase on the back of the slide to the 16-foot platform. Both arrive at the top at the same time. The adult supervisor confirms both riders are positioned correctly before the run begins.

Take a Lane and Race

Each rider takes one of the two side-by-side lanes. Both push off simultaneously. The lanes run parallel straight down the 16-foot lava face. Water running continuously over both surfaces carries riders at matching speed - the race is settled by whatever fraction of a second separates the two landings.

Hit the Splash Pool

Both riders land in the built-in splash pool at the base. The safety wall at the end stops momentum cleanly. First into the pool calls the win. The adult supervisor watches the full run from ground level with a clear sightline to both lanes throughout.

Exit and Run It Back

Both riders exit the splash pool and rejoin the line. Turn cycles are fast because both lanes load and run simultaneously. The loser demands a rematch. The winner accepts. This cycle runs for 8 full hours without the attraction losing any competitive energy.

Space and Access Requirements

You need 30 feet of length and 17 feet of width on flat ground with no overhead obstructions - tree limbs or power lines above the setup area need to be cleared before our crew arrives. A 48-inch (4-foot) wide gate and a clear walking path from the gate to the setup area are required for delivery. The area under the footprint should be free of sprinkler heads, stakes, or equipment. Contact us before booking if your yard has significant slope in the direction the slide will run.

Water Hose Requirements

You must provide a standard garden hose long enough to reach from your water spigot to the slide setup location. Expandable grow hoses do not deliver adequate water pressure for continuous operation throughout the day - use a traditional rubber or vinyl garden hose. Have the hose connected and tested before our delivery crew arrives. Inflatable Party Magic provides tarps at the entry and exit areas to reduce muddy conditions around the slide base.

Safety Features

The Lava Rush includes a safety wall at the end of the splash pool that stops riders without impact. Grass setups use anchor stakes; concrete and asphalt setups use sandbags. State inspection is annual through the Texas Department of Insurance. Lead-free fire-retardant vinyl construction. Cleaned and sanitized between every rental. Review our full safety standards before your event.

Floor is Lava Birthday Parties

The Floor is Lava theme is one of the most requested birthday party concepts in DFW right now, and the Lava Rush Water Slide is the only water slide in the catalog that visually matches the theme. Red and orange lava graphics on a dark base - this slide is the theme made physical. Pair with the lava-themed dry slide for a full lava-world event setup.

Summer Birthday Parties Ages 5 and Up

For a birthday party spanning ages 5 through adult, the Lava Rush handles the full active guest range. Kids get 16 feet of height and genuine racing competition. Adults who want a run fit the lanes without issue. The dual-lane format means siblings, cousins, and friends race head-to-head instead of waiting through individual turns.

Fourth of July and Summer Backyard Events

Summer cookouts and holiday gatherings need an attraction that keeps guests active during the hottest part of a Texas afternoon. The dual-lane racing format on the Lava Rush creates sustained competitive energy - guests who have been sitting at the picnic tables find reasons to get back up when there is a race to run and a score to settle.

School Field Days and End-of-Year Events

The dual-lane format processes twice as many students per hour compared to a single-lane slide of the same height. For school field days where throughput across a large student group matters, the Lava Rush is a practical scheduling advantage alongside the visual impact it creates on school grounds. Inflatable Party Magic handles all vendor approval for schools and COI documentation.

Church Summer Events and Youth Group Water Days

Church youth groups and VBS summer events benefit from the dual-lane throughput - two students run every turn, which moves large groups through faster with one adult supervisor managing the exit pool. The lava graphics draw kids to the slide visually before the first announcement is made. Hard surface setup works for church parking lots and fellowship grounds without grass.

Corporate Summer Events and Team Outings

Company summer picnics and employee appreciation events get more from dual-lane racing than from a single-lane slide. Colleagues racing head-to-head creates the competitive moment that generates the shared memory of the day. The Lava Rush at a corporate event is the attraction employees talk about the following Monday.

Bounce House Rentals

Add a bounce house for younger guests not ready for the 16-foot slide, or pair both to give every age group a dedicated activity.

Obstacle Course Rentals

Pair a dry obstacle course alongside the water slide to give guests who want to stay dry their own competitive activity zone.

Tables, Chairs, and Tents

Shade and seating for spectators watching the races and guests taking a break between turns. Essential for Texas summer heat.
