TP slide - Straight or bumpy for Explorer frame?????

We have the Explorer climbing frame and want to add on a slide for dd2's birthday. She will be 4. Dd1 is 6 and obviously uses the climbing frame too.
DD2 wants the bumpy slide but I think the straight one will have more appeal long term. Which would you recommend? TIA

we have the bumpy one, not sure of the frame.
I would get straight (ours was 2nd hand).

We have the straight one - tallest possible option, with extension.

It's really fast and the girls (aged 6 and 3) love it.

Thank you. That is my gut feeling. Is it slow?

Oh, I meant is the bumpy one slow?

straight - we have this and DS loves it. Next door have the wavy one and their kids prefer ours - more speed, especially with the extension, and even better if you've just come out of the paddling pool!

DD's friend has the bumpy one and it definitely looks slower. I am too heavy to try it for myself .

I am sure my arse wouldn't fit down the slide for me to try it!

I am glad you seem to be agreeing with my gut feeling.....just dd2 to persuade now

not sure about slower as such, although it probably is. Just that the bumpy one seems uncomfortable.

Lol at uncomfortable. I am convinced
