The Tidal Wave sign
Hello, I am currently recreating the sign for the Tidal Wave coaster and was wondering if anyone knows what those little dots are in the middle of the waves. Are they lights? There are 132 of them if anyone was wondering.

Which sign are you replicating? The Gurnee one was over the queue and the SC one was placed on the "beach". From this view the SC sign looks like it has lights on the waves:

BTW, I made a Demon sign for halloween
At night the eyes glowed bright red and I had the Demon song playing in the background.

Glorfindel7 is correct. They were solid white (at least Gurnee's were).
Guys, your signs are awesome! Crackin up......I love the Demon thing for Halloween! Great idea Always wanted to make full size waves, but a drain pipe sounds even better. Plus I gotta add a prop each year, right? Too bad no one in Ohio would recognize it.
If CoasterDynamix ever decides on an Arrow style kit (everyone please write them!), I plan on a fully themed Demon model, complete with drain pipe.... *evil laugh*

Hi Brad,
I like your Tidal Wave model as seen here. Nice Job!

(I had posted this link in another thread a while back, so some
of you may have seen it.)
Is this model still on public display?
