“Things like the 22-ft. spacecraft for Laser Maze get attention,” says Ron. “It was used on another business for two years where it was coming out of the wall. They closed and we got it back, then sold it to this attraction in New Jersey. It’s all lit with LEDs, and we have turbo lights behind that Lexan. The back wall is carved SignFoam HDU over an aluminum frame. We routed the texture into that, then have LED lights on the back of the letters that light up that back wall.
