For anyone who has worked at Six Flags (New England, Over Georgia, Magic Mountain, Discovery Kingdom, and America), what was it like driving the Thomas the Tank Engine/Whistlestop Train ride?

I’m genuinely curious because the ride is a Metalbau Emmeln ParkExpress 6000, I’m wondering what controls were there, are they prone to maintenance? Are the diesel fuel prices high and that’s why New England’s Whistlestop Train only runs in a certain period (Fright Fest)? I'm especially curious about the maintenance side. Since it's a diesel-hydraulic German system (Metallbau Emmeln), how hard was it getting parts? And for anyone from SFNE—is the train being mostly limited to Fright Fest a fuel cost issue, or purely a staffing/demographics problem?

MyGica A681B not working?

Hello,

I'm trying to get my TV tuner working for Plex Media Server but whenever I try to scan for channels it always doesn't find any channels, Windows Media Center finds the channels, the built in program that came with the tuner can find the channels, but not Plex.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks.

[Wii] What is the best way to implement a main menu for a Wii Homebrew Game?

Hello,

I am writing a "Pizza Maker" Wii Homebrew game in C++, but I'm having troubles figuring out how to implement a main menu. Because I initially wanted to make the main menu an image and make it so if you click there it'll take you to the game, credits, or other options. However the menu either loads as a brown screen (Meaning that it didn't load the .png file) or a black screen. I'm not sure if it is an image issue or not. I'm just wondering what would be the most efficient way to implement a main menu.

Thanks.

Help my sister wants to play Disney Infinity, but she has a MacBook Neo and she owns the Steam game on Windows

Hello,

My sister wants to play Disney Infinity, however she is running a MacBook Neo. She has played the game before on her brother’s
Gaming Laptop. However she wants to play it on her own laptop. We have tried numerous attempts, but have failed to get Steam to load. When we tried Wine, it showed a black screen when the login screen normally appears for Steam. But when I hovered over, my
Mouse was acting like there were buttons there and I could type stuff in. So I’m not sure if this is a graphical issue on Wine’s end. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Have they closed the Saville Dam for walking?

I remember back in 2019 I used to walk down there and they had a beach and everything and we could walk by the water from the Barkhamsted Reservoir but now whenever we go past it, it is closed. We tried looking for a website or something to see if they had announced anything but they didn’t have a website.

He is working on a 60s styled show about a band (think The Monkees or The Beatles) who get popular, I saw a recent pilot (Street Catz) that kind of reminded me of his show and I wanted to get his show out there.

Hello,

I have the original Blu-ray release of the Pixar movie Up, and on Disc 2 there is a Wilderness Explorer game. The online leaderboards for the game were on Disney’s BD Live Network server, unfortunately the server is long gone. However a few days ago I was looking through a network analyzer and I saw that whenever you clicked the Ranking Menu it sent a POST request to “disneyscores.com/API” and I decided to spoof that by using a proxy server to redirect the old disneyscores.com server to my server (which has an API folder), to my surprise instead of only showing the Local Rankings it now showed the BD Live rankings too so it was actually grabbing from my server. However I tried to play the game and when it was done it was sending a XML request:

Password=qy5m2aux&DiscID=00000000000000001&APIMethod=SubmitScore&GameID=4&Score=7855&DisplayName=AAA&UserName=

and I wasn’t sure how to translate that. Whenever the leaderboards load it sends this:

Password=qy5m2aux&DiscID=00000000000000001&APIMethod=GetScores&GameID=4&Mode=HighestToLowest&StartValue=0&EndValue=9

I tried making a Python script that could read from a txt file and translate it to that but it still ends up showing blank.

How do I go about doing this?
