Theme Park Ride Order Optimizer

This project is a web application designed to optimize the order of rides at a theme park given user ride preferences and wait time data.

Features

• Pre-Park Planning Mode: Plan your day in advance using average wait times adjusted according to time of day. In order to use pre-park planning mode for a park other than Magic Kingdom, upload a park_averages.txt.
• In-Park Planning Mode: Get real-time ride recommendations based on current wait times.
• Customizable Layout: Configure the layout of lands and rides visually.
• User Ratings: Rate rides to personalize your experience.

Setup

Prerequisites

• A web server to host the application (e.g., Apache, Nginx, or a simple HTTP server).
• A Cloudflare Worker or similar service to bypass CORS restrictions for the API.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/rides.git
   cd rides

2. Place the magic_kingdom_averages.txt or other theme park file in the root directory of the project.

3. Serve the index.html file using your preferred web server.

Configuration

• API Endpoint: The application fetches live wait times from https://rides.jjchen256.workers.dev/, which uses a Cloudfare worker to fetch from https://queue-times.com/parks/6/queue_times.json. You can change this to another API endpoint if needed.
• Average Wait Times: For pre-park planning, provide average wait times in a .txt file. The format should be:

  Ride Name, Average Wait Time
  

Usage

1. Open the application in your web browser.
2. Select the mode (Pre-Park Planning or In-Park Planning).
3. Configure the layout by selecting the center land and peripheral lands.
4. Rate each ride from 1 to 10.
5. Set the start and end times for your visit.
6. Click "Plan My Day" to get your recommended ride order.
