Theme Park Ticketing System

This is a Node.js/Express web application for a theme park ticketing system. It allows users to register, log in, view rides, purchase tickets (with optional fast-track rides), and manage their tickets. The app uses Firebase Authentication for user management and MongoDB for data storage.

Features

• User Registration & Login: Secure authentication using Firebase.
• View Rides: Browse available rides and their fast-track prices.
• Buy Tickets: Purchase standard tickets and add fast-track rides.
• Manage Tickets: View, edit, and use your tickets.
• Session Management: Secure session cookies for authentication.
• Error Handling: Custom error pages for unauthorized access, not found, and server errors.
• Sensitive Data in .env: All secrets and credentials are now managed via environment variables.
• Automatic Browser Launch: The app opens in your browser automatically when started.
