Subject: [PATCH] feat: schedule targeted refresh at each park's exact opening
 time

In addition to the 2-minute polling interval, compute milliseconds until
each park's opening time (from hoursLabel + park timezone) and schedule
a setTimeout to fire 30s after opening. This ensures the open indicator
and ride counts appear immediately rather than waiting up to 2 minutes.
