Moving the topic of web design over here. Thanks, those of you who put in your $.02. HTML and CSS are not programming languages but both are essentially to know to effectively be able to work on most major websites.
I'm certainly no expert, but all websites run on the foundation of HTML. If you right click any website -> view source, you will see they all generally use HTML tags that are served to the browser. You may chose various languages to develop the site such as Java, Python, PHP, Ruby, C, C#, VB, JavaScript, etc., but usually at some point they are compiled or translated by a web server into some form of HTML.
If you look at the public source of Carowinds, it appears to me that it might be using Node.js (although a version or two ago of it was using ASP.Net). JavaScript has always been a client-side scripting language that allows you to offload some of the work for a website to the client's computer (and it is also something universal you should be familiar with for web development). What is unique about Node.js is that it runs JavaScript on the server.
