Carowinds may have one of the best “Big 4” lineups, but like you said it really drops off a cliff. I hope they get a ground-up RMC sometime in the future. Then their top 5 would be absolutely stacked.
I love Nighthawk, but I agree that the wait times are ridiculous. Unfortunately, I don't think they can really get any better because of how they have to load the trains.
