The reason Christmas in the Park didn't survive it's rookie year is probably because there wasn't really much there. Just a gift shop, a carousel and a few lights. Thus, the crowds were light.
Now, if they put the same effort into Christmas as they do Halloweekends, then we would have something. It'd be nice not to have to drive to Hershey to get the same holiday amusement park experience.
