Oct. 18, 2011 | WMFE - Florida's newest theme park, Legoland, opened this past weekend. Legoland is being hailed as lifesaver for Central Polk County which has suffered since one of Florida's oldest theme parks, Cypress Gardens, closed for the final time in 2009.

Enthusiastic crowds packed the new attraction over the weekend, but will it continue to draw big crowds?
90.7’s Tom Parkinson asked economic analyst Hank Fishkind if Legoland will have a lasting impact on Central Florida’s economy.
