Kid Power Towers misses five Brick or Treat nights, two more than the Great LEGO Race

If your kid's whole reason for going to Brick or Treat is hauling themselves up a tower that reaches 40 feet and dropping off it, check the date first. Kid Power Towers is closing for most of the first month of the event.

LEGOLAND Florida Resort's temporary closures page now lists Kid Power Towers (9/8 - 10/4), a window that runs two days longer than the entry above it, The Great LEGO Race (9/8 - 10/2). We reported both lines on August 24. There is no press release attached to either one, the resort's press page returns a 404, and the closures page carries no date stamp and sends no Last-Modified header, so there is no way to say when either line went up, only that both are on the page today.

Do the math against the event calendar

Brick or Treat runs 18 dates: September 5, 6, 12, 19 and 26, then October 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 30 and 31.

• Kid Power Towers, down 9/8 to 10/4: misses five event days, September 12, 19 and 26 plus October 3 and 4.
• The Great LEGO Race, down 9/8 to 10/2: misses three, September 12, 19 and 26.

Both counts read the posted ranges as inclusive, so October 4 is the last closed day. LEGOLAND does not say whether the second date in a listed range is the last closed day or the return day. On the other reading Kid Power Towers misses four nights, not five. The Great LEGO Race count of three holds either way.

Both rides are open for opening weekend on September 5 and 6. After that they go down together, and Kid Power Towers is the one still closed when the event's first October weekend arrives.

There is a second squeeze on the same ride

Kid Power Towers is filed under Imagination Zone on LEGOLAND's rides list, and Imagination Zone is separately listed as closed from 8/17 to 9/4. The two windows do not overlap, and the park's own description puts the indoor Imagination Zone building next to the outdoor Kid Power Towers rather than around it, so the ride kept running through August. Imagination Zone reopens on September 5, gets the opening weekend of Brick or Treat, and the tower ride beside it goes down three days later.

PEPPA PIG Theme Park is running back to back closures too

The same page lists Daddy Pigs Roller Coaster down 8/10 to 9/4, spelling it without the apostrophe the ride's own page uses. Daddy Pig's Roller Coaster is the only roller coaster on PEPPA PIG Theme Park Florida's rides and attractions list, which runs to 17 entries. It returns September 5, and then Mr. Bull's High Striker goes down September 8 through September 25.

What is still open

Pirate River Quest remains closed with no listed return date, which we covered last week. LEGOLAND Water Park and the resort hotels are both listed as having all attractions open. The park's own footnote is worth keeping in mind: "Additional attractions may be closed without notice."

Brick or Treat is included with general park admission and select passes, and runs select dates from September 5 through October 31.
