Tower of London detail from overall mapJust as it seems that we can't cause any more havoc in town, we see the forbidding Tower of London where Toad is imprisoned. Barreling through the gates, we are surpised to find that the guards are unconcious, slumped against the wall with large lumps on their heads.
With a sudden crash, Toad flies into view. He is using the ball and chain around his ankle to careen around the cell, smashing into the stone walls, the unconcious guard's keys in his hands. This illusion is created with the use of strategically glass panels and digital animation of Toad which is projected from areas beyond guests' view.
"Ho Ho! You're just in time," Toad says. Building up momentum, Toad hurls his ball over our heads (thanks to the same digital projection technique) and goes sailing out of sight. We pursue and see Toad's shadow (another projection) on a far wall, unlocking his shackles. As our car rounds a pillar, we see that Toad in the flesh (as an Audio-Animatronics figure) free of his ball and chain and gesturing to the large prison door, which is opening for our escape.
A loud train whistle is heard. "There's my ride now!" says Toad as we escape the Tower.
