Report: Willy Wonka Immersive Event Leaves Kids in Tears: “It Looks Like a Meth Lab”
An “immersive experience” that promised to transport Willy Wonka fans into a “magical realm” has turned out to be such an epic letdown that customers called the police and compared the attraction to a meth lab.

The U.K. event was titled Willy’s Chocolate Experience and charged customers $44 each (photos below). The attraction was not affiliated with the Warner Bros. movie Wonka, though the event’s marketing came as close as possible to suggesting it was based on author Roald Dahl’s creation. The ad copy invited fans to journey to “a universe where confectionary dreams are brought to life” that included “mind-expanding projections, optical marvels and exhibits that transport you into the realm of creativity” and “wondrous creations and enchanting surprises at every turn!”

The event organizers apparently used artificial intelligence to generate promotional images that suggested a very high-quality attraction, which looked just like the immersive and trippy Wonka-esque world that the ad copy promised. But the result was somewhat different, and ticket buyers needed pure imagination to think it looked anything like a fantastical chocolate factory.

As reported by The Guardian, customers showed up in Glasgow to find “a sparsely decorated warehouse with a scattering of plastic props, a small bouncy castle and some backdrops pinned against the walls.” Scotland police were even called to the scene, the event shut down and parents said their children were in tears. All the event lacked was a man in top hat telling customers: “You get nothing! You lose! Good day, sir!”

Photos from the event went viral online comparing what was promised to what was delivered:

If you think that whatever you think those two have brought to this country in anyway compares to breaking up the royal family, it just goes to show why we continue to be your daddy running 248 years straight now.

They have hardly broken up the Royal Family. If anything the Royals have gotten a lot of sympathy and support from having to deal with the spare ginger one and his slapper.

That's why Meghan is so awful. You have to tolerate her BS, but she won't break up the Royal Family. You're stuck with both.

Ask the estranged parties on both sides how together they feel as a family unit right now.

(BTW, you had an “upper hand” retort at your disposal, but you completely overlooked it)

There's now a petition to reopen the Willy Wonka experience. People genuinely want to go and see the shittest event imaginable for themselves. The organisers really should get the ball rolling on this because it's the easiest and quickest buck they'll ever make.
