“Flop” Willy Wonka experience in Glasgow goes viral for being so terrible
Wonka-themed chocolate “experience” in Glasgow has been branded as “awful” by furious parents and forced to shut just hours after opening.Dubbed as ‘Willy’s Chocolate Experience’, the event advertised “a celebration of sweetness and imagination”, inspired by the hit movie Wonka and the Roald Dahl book that inspired it.Tickets cost £35 and promised audio and visual effects, dancing Oompa-Loompas and chocolate fountains, but delivered little more than a barely-decorated warehouse with a smattering of plastic candy canes and a small bouncy castle.Outraged parents began demanding a refund shortly after it opened, describing it as a “farce” run by “cowboys”. The event’s organisers, House of Illuminati, decided to pull the plug just hours into its opening day.apparently this was sold as a live Willy Wonka Experience but they used all AI images on the website to sell tickets and then people showed up and saw this and it got so bad people called the cops lmao pic.twitter.com/tfkyg0G0WG— Chris Alsikkan (@AlsikkanTV) February 26, 2024they charged $45 for this pic.twitter.com/0Nlk0IMJkj— Chris Alsikkan (@AlsikkanTV) February 26, 2024Police Scotland also sent officers to the scene after receiving a number of official complaints.House of Illuminati issued an apology and guaranteed to refund all customers within 10 days.
