The event organiser, House of Illuminati, which charged up to £35 for tickets, promised an “immersive experince” based on the Warner Bros film Wonka, which stars Timothée Chalamet as the young chocolate entrepreneur and was an instant hit with children and grownups over the festive period.

The event publicity promised giant mushrooms, candy canes and chocolate fountains, along with special audio and visual effects, all narrated by dancing Oompa-Loompas – the tiny, orange men who power Wonka’s chocolate factory in the Roald Dahl book which inspired the prequel film.
But instead, when eager families turned up to the address in Whiteinch, an industrial area of Glasgow, they discovered a sparsely decorated warehouse with a scattering of plastic props, a small bouncy castle and some backdrops pinned against the walls.
…
Police Scotland confirmed that officers had been called to the venue after complaints.
Paul Connell, an actor who had been hired by the company to perform at the event, told STV News of his shock when he arrived at the warehouse and realised that the rubric he had been given was impossible to fulfil because none of the promised props or special effects were there.
“My heart sank looking around … I just felt sad because I was aware of how many kids were going to be coming through.
“We were told to hand the kids a couple of jelly beans and a quarter cup of lemonade at the end.”
Connell said that when he asked the organisers what he should do with the script he was told to improvise. -

2024-02-28 at 4:16 PM UTCEverybody read Willy WOnka but nobody read CHARLIE AND THE GREAT GLASS ELEVATOR, the direct sequel where you learn Roald Dahl is a skitzophrenic and slowly lose all respect you had for the previous book
I read it once when I was a kid and all i remember is they stay in the elevator for THE ENTIRE BOOK and do nothing but yap and it starts getting really metaphorical and skitzo and nothing happensCharlie and his family board the flying Great Glass Elevator to return to the chocolate factory now that Willy Wonka has rewarded Charlie with its ownership. When Wonka attempts to bring the Elevator high enough to punch back into the factory, it accidentally goes into orbit. Wonka docks them instead at the empty Space Hotel "U.S.A.", which is coincidentally nearby, causing baffled officials back on Earth (including U.S. President Lancelot R. Gilligrass) to accuse the group of being foreign enemies. Wonka tricks them by loudly singing gibberish, pretending to be an alien, but is interrupted by the discovery that the hotel contains actual dangerous, shape-changing aliens known as Vermicious Knids. The band escapes back into orbit in the Elevator.
Once they leave, the President allows the Commuter Capsule, carrying astronauts and Space Hotel staff, to dock with the Space Hotel. Upon entry, the Knids devour several staff, prompting an immediate evacuation. The Elevator, having circled around the Earth, braves the swarm of Knids to tow the damaged Capsule out of danger. During a last attempt by the Knids to tow the craft away themselves, they are incinerated by Earth's atmosphere. The Elevator crew releases the Commuter Capsule and crashes through Wonka's factory roof. Upon landing, Wonka is greeted warmly by the Oompa-Loompas, who were concerned about his prolonged absence from the factory.
this sounds like it could be cool for a sci-fi willy wonka but no they just sit in a fucking glass elevator that has oxygen in space somehow even though british people have NEVER had a space program but they assume they can just fly a fucking glass with holes into space because they are RETARDS -

This is the thing: no children were killed during event so it still turned out better than the original Willy Wonka chocolate factory experience. -
