Immersive Willy Wonka experience shuts down after parents complain



Organizers have canceled an immersive Willy Wonka event in Scotland that promised to make visitors’ “chocolate dreams become reality” after parents complained of false advertising.

Local media in Glasgow reported families were sold on a day of “pure imagination,” but when they arrived, they found a minimally decorated warehouse and one bouncy castle.

  1. "Willys chocolate experience"
    Sounds like willy tried the other hole 😮😮

  2. Not kne thing to do with chocolate. Lol

  3. Yeah. You really need pure imagination to believe that one. That's cheap rip off even by Scottish standards.

  4. Don’t throw me stones y’all but technically they did advertise correctly. The main key words here is pure imagination which you can tell the parents and kids didn’t have. Case closed 😂

  5. They called the police for this loll

  6. It's beautiful 😍 like the movie 🎬

  7. Poor kids, I can’t imagine as a child looking at these advertisements and imagining all the magical things and see that. If they would’ve put half as much effort organizing that they did designing the website, there wouldnt be any problems..

  8. A parent said the bouncy house was half inflated and the kids got one jelly bean and a half cup of juice. 🫠

  9. i’m suprised to hear this is in Scotland😮

  10. Dude from the Fyre Festival at it again

  11. Yooo one of the people hired to do this event made a tiktok about her experience on this!!

  12. Have we learned nothing from Dashcon?

  13. I feel bad for the actors. They didn't know what they were getting into. 😂😅

  14. They complained to police?

  15. Lmmaooooo I’m crying now they knew wtf they was doing . 😂😂😂😂

  16. They forgot to take acid before getting there

  17. The beginning of lazy people tricking everyone with amazing promo made in seconds with AI

  18. Looks exactly like Trumps promises for America

  19. The Wisconsin Dells (America).is like this.

  20. This is AI, ladies and gentlemen! Complete and utter garbage!
