viral experience, which was advertised as an immersive event based on the recent Timothée Chalamet movie, Wonka, went viral when it appeared to be a disappointment to many ticket holders.At £35 a ticket, attendees were promised audio and visual effects, chocolate fountains and a totally interactive experience, but were instead presented with low-budget props, limited refreshments and an AI-generated script, all carried out in an abandoned warehouse.The complaints made resulted in the event being closed on the same day it opened, and the ordeal has gone viral, with one particular element providing the most confusion.A silver-faced, wigged character called The Unknown was a key part of the event, designed as an evil rival chocolatier living in the walls of Willy Wonka’s factory, and used to frighten guests at the Glasgow experience.so excited to announce that i will be making a guest appearance as the unknown in @The London Dungeon on april 7th!!

‘The Simpsons’ seems to have predicted the ‘Willy Wonka Experience’ fiasco

The Simpsons has once again appeared to have predicted a current-day event – this time in the recent ‘Willy Wonka Experience’ fiasco in Glasgow.The Wonka-themed chocolate “experience” in Glasgow had been branded “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.Now, fans of The Simpsons have noticed the similarity between the ill-fated event and an episode from season five, ‘Bart’s Inner Child’ when Homer explains to Marge that he plans to open a play park for children in the family’s back garden.Homer dreams of charging $50 to enter ‘Homerland’ which features ‘Trampoline World’ (one trampoline per hour children), ‘Mudville USA’ which is just a large puddle and ‘Fort Adventure’ – which turns out to be a pile of dirty mattresses.Check out the eerie similarities here:The Simpsons did it again

Actor hired for Fyre Festival-esque Willy Wonka ‘experience’ disaster says he felt scammed: ‘It was an absolute mess’

Ja Rule did in the wake of the Fyre Festival, he also felt “hustled, scammed, bamboozled, hood winked, lead astray.”An actor hired to work at the recent, disastrous Willy Wonka-themed event in Scotland feels his golden ticket was a scam.Paul Connell, who played the part of Wonka at “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” at the Box Hub Warehouse in Glasgow, said the viral event was an “absolute mess” and one of the “most embarrassing things” he’s ever seen, South West News Service reported.The calamity, which cost $45 a person, promised guests a “journey filled with wondrous creations and enchanting surprises” — but instead ended with kids in tears and furious parents.Guests arrived on Saturday, Feb. 24, to a “dirty,” near-empty warehouse — which Connell further described as a “health and safety nightmare” — with a printed AI background, a sad bouncy castle and lackluster props.There was also virtually no candy at the “Chocolate Experience,” and Connell said he was told to give kids one single jelly bean each and a quarter of a glass of lemonade upon arrival.Red-headed Connell admitted that an immediate “red flag” came when he was asked to portray Willy Wonka, rather than an Oompa Loompa — which he felt he better resembled.“The first red flag for me was when I was cast as Willy Wonka.
