It was supposed to be an immersive experience, transporting Willy Wonka fans into his wonderful world of sweets and smiles.Instead, parents got an empty wall, a single bouncy castle and no chocolate. The experience was in Glasgow, United Kingdom and according to the website, the attraction invited fans into "a universe where confectionary dreams are brought to life.
"When we arrived, it was nothing like what was promised," Sinclair said. In the photos provided by Sinclair, the event looks nothing like what’s advertised on the website. It was an empty warehouse with random bits of plastic decoration littered around the room and a sad bouncy castle that looked like it had given up on life. Since then, a Facebook group about the event was created with dozens of people sharing their experience.
