    An experience...

    that needs to be repeated apparently.

    The infamous Willy’s Chocolate Experience staged in Glasgow, which prompted angry parents to call police, inspired dozens of memes on the internet and even got a mention in the House of Commons, is to be recreated in Los Angeles.

    Billed as a “celebration of chocolate in all its delightful forms” when it opened at a warehouse in Glasgow in February, it instead made headlines after furious families demanded their money back and the event was abruptly cancelled midway through.


    The event organisers, House of Illuminati, who charged up to £35 for tickets, had promised an “immersive experience” based on the Warner Bros film Wonka, with giant mushrooms, candy canes and chocolate fountains, along with special audio and visual effects – and, of course, dancing Oompa-Loompas, the diminutive stars of the Roald Dahl book on which the film was based.

        Reminds me of when Banksy created a deliberately tulip amusement park a few years ago. Didn't sound fun then, doesn't sound fun now. Is it purely for people to get ironic selfies?

          Didn't read this fully but.. So are they going to re-create the disaster as a comedy experience/real life meme or are they going to re-create the wonka experience done propely? I ask as someone else halfway around the world creating a Wonk experience isn't exactly re-creating it.

            Yeah. The article was crap.

            But the entire point was that out of work actors who think their comedians can get a job recreating the terrible British experience.
