  • Move over, Fyre Festival.
  • Move over, Dashcon.
  • We have a new absolute flop in town in the form of the utter failure that is the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience.
  • Clearly coasting off the back of the latest film adaptation of Roald Dahl's the novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a company in Scotland promised to provide a whimsical jaunt through memory lane.
  • And yet when families arrived to have fun, it turned out to be incredibly depressing.
  • House of Illuminati, which is run by just one guy, is responsible for the event, and used what is clearly AI generated imagery and text to advertise it.
  • And, of course, in a world where social media exists, frustrated parents quickly found out that the beautiful and colourful world shown on the internet was a scam, prompting calls to police and endless memes from recorded video and pictures.
  • A stand up comedian hired to play Willy Wonka, Paul Connell, says actors were last minute hires, and all attempted to do the best they could for the kids, despite feeling cheated and frustrated with House of Illuminati.
  • In an interview with The Independent, Connell said, The bit that got me was where I had to say,
  • A recording of a man in a metal mask shows this unknown and he is hilarious, although I wouldn't be surprised if he scared the kids out of their minds.
  • Paul finished up his interview by noting, So at least the people who were hired by the scam artist weren't blamed for the horrible outcome, and it was made clear that House of Illuminati was the one who royally screwed up.
  • The entire debacle demonstrates an important lesson in how to create a fun experience, such as do not use AI to market everything and write scripts.
  • In a digital age where everything is recorded and posted online for the world to see, not being able to follow up on promises is more damning than ever, which is why events like Fyre Festival and Dashcon have gone down in history.
  • In short, whilst the families were completely short changed in attending, the Willy Wonka experience in Glasgow is hilarious in its presentation, and perhaps the kids who went will fondly look back on the disaster as a completely silly moment they experienced growing up.
