Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Police called to Glasgow Willy Wonka event after families demand refunds WWW.BBC.COM Families say the event promising "enchanting suprises" but was little more than an abandoned warehouse. Quote Police were called to an event described as a "Willy Wonka Experience" in Glasgow as angry families demanded refunds. The event was advertised as a "journey filled with wondrous creations and enchanting surprises at every turn". But one visitor told BBC Scotland News that it was little more than "an abandoned, empty warehouse". It was cancelled by organisers House of Illuminati mid-way through Saturday following complaints from parents. They have said full refunds will be given to everyone who bought tickets, reported to have cost up to £35. The organizers apparently used AI-generated images to sell tickets: The AI-generated fantasy: The reality: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some interesting things here but the price of entry is outrageous. $100 for four people. It’s two rooms with some water colors, crayons, and chalk at various stations. Some tablets with some games. A giant Lite Brite. Print your choice of text on a crayon paper. A sandbox. There were other attractions there but they cost extra and I wasn’t about to give this place any more... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputator Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 There was a pic somewhere of the food they served, which was a styrofoam box with a pile of lettuce and sliced tomato on top, and a couple pieces of toast with cheese on them. Like I ate better when I was broke and living in the ghetto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
