I highly recommend checking out the website while it’s still up https://willyschocolateexperience.com/

They didn’t even bother to fix the fucked-up text on the AI-generated images. It’s amazing. I can’t wait to experience the dodjection and ukxepcted twits

I’ve never booked any event or experience in a fixed venue that doesn’t show actual photos of said venue. Booking or travelling long distances because of this ai generated nonsense is alarming.

Do people not read anymore? Do people not know AI generated imagery at all when they see it?

It sounds like a phishing scam. Everything is so incredibly vague. What is an “enchanted garden”? what’s in it? What do you do there? Fuck you, pay us to find out.

Speaking to my pal today who is an aspiring standup and also does work as an extra for tv shows. He’s just told me someone in his group chat was hired to play Wonka and had been given a 12 page script to learn which was also AI generated.

Edit: he’s talking to the media now

Edit 2: and now he’s been me too’d. Former drama student of his is accusing him of sexual impropriety. Could this story get any more nuts?

“Any resemblance to any character, fictitious or living, is purely coincidental. This experience is in no way related”

“Unfortunately last minute we were let down in many areas of our event and tried our best to continue on and push through and now realise we probably should have cancelled first thing this morning instead.”

What kinda fyre fest excuse is this? Slugworth came round and stole all the good decorations in the night.

Like how did they not on Friday be like “yeah this is trash.”

Like I’ve seen school dances who just had volunteers and construction paper come together 100 times better.

A Willy Wonka-inspired experience was brought to a halt following complaints it was “an absolute shambles of an event” and left children in tears.

… being promised a “chocolate fantasy like never before” where “dreams become reality”.

Despite advertisements pledging a “journey filled with wondrous creations and enchanting surprises”, families instead described the experience as “absolutely appalling”

Oh and great idea to have a person dressed in a terrifying outfit to come out and scare all the kids. They were all crying - it was terrible, shocking and embarrassing to be honest.

Sold a dream and delivered a nightmare

Sounds like a genuine Willy wonker experience 10/10 would never go back.

Stuart Sinclair, 29, travelled two hours from Dundee with his two sons and four-year-old daughter to the event.

Mr Sinclair said his children only received a couple of jelly babies and a quarter of a can of Barr’s Limeade.

Huh, not what I expected. I thought the scandal was going to be that they took it way too far making it too much like the movies and maybe someone got hurt.
