On Tuesday, the Daily Record broke the news that the one, the only, the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience—reviled by local parents, remembered by the terminally online everywhere—is set to make its return. The “immersive event” organized by a group called “House of Illuminati” has lived in internet infamy since its debut in February, when it charged $44 for all the makings of the fictional chocolatier’s world yet delivered little but an inflatable castle and forlorn Oompa Loompas in an eerie warehouse just outside the port city. It was abruptly shut down after authorities were called.
Now, in an exclusive interview with the Scottish newspaper, one of those forlorn Oompa Loompas, Kirsty Paterson, has revealed that the experience will return on April 28 with a new location: Los Angeles.
“I didn’t really expect to end up in the USA or to go as big as this because the USA is on a different level,” Paterson said. “When I was a kid I always said my dream job would be a children’s TV presenter and that’s now a possibility.” Dreams? They’re coming true, people.
