[@natiquinn830]

I got a bit of insider knowledge from my Glaswegian friend (in his own words): 1. The company booked a hell of a lot of high end props, sets in fact. Then didn't pay. Some genius thought "that's ok, we'll pay them from the profits" without actually talking to the prop company. The prop company, (still awaiting payment) did not send anything. This left the staff three days to frantically build Something. This also gave them no time to rehearse. 2. There was meant to be a sponsorship with a local artisan chocolate company, who went bust almost two months before the show opened. Somehow that went unnoticed. 3. Likewise a deal with Barr's for soft drinks fell through after the manager of the event's company was insulting to Barr's.

Well, chatgpt simply deals with probabilistic models of volumes and volumes of words to determine the next best word to use after each subsequent word based on the prompt given. For example, if I were to write a prompt that was just "to be" it would most likely respond next with 'or not to be' and depending on how many tokens (word segments) I told it to use, it would continue writing more words after that in a probabilistic manner. It's not actually deciding anything. It can't think. It's not true artificial intelligence as in having self awareness.

HEARTWARMING?! Um, Danny's comical take must be clouding your vision. AI art is the bait that tricked families to come out expecting a whimsical adventure- like they saw in the extravagantly illustrated promos. Splurging on expensive tickets to an immersive fantasy land, only to stumble into a stark warehouse alongside other parents realizing they'd been robbed is awful. Worse, their children were unaware and excited, then confused and scared by the menacing "attractions" the thoughtless scammers tried to pass off as legit. It was disastrous enough to involve the police for chrissake! Anything that riddled with absurd miscalculations is easy to laugh at- to fail so thoroughly takes exceptional incompetence. But realize your perspective has been informed by narration with humorous hindsight. This is mostly a tragedy, a disturbing, scary truth and cautionary warning to heed than anything else if we're really being honest.

Not enough comments about the "pasadise of sweet teats" I'm sure if either that or the holographic paper had made it to the event, it would have been a huge success.

[@CinfulArts]

As a scare actress who cackles like a maniac after having terrified people during haunts, I feel for the actor playing the unknown, because when a child enters a haunt, they and the parents know what they’re getting into, so when you enter an event that’s supposed to be magical and wholesome, you don’t expect your child to be absolutely traumatized by something that wasn’t even in the original story

[@lizzyblitz07]

It was a 16 y/o girl apparently. Her first gig. Honestly I think 16 is the perfect age to realize it was a mess in retrospect but not feel a ton of guilt over it. She was there to be weird and creepy and she did well, without (from what we saw) going over the top. Creepy, but creepy from a distance and without lunging 😅

[@johku7638]

Yeah what were they thinking? The kid's scared little "no" was so sad :/

[@robonator2945]

look, I get what you're saying, and you make a valid point, but like, are you just forgetting being randomly traumatized out of absolutely nowhere while looking for a family friendly experience of chocolate and fun is the canonical description of Willy Wonka? Slavery, body-horror, the fires of hell burning as you ride a boat down a dark tunnel with a mysterious man you've never met before displaying ever-increasing symptoms of severe mental illness - honestly if there *_wasn't_* some random and completely unexpected child kidnapping demon chocolate maker that would probably be the weirder reality. The old testament puts the fear of god in you, but Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory puts the fear of chocolate in you.

[@lizzyblitz07]

@@robonator2945 I'm not OP but I get you. Counterpoint though, the kids in Willy Wonka that get traumatized do something to bring that on. Demanding things out of entitlement is the cause for most of them. You could argue the punishments are severe for a kid for sure, but the point is they screw around and find out. No one is terrorizing them at the literal *entrance.* They're also older than the mostly toddlers you see in every video of this event, but it's not like the organizers set an age suggestion so that's less relevant from your POV.

[@Joe90h]

Roald Dahl was an odd man, who kind of hated being an adult but who also hated the entitlement he felt some children had. I feel like both Charlie and Wonka are self inserts for him in the book, as Wonka represents an exagerated version of himself who makes impossible candy instead of writing books, and Charlie is the inner child that he wishes to reconnect with. He also was extremely anti-semitic, which is a shame. And there's no getting around how the Oompa Lumpas are definitely an uncomfortable stand in for black slaves.

​@ville__ i hate that but thats really good sanskrit btw

[@davidmart101]

To be honest this looked more like a chocolate meth experiment disguised as a willy wonka experience

[@misshimejoshi]

Walter white filled in the role for Wonka 😭

[@Angelface11]

Have you ever seen the movie Willy Wonka? The original is basically like a meth experiment

[@MoonWielder]

Imagine if Hank discovered that Willy Wonka was the REAL mastermind behind the drug empire

[@MarieWilson-wp1mu]

I knew I was going to find a Breaking Bad comment in here as soon as I saw that picture of a Oompa Loompa in a meth-looking lab 🤣

[@pipthetsundere]

Omg I can't wait for the Breaking Bad reboot now, but with Willy Wonka

[@richryantaylor]

WE NEED TO COOK, WILLY.

@BollywoodNewzz Reporting you and your incessant spamming

[@averybaravik7213]

Im starting to wonder if there even WAS an event organizer. The script, the website, and even the apology were ALL AI.

[@The73MPL4R]

I choose to believe The Unknown was just some guy who showed up on set and they just decided to work around him

[@Cinna-PRECURED]

I dont think any of the interviews had mentioned talking to the unknown anyway. Did that one interview with smoky Oompa Loompa lady say that “When he showed up, all of our hearts sank”? Or something along those lines?

[@dollface465]

i'm pretty sure they made a tiktok talking about their experience!! i've seen them commenting on a bunch of the edits

[@morgan82303]

my headcanon is that the warehouse they were in is a scare attraction around halloween (like a fear fest type thing) and the unknown was one of the scare actors who saw cars in the parking lot and thought they were starting early this year

[@cridly]

she's a teenage girl and this was her first acting gig.

[@nico-pf4jn]

@ville__I got a pacemaker mf you cannot curse mw

[@nutellie_was_here]

that bouncy castle is something straight out of dashcon my god

[@adeer87]

I wonder if anyone peed in it

[@Fluff_Noodles]

​@@adeer87 They might've after seeing The Unknown 💀

[@chocomelo454]

All it needs is a ballpit.

[@narlie2974]

after 10 years dashcon is back i cant wait to see what crazy event happens in 2034

[@saferoundhouse5910]

I have found my people
