    Doesn’t sound much worse than the Avengers experience that came to my city. It was like $30 for a 10 minute walkabout of a big room with the avenger costumes and a bunch of costumes, I felt ripped off

      I get the feeling that most of these "experience’ things I’ve been hearing about lately are low effort cash grabs.

        The Harry Potter one back in the day that I think gave these a kickstart was honestly comparable to most museums I’ve been to, tho obviously smaller and not as interesting, they did have the actual props and costumes there from filming tho which was dope.

    I know people don’t read articles, but at least scroll down to the picture of “an Oompa Loompa running a meth lab”

        Speaking to MailOnline, she confirmed that not only had she not been paid she also hadn’t been briefed on what her role would involve. She explained: ‘I was angry at the time because I felt like this is embarrassing for me, and I felt bad for the people coming in as well. I actually ended up shouting at the guy. I just said to him he’s a joke and this is like embarrassing, and how can we basically live with himself, doing this to people. This is really embarrassing for me. My job is teaching kids yoga and I go into schools and stuff and I do kids’ entertainment. This is none of our faults at all. We got the job and then we got given the script. By that point I’d signed a contract and they said they were going to put us £500 for the two days which is a lot of money which is a lot of money to say no to.’

    The best part about this event was the new Wonka lore of The Unknown, an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls
