"Oompa Loompa doompadee doo, what the hell did I just do?" is what Willy Wonka experience organiser Billy Coull would have been thinking as he was filmed being confronted by a load of angry parents.
Taking place over the weekend was the controversial Willy Wonka experience, which - it is safe to say - did not go to plan.
The £35-per-head event was supposed to based on Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and was scheduled to take place over Saturday and Sunday.

Instead, children left the Glasgow venue in tears while police were also called to the event.
When hundreds of kids attended the venue with their families, they were shocked to walk into an 'abandoned, empty warehouse'.

This comes after event organiser Billy Coull was mobbed by a group of angry customers who accused him of 'robbing' them.
Accompanied by a bouncer, he was filmed attempting to respond to furious parents on Saturday.
Watch the chaos unfold below:
Now, according to images posted online, there were only a few Wonka-themed props, along with a small bouncy castle.

Refreshments-wise it looked like all what was available was a bottle of lemonade split between the entire group.
Not to mention a 'pick n mix' consisting of just five sweets.
One of the actors at the event also claimed she'd been given a script a couple of days before that has since been widely mocked, only to be told to abandon it and 'improvise' on the day.
Addressing the angry mob in the video, Coull claims the reason for the event failure was due to tech isssues.

Responding to a few sweary parents, he said: "We guarantee a full refund from Monday. We used artificial intelligence to create some images for the event."
Speaking to STV, Coull also gave a formal apology to everyone who was affected.

He said: "I’m really shocked that the event had fallen short of the expectations of people on paper.
"My vision of the artistic rendition of a well known book didn’t come to fruition. For that I am absolutely truly and utterly sorry.
"There was every intention to hold the event, from the pictures, despite not being in the best light hopefully you’ll be able to see that there was every intention to hold the event.
"Unfortunately there was unforeseen circumstances and the event didn’t come to light. These issues were technological in nature.
"We had ordered a holographic paper that didn’t arrive on time. The holographic technology in itself is absolutely fabulous technology and unfortunately there was a delay in postage."
