Overview
- The Halloween event ran last weekend at the SEC with a billed mix of a ghost train, silent disco, bouncy castle, laser tag and a pumpkin patch, with tickets around £16 for children and £26 or more for adults.
- Attendees shared videos showing minimal decorations, extra charges at stalls and waits of 20 to 45 minutes for activities, with the ghost train described as lasting only seconds.
- Multiple TikTok reviewers dubbed the show “Willy Wonka 2.0,” referencing last year’s infamous Glasgow event.
- Organiser Fan Frontier acknowledged opening-day operational problems, said many issues were fixed that evening and by the next day, and stated it is reviewing feedback with suppliers.
- Some visitors said their children enjoyed parts of the experience, though others reported leaving early, requesting refunds and advising families to avoid it.
