    Description

    Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: The Ride was a dark boat ride, based on the famous novel by the same name by Roald Dahl. While the attraction reused the course from its previous incarnations, the boat ride was shortened a bit to fit a Glass Elevator experience into the building. The Glass Elevator used multiple screens and a vibrating floor in a standing environment to simulate movement.
