The first scene features Augustus Gloop coming unstuck.

Here, his mum is none too happy about it!

The next section is the Inventing Room.

A look at some of the scenery in here.

The boat ride ends in the Shrinking Room, which heavily utilises strobe lighting effects.

You move into the inside of a TV, where you see a show featuring the now-shrunken Mike Teavee, his mum, and Willy Wonka.

Part of the Mike Teavee sequence.

The next section is the Elevator pre-show, with instructions from Willy Wonka. From here you move into the finale - the Great Glass Elevator itself.

Inside one of the Great Glass Elevators. You're taken on an immersing 3D journey through the factory, while the lift judders and tilts.
