Wait, Universal Studios is opening a real Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory?

This is awesome *clap clap clap clap clap*

Universal Studios has today announced that Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory will be opening on their Orlando CityWalk, and that's not all… it's going to be an actual restaurant!

Film lovers and movie-goers will no doubt arrive in flocks and droves for the grand opening of this new instalment, The Toothsome Chocolate Factory, which is expected to be open for business later this year. 

Now, although the announcement on Universal Orlando's blog never mentioned an actual chocolate river – or even Oompa Loompas – it did include a taster of what fans can expect from the establishment. 

For those that were expecting a full blown 'chocolate-only' menu you might be shocked to know that there's a bit more variety than first expected.

There will be a selection of seafood, steak, gourmet burgers and much more sold in the restaurant, all with what's been described as "unique twists," so don't get too spooked if you're asked whether or not you want chocolate sauce on your steak when you order…

On a more serious note, check out some of the photos!
