The Great Glass Elevator is the most efficient transport system operating within the Wonka Chocolate Factory. It is an invention of Willy Wonka, but unlike most of his inventions, it is not made of candy. It travels to every room in the factory and can take you "up and down, sideways, slant ways, and any other way you can think of." It also has rocket boosters that allow it to fly.
