Coull was the organiser of the Willy Wonka Experience in which families forked out £35 a ticket earlier this year at a warehouse in the city's Whiteinch.
The event which went viral on social media was described as disastrous, ill-prepared and shoddy.
Coull was forced to shut the event down amid claims that the event left children in tears.
Coull was granted bail by Sheriff Gerard Bonnar and committed for further examination after appearing in the dock.
His next court date for these matters is to be determined.
