A ‘Minecraft’ Theme Park Is in the Works

Merlin Entertainments and Mojang Studios are going to need a ton of solid blocks for this one.

Together, the companies are building a Minecraft theme park, a $70 million construction project set to open in 2027 at Chessington World of Adventures in Greater London. Minecraft World will feature Minecraft-themed attractions, including a roller coaster, interactive adventures, block-built playscapes and, of course, themed retail and dining.

A “selection of iconic Minecraft creators” will consult on the build, the companies said on Saturday during the Minecraft Live event.
