Minecraft World Is Coming to Chessington in 2027 and It Sounds Massive
A world first Minecraft land is coming to the UK, with a coaster, interactive adventures and blocky everything.
Merlin Entertainments and Mojang Studios have announced Minecraft World, the world's first fully immersive Minecraft theme park land, and it is coming to Chessington World of Adventures in 2027. That is massive for UK theme parks, genuinely.
The project is a £50 million investment and will be inspired by the game's most famous biomes, mobs and items. Attractions are set to include a world first Minecraft coaster, interactive adventures, block built playscapes, themed food and themed shops. Basically, if you have ever wanted to walk into Minecraft without loading a server, this is the closest thing.
Chessington is only around 35 minutes direct from London Waterloo, which makes this even bigger because it will be easy for loads of families to get to. Minecraft is the best selling video game of all time with about 350 million copies sold, so yep, this is not a little side thing. Fans can follow updates at chessington.com/minecraft.
