First Minecraft park to open in London

The world’s first fully immersive Minecraft theme park is expected to open at Chessington World of Adventures in Greater London next year.

Minecraft World, developed by Merlin Entertainments and Mojang Studios, will bring the game’s most iconic biomes, mobs, and items to life.

The land will feature new Minecraft-themed attractions, including a roller coaster, interactive adventures, block-built playscapes, and themed retail and dining.

“Minecraft World will allow friends and families to play, explore and craft together on a truly epic scale. We are meticulously creating an authentic world that the global community of Minecraft fans will want to immerse themselves in and experience the game in a whole new way,” said Angela Jobson, SVP of Global Brand, Merlin Entertainments.
