The first Intamin supports for the multi dimension coaster at Chessington World of Adventures have risen this week marking a clear milestone for the ambitious Minecraft themed land set to open in 2027.
The Minecraft roller coaster at Chessington World of Adventures has officially gone vertical. On April 18 images began circulating showing the first Intamin supports installed at the future site of Minecraft World. This marks the most visible progress yet on the multi million pound project that will bring an entire themed land to the UK park in 2027.

According to detailed tracking from Attractions Source the supports arrived on site earlier in the week and were erected quickly. Additional work continues on foundations and concrete slabs for nearby buildings. More coaster components are expected to follow in the coming weeks turning the currently flat site into a recognizable ride structure.

The coaster forms the centerpiece of Minecraft World which will also feature interactive adventures block built playscapes and the largest Minecraft shop in the world. Concept art released earlier this year showed a vibrant colorful ride weaving through pixelated landscapes and mob filled environments. Seeing physical steel rise makes those plans feel far more tangible.
Reactions online have been largely positive with many noting how quickly the site is transforming. Theme park watchers and Minecraft creators have shared the updates widely blending excitement for the ride experience with speculation about how faithfully it will capture the game aesthetic. The installation comes at a time when Minecraft continues expanding beyond screens into physical locations.
Merlin Entertainments and Mojang Studios first announced Minecraft World last year as a major step for the franchise. While full details on ride mechanics and theming remain under wraps the steady pace of construction suggests the team is on track for the 2027 debut. Further updates are likely as additional track pieces and theming elements arrive.
