Merlin Entertainments and Mojang are building a full Minecraft World at Chessington World of Adventures with a dedicated rollercoaster, interactive attractions, block-built play areas and themed food spots in a 50 million pound project.
Minecraft is getting its first official theme park zone. Merlin Entertainments confirmed yesterday that a Minecraft World land will open at Chessington World of Adventures outside London in 2027 as part of a £50 million (around €62.5 million) investment.
The area will include a Minecraft rollercoaster, interactive attractions where visitors can engage with block-style builds, dedicated play spaces constructed to look like they are made from the game’s signature blocks, and restaurants and shops with thematic tie-ins. Mojang is working directly with the team to keep the look and feel authentic to the game.
Big Stakes for Real-World Minecraft
This is not a small pop-up. Merlin calls it one of their most ambitious theme park projects in years. The collaboration suggests Mojang is serious about translating the game’s creative loop into physical spaces that families can visit, ride, and explore.
The announcement arrives as Minecraft continues its quarterly drop cadence and marketplace push. The physical expansion gives creators and players another way to connect with the property outside of servers or Realms. No specific ride details or exact opening date within 2027 have dropped yet, but the scale alone should excite anyone who has spent hundreds of hours building.
Expect more reveals in the coming months as planning progresses. For now the news is simple: Minecraft is coming off the screen and into a theme park near London. If you are in the UK or planning a trip, add Chessington to the list for 2027.
