Minecraft World
Upcoming theme park in the UK
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Minecraft World is an upcoming attraction at Chessington World of Adventures, a theme park in Chessington, Greater London, England. The attraction is themed around the sandbox video game Minecraft, and is scheduled to open in 2027 at an estimated cost of £50 million. It is being developed by Minecraft's creator Mojang Studios and Merlin Entertainments.[1] Minecraft World is planned to have a rollercoaster, interactive exhibitions, play areas, eating places and shops.[1][2][3] It is the first Minecraft-themed theme park.[3]
Development
Mojang and Merlin first began planning the attraction in about 2018,[1] and in 2024 the two companies signed an £85 million deal to develop Minecraft attractions in the United Kingdom and United States.[4] The UK park is replacing the Wild Asia area at Chessingon[5] and is being developed with the help of a few Minecraft content creators.[2] Plans for the area and the location of it were announced to the public in the March 2026 Minecraft Live.[2][5] Plans for the previously-announced US theme park have not yet been announced.[1]
