Overview
- Merlin Entertainments and Mojang announced the Chessington location during Minecraft Live, sharing concept art and a budget of about £50 million.
- The land will include a world‑first Minecraft rollercoaster, interactive adventures, block‑built playscapes, and themed retail and dining.
- Designers are basing the experience on core gameplay features such as biomes, mobs, and items rather than the movies, with portions prototyped inside Minecraft.
- Well‑known creators including Grian, DanTDM, LDShadowLady, and Aimsey are contributing to development to help ensure authenticity.
- The opening is planned for 2027, while the exact date, ticketing details, and the previously teased U.S. location remain unannounced.
