Mojang Studios and Merlin Leisure are teaming as much as open an official Minecraft theme park, which they’ve appropriately named Minecraft World. Introduced earlier right now through the Minecraft Reside showcase, Minecraft World is tentatively set to open its doorways sooner or later in 2027 and can seemingly be fused with the preexisting Chessington World of Adventures theme park in Higher London. It’ll even have its personal curler coaster
Based on the official assertion on Merlin Leisure’s web site, Minecraft World will price £50 million (simply shy of $70 million) to develop and can function “a world-first Minecraft coaster, themed retail and eating, plus a bunch of fan favourites and ridiculous enjoyable from the Minecraft universe.”
Primarily based on the mock-up pictures in Merlin Leisure’s press release, the theme park remains to be very a lot within the planning part. Minecraft World may even apparently be designed in “collaboration with a collection of iconic Minecraft creators to assist deliver the universe to life in probably the most genuine manner attainable,” though no particular “creators” have been introduced presently.
Minecraft World isn’t the primary online game theme park to open up prior to now decade, because the likes of PokéPark Kanto in Japan and Tremendous Nintendo World in Orlando’s Common Studios opened up prior to now few years. It’s, nevertheless, the primary online game theme park based mostly on an official IP to open up in the UK.
Personally, as somebody from the UK, I’d have a lot slightly most well-liked the Pokémon or Mario theme parks myself, however hey, I’m certain there are tens of 1000’s of Brits who’re thrilled to listen to this information. Gonna be a nightmare driving up the M25 if this coincides with the discharge of the second Minecraft film although.
