Microsoft-owned "Minecraft" maker Mojang Studios and theme park giant Merlin Entertainments have announced a $70 million project to open at Chessington World Adventures in the UK in 2027. The attraction will mark the first-ever theme park based on the popular building video game. The park will feature new Minecraft-themed attractions, including a world first coaster, interactive adventures, epic block built playscapes, themed retail and dining. The announcement was made during the Minecraft LIVE presentation. The companies clarified that Minecraft World will not be a theme-park adaptation of "A Minecraft Movie" or its upcoming sequel, but will be based on how players play the game.
