Minecraft World – New for 2027
21st March 2026
Minecraft World – New for 2027 launches into the spotlight today, as Merlin Entertainments and Mojang Studios reveal an ambitious new land for Chessington World of Adventures. Opening in 2027, Minecraft World will bring the world’s best-selling video game into a theme park setting for the very first time.
As excitement builds, this £50 million project sets a new benchmark for the resort. Not only does it promise scale, but it also introduces a completely fresh concept for UK theme parks. Moreover, the land will stand as the world’s first fully immersive Minecraft experience.
Drawing directly from the game, Minecraft World takes inspiration from iconic biomes, mobs and items. Guests will explore blocky landscapes, face familiar creatures, and interact with the environment in hands-on ways. As a result, the land aims to capture the creativity and freedom that define Minecraft.
At the centre of the action, a world-first roller coaster will deliver a headline attraction packed with thrills. Meanwhile, interactive adventures will encourage guests to build, explore and discover. In addition, large-scale playscapes will offer younger visitors plenty of space to climb, create and imagine.
Beyond the attractions, the experience continues with themed shops and dining locations. Guests can refuel with immersive food options and browse a range of Minecraft-inspired merchandise. Consequently, every part of the land works together to create a cohesive and engaging world.
Furthermore, Merlin Entertainments and Mojang Studios have worked closely throughout development. Their long-standing partnership ensures every detail feels authentic to the Minecraft universe. Therefore, fans can expect a land that fully reflects the spirit of the game.
Ultimately, Minecraft World – New for 2027 marks a bold step forward for Chessington. As development progresses, anticipation will only continue to grow for this groundbreaking new addition. Follow the latest updates over on our Projects Portal.
