While theme park enthusiasts in the UK have eagerly followed news of Universal’s potential plans to open a major park near London – a grand European rival to its Los Angeles and Orlando resorts – that highly anticipated project is still years away. Fortunately, there’s exciting news for 2027, as Chessington World of Adventures is set to unveil a spectacular new attraction.
During the recent Minecraft Live broadcast, it was officially revealed that the British theme park will open a dedicated Minecraft-themed world in 2027. This ambitious venture, reportedly a $50 million project, is described as ‘the next major evolution of the franchise,’ following other expansions like the live-action movie and its upcoming sequel.
Visitors can anticipate an immersive experience within this new land, which will feature a host of new attractions. Highlights include a world-first Minecraft roller coaster, alongside themed shops and restaurants. The area will also bring to life a variety of fan-favorite elements and ‘ridiculous amusements’ directly inspired by the expansive Minecraft universe.
The entire world will be meticulously designed, drawing inspiration from iconic Minecraft biomes, mobs, and items, promising a truly authentic and engaging experience for fans.
