The Chessington World of Adventures Park, the largest theme park in Great Britain covering 52 hectares, about twenty kilometers from the center of London, is owned by Merlin Entertainments. The opening of this space, inspired by the settings, creatures, and iconic objects of the world’s best-selling game, will take place in 2027, they said, without further details on the exact date.
57 million euros “Minecraft World represents an important step in our desire to expand the Minecraft universe,” by creating “a place where you can literally enter the Overworld (a dimension of the game) and live your own adventure with family or friends,” said Torfi Frans ólafsson, the game’s chief creative officer.
The design of “Minecraft World” cost around 57 million euros. Attractions are also set to open in the United States in 2027, as announced by Merlin Entertainments in 2024. The game Minecraft, created in 2009, was born from the imagination of the Swede Markus “Notch” Persson. With over 350 million copies sold by April 2025, it remains the best-selling video game in history. An adaptation released in 2025, “Minecraft, the movie,” was a phenomenal success worldwide, attracting over 2.5 million viewers in France.
