The news we were all fully expecting, Merlin has today confirmed that a Minecraft land will come to the UK and the USA between 2026 and 2027!
it’s very much expected that this will be coming to Chessington with the planning permission underway at the moment!
Merlin will be investing in excess of £85 million ($110 million) in the first two attractions, which will be launching in the US and the UK between 2026 and 2027. This will include the development of first-of-its-kind concepts for Minecraft-themed guest accommodation, retail, and food & beverage, alongside exciting experiences – including a Minecraft-themed ride – at Merlin locations in these two countries. Longer-term, Merlin will expand these experiences to other destinations globally.
