Anonymous
Merlin Entertainments and Mojang Studios plan to open Minecraft World, an immersive themed area at Chessington World of Adventures in the UK, in 2027, including the world’s first Minecraft-themed hotel. The four-story hotel will have 69 rooms—20 premium and 49 standard—designed around the game’s biomes, creatures and blocky landscapes, plus an underwater-themed restaurant and a Woodland Mansion-inspired bar. The park land will also feature Escape the Nether, an indoor rollercoaster that takes riders through dark mines and out through a Nether portal, alongside interactive activities, themed dining and retail. The project is a reported £50 million collaboration between the companies.
