"Concept images of the 50m Minecraft World project show plans for a rollercoaster, dining areas and interactive exhibits inspired by the video game. The company did not give new details on a US version of Minecraft World previously announced as part of the deal."
"First launched on PC in 2011, Minecraft has become one of the best-selling and most-played video games in the world, selling more than 300 million copies. Its popularity on YouTube, which says videos related to the game have been viewed more than one trillion times, helped it to become a cultural phenomenon."
"Kayleen Walters, Head of Mojang Studios, said the company had seen a growing appetite for Minecraft experiences from fans, and this led to the theme park collaboration. 'We know people want more of Minecraft. They want to be immersed in it in different ways,' she said."
A Minecraft-themed attraction is set to open at Chessington World of Adventures in the UK next year. The project includes a rollercoaster, dining areas, and interactive exhibits inspired by the game. Concept images reveal areas modeled after Minecraft's landscapes and creatures, including pigs and Creepers. The attraction aims to cater to both international and local visitors. Mojang Studios has noted a growing demand for immersive Minecraft experiences, leading to this collaboration with Merlin Entertainments, which also owns other major theme parks.
