Did you hear the news? Minecraft, the beloved computer game where you can build anything your heart desires out of virtual blocks, is making its way into the real world. Exciting, right? The makers of Minecraft, Monjang, have teamed up with Merlin Entertainments, the operators of popular theme parks like Alton Towers and Legoland, to create two Minecraft-inspired attractions in the UK and the US. And let me tell you, these parks are going to be epic.
But before you get too carried away, let me clarify one thing – the TNT and creepy monster, Creeper, shown in the concept images are not real. Can you imagine the chaos if they were? But don't worry, there will be plenty of fun and unique experiences to be had at these parks, from themed accommodations and shops to a one-of-a-kind Minecraft ride.
One of the images even shows a Minecraft village with the iconic character, Steve, sitting by a campfire with farm animals and a play area for children. And in another image, people can be seen petting blocky animals among beautiful cherry blossom trees inside an indoor bar area. How cool is that?
Merlin Entertainments' CEO, Scott O'Neil, expressed his excitement for this world-first attraction, stating that Minecraft is the best-selling video game of all time. And with Microsoft, who acquired Monjang 10 years ago, on board, the possibilities are endless. They are the perfect partners to bring Minecraft to life in permanent locations around the world.
With the pandemic and rising living costs causing some theme parks to struggle, it's refreshing to see Merlin taking a proactive approach by teaming up with Minecraft. With a massive fan base of 140,000,000 monthly players, this collaboration is sure to keep family attractions thriving. And if that wasn't enough, a Minecraft film starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black is set to be released in April, along with an animated Netflix series based on the game. The excitement just keeps on coming!
So, mark your calendars for 2026 and 2027 because that's when these incredible Minecraft-themed attractions will open their doors. Who knows, maybe you'll even spot someone dressed up as Steve while you're there. Just remember, the TNT and Creeper are not real, but the fun and adventure certainly will be. Get ready to experience Minecraft like never before – in the real world.
