What Would A Minecraft Theme Park Experience Look Like?

The Minecraft experience would incorporate real world experiences and interactive features from the Minecraft world.

According to Merlin, this will include the development of a Minecraft themed “accommodation, retail, and food & beverage, alongside exciting experiences, including a Minecraft-themed ride, at Merlin locations” in the US and UK. This development would also unlock real world “touchpoints” that can be accessed to unlock actual in-game content.

The creative collaboration of these reality experiences between Merlin Magic Making and Mojang Studios promises to “ensure authenticity” in all its features.

This is an exciting development for Minecraft fans! While it is unknown just yet where the US experience would be located, Orlando would be a good choice to further expand their offerings in that area.
