Get ready to visit IRL Minecraft with two official theme parks announced for US and UK as part of $110 million deal with Merlin Entertainment

Minecraft, the game where you can build anything—even a theme park—is about to make that a reality. Thanks to a $110 million deal with Merlin Entertainment, the beloved block world will soon come to life in actual theme parks. For my kids who’ve spent hours building rollercoasters out of minecarts, they might just get to experience the thrill in real life.

Merlin Entertainment, which owns major theme park destinations worldwide, including Alton Towers and Legoland, will be adding Minecraft-themed expansions to their existing parks in the US and UK.
