A Minecraft attraction is due to open at UK theme park Chessington World of Adventures next year, the game's makers have announced. Concept images of the £50m Minecraft World project show plans for a rollercoaster, dining areas and interactive exhibits inspired by the video game. Merlin Entertainments, which also owns Alton Towers and Thorpe Park, said it chose Chessington, about 30 minutes outside London, to cater to international and local visitors.

The company did not give new details on a US version of Minecraft World previously announced as part of the deal.
