Variety are saying $70 million, which works out to around £50 million - https://variety.com/2026/gaming/news/minecraft-world-theme-park-opening-2027-first-look-70-million-1236695555/

I'd imagine that the dark ride will also be ETF Ride Systems if they're also doing the Maximus Blitz Bahn conversion.

Setpoint, I believe

39 inch height requirement and capable of inversions - perhaps?
