We know the UK one is at Chessington World of Adventures, but what parks does Merlin own in the US other than Legoland? This wouldn't make sense there.

Also struggling to find another US park they own. They might genuinely just be putting this in Legoland…?

Why wouldn't Minecraft, a game that's ostensibly about building stuff, fit into a park that is themed to building stuff? Minecraft and Lego have already partnered on sets in the past.

Fair enough. I'm guessing it'll go to Legoland New York then. Both Florida and California are getting major additions next year and I'm guessing that the attractions will be clones of what Chessington is getting (Intamin multi-dimension, flat rides, and something else potentially).

I wonder if it will fit into an existing resort like Peppa Pig Park and Sealife has for Legoland Fl. Separate admission and IP, but using expansion space and parking from an existing Legoland.

That one is actually kinda interesting. Because Lego and Peppa are distinct and competing toy companies, no Lego branding can cross the boundary of Peppa Pig and vice versa. Kinda Romeo and Juliet-y for those employees haha.
