Aside from the Mack crates, the site is largely just a cleared expanse awaiting preliminary groundwork.
The company had been rumoured to be the manufacturer of the roller coaster expected in 2017.
The exciting news of course is that wooden crates sporting a Mack Rides logo have shown up at Movie World.
The highlight of the Star Tours for many is the 178 step climb to the 32m peak of Arkham Asylum.
High Country Legends, the third show at Australian Outback Spectacular, debuted in late 2014.
The Waturi Beach wavepool sits in the looming shadows of the Krakatau volcano at the centre of the park.
The monolithic Krakatau volcano forms the central hub of the sprawling water park.
Just like the ancient Waturi people who rode the ocean waves on friendly sea turtles and whales, guests can enjoy these two twisting, turning, multi-person slides. Honu sweeps up two massive walls, while Ika Moana sprays water on riders from the center of the raft.
The lazy river attraction at Volcano Bay.
Track, trains and other components from the Expo 88 monorail were sold to Sea World who operated a smaller but technically identical system.
This ride was a rare example of a Vekoma suspended coaster.
As seen at Expo 88, the ride sits at the eastern end of what is now the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Expo 88's Titan now lives at Wonderla in India, following relocation to Wonderland Sydney and later Alabama Adventure. The first three parks it lived at were all closed for financial reasons.
World Expo Park occupied what is now the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. The Titan roller coaster sits in the eastern (top) corner, Centrifuge in the middle and the indoor coaster Supernova in the large black building at western end of the park.
The monorail glides above what is now Southbank Parklands in Brisbane.
The Titan towers over closing day crowds at Expo 88.
Sixteen years on, the ride's once bold Bryce Canyon (via Disneyland) inspired rock formations have taken on a somewhat grimier appearance.
While the supports are looking bright blue from their recent paint job, the track is noticeably faded still.
The good news is that a small section of track has been repainted during the recent maintenance period as a likely trial for a complete repaint. This is the lowest part of the track, so this work could be completed without any scaffolding or specialist equipment.
Superman Escape will be closed for nearly two months from July 18 to September 14, giving a good lengthy period for such complicated work to take place.
Someone's prayers have been answered...
