If the number of crates and rebar sections are any indication, this machinery is going to be be busy digging holes for a long time.
Palm trees and diggers line the road into Movie World.
There's no shortage of heavy duty equipment on site for excavation.
Drilling equipment prepares holes for the ride's footings.
Rebar for support footings.
Lots of fairly boring construction work to take place before we start seeing anything exciting like roller coaster track.

The long overdue coat of paint is returning the ride to its correct Superman colours.

It's really quite amazing just how much detail work continues to happen. In Australia we're used to rides being rushed to completion and frequently opening under the guise of "technical rehearsals" or with hyped themed elements or effects simply missing altogether.
Work doesn't stop for weekends. There have been reports of filming of a TVC on site in recent days.
New custom hoardings appear as the hype amplifies.
These custom banners are likely versions of print and billboard ads that have only recently been approved by DC Comics in the USA, which would explain why they have only been put to use at Movie World just now.

Temporary scaffolding for use during the filming of TVCs.
Old meets new with bitumen in place.
Survey pegs are spread throughout the grassy area at the front of Movie World.
Such pegs would be used for correctly placing footings while also avoiding existing infrastructure such as electrical conduits and water/sewage plumbing.
The early stages of groundwork are underway.
