Mack the Transporter brought to life the Cars film experience when it steamed into Uralla over the weekend for a well-earned break while on a trip from Brisbane to Melbourne.
Over the past two years, the life-sized Mack the Transporter has been seen around Australia as part of the Disney-Pixar CARS Truck Tour.
The Australia-wide tour has the Disney-Pixar team up with Mack Trucks Australia and V8 Supercars to provide fans and families with the ultimate Cars experience.
Mack the Transporter made his first public, fully operational appearance, as part of Disney-Pixar CARS Truck Tour, at Sydney’s Mack Dealership, Macquarie Drive, Chipping Norton (Sydney) in 2012.
Mack the Transporter is a full scale replica inspired by the release of Disney-Pixar’s Cars 2 in June 2011 on Disney Digital 3D, the sequel to the Golden Globe-winning 2006 release, Cars.
Mack the Transporter semi-trailer folds out to reveal a whole world of entertainment zones and themed activity stations for the whole family.
From Lightning McQueen’s slot car racing tournament to Mater’s Activity Workshop, Doc Hudson’s Driver Training Track, Ornament Valley photography, Lizzie’s Curio Shop and the ultimate CARS PlayStation Racing Championships – there really is something for all ages!
Released in 2006, Disney-Pixar Cars has become a leading boys’ franchise around the world.
