The victims, aged 65 and 66, spotted a black Mazda BT-50 dual-cab ute being driven on the wrong side of Melaleuca Drive, the ring road around the entertainment centre, just before 2pm on Monday.
Police said the men approached the ute to correct the driver and as the ute stopped a male passenger got out and pulled out a "home-made" gun.
The armed bandit stole the victims' money and mobile phones before he fled in the ute.
Detectives released CCTV images of the black Mazda BT-50 believed to be involved, which has false Queensland registration plates 699 VYH.
Police have urged people who saw the ute to call triple zero and not approach the vehicle or any occupants.
The ute's armed male passenger was described as Caucasian, about 177 centimetres tall with a medium build, aged between 25 and 35 years old with dark hair.
He was wearing a fluoro shirt, black heavy boots or runners, a black baseball cap and a dark bandana over his face with light grey or white logos in a pattern across it.
The male driver was also possibly Caucasian.
