I mean its a german container, Mack is based in germany. But I dont know anything about shipping containers, does the name not mean anything?

Because, as you have said, this is a german container and Mack is a german company (with all of this ride's components being manufactured in Germany), it is safe to assume that its contents are relevant to the new coaster, most likely components for the footings although it could be supports or even track.

Stack of pallets next to the tower track and a container in the car park. Surely not hard to put the two together. I'd be extremely surprised if this is new coaster and not ToT removal related.

It would also be odd for the coaster parts to arrive before any ground work was even started?

Ignore the name on the shipping container, it’s a global shipping company. 
 

There are heaps of valuable parts that Magic Mountain want from TOT. They aren’t going to ship them over piece by piece via Australia Post...

Boneheaded comment of the month.

It might be 'plausible' to assume. You might even stretch to say 'reasonable' to assume (even though, they literally service every populated continent in the world).

But 'safe' to assume a german container is from germany, containing ride parts from a german manufacturer?

Especially since we know that Mack ships rides in Hapag-Lloyd containers because they're cheaper, so its safe to assume that Hamburg-Sud containers won't be used to ship this one.

I now post unequivocal proof that Mack doesn't use Hamburg-Sud containers, and its safe to assume i'm right.

 

 

MFW you know that parks can organise their own shipping anyway.

+  if a shipping container company is short on containers the companies will lease other containers from their competitors to fill the order.

 

You don't go sorry Mr Mack we are short 3 containers so we don't want your business.  No! you call your competitor who you already have an agreement with and say give me 3 of your good ones. 😂

We have a problem.  A SW Triton container has ended up at DW.

Have to say it was a good joke, made do a little chuckle, made me feel good, thanks. 

That's what @AlexBis about.   Making people chuckle.  And Chuck happens to be his middle name. 

 Alex Chuck Blewitt.

Alex's middle name does start with a C, but it isn't Chuck.

Last name does start with a B, but it isn't Blewitt either.

You should stop lying skeet. People will fountain you.

I thought telling the truth was the easiest way to get a fountain around here?

That's a fountain.

Not that this should be a surprise to anyone but the containers don’t contain coaster parts. Who would have thought the coaster parts wouldn’t arrive in two containers before any ground work had been undertaken.

I certainly won’t miss those dozen cool rooms dotting the dreamworld landscape

Agreed. I'll miss Tower of Terror for sure, but the purist within likes the fact this will no longer seperate the park into two halves.

Never understood why they didn’t just lightly dress those drive buildings all those years. 

I miss tower for everything it stood for, also miss what it did for that park, but I don’t miss being made deaf when standing or sitting near the track (or on the train station platform) every time it launched.
