I feel rather silly asking this, but its an observation that has me bugged.

I went for closing day yesterday and rode Vortex a few times. I noticed this ( and have noticed before ) that the little shed near the lift hill, which I will assume is the motor housing ( correct me if I am wrong ) had the doors open with a fan facing outward as if to draw out heat like an exhaust fan.

I didn't feel it was particuarly hot out yesterday. It was a lot warmer than I had expected, but definitely not hot enough for me to think that would be necessary...then again I may not entirely know what is going on there? As I had mentioned I had seen this done before on really hot days...but wasn't 100% sure why.

So here I am with my dumb question for the day

Some things like exhaust or cooling fans, come on and stay on regardless of the temperature as long as the machinery is running.

I think it is the (air) compressor shed for the pneumatic brakes. I would guess the shed leaks and they are trying to dry things out prior to shutting everything down. Just a guess.

The smaller section contains the air compressor for the ride and the larger section is nothing but storage and breaker panels.

That building is there because Vortex is sinking.

Thank you
