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.
