.....and precisely WHY would these rides be axed?  Is there some reason
why they would not receive Board approval?  I certainly can't think of any
such reason.  First of all, those rides are existing rides, and hence
could be approved by the special sanctioning director, given 180 days
notice, without board approval.  Any such ride would only need board
approval for its first two years.  Second, such a ruling would not take
effect until the new ride season, and could not conceivably be made to
apply to any ride that is already sanctioned.  Third, the board meets in
August, so even for a ride that is not yet sanctioned for next year,
unless it is held prior to late February, it still has ample lead time to
apply for special sanctioning.
I have no particular opinion as to whether or not this would be a good
rule, although it would seem fair that all of the Pioneer rides be
administered under the same set of rules.  However, I sure can't see where
all the hysteria is coming from...
