Really late chiming in, I know....

When I got to the park, my Platinum Pass gave me grief AGAIN because it's Canadian and won't read on their system. I was annoyed because I had to sit around for twenty minutes which reduced my time from like an hour and fourty minutes down to an hour and twenty. Finally I got in and headed to Silver Bullet which was a walkon.
You are not alone.
Knott's runs on their own season pass system, completely separate from the rest of Cedar Fair's Paramount Admissions system. It only leads to heartache and grief.
That means all Platinum Passes from other parks must wait it out for a proper ticket in. The "official" reason is that the system is used across the various Soak City waterparks as well, and would cause too much interruption to switch over. AKA It would cost plenty of money.
I'd be lying to you if I told you during my time at Guest Services at CP we did not get a barrage of calls from Knott's to verify Platinum Pass holders. A very convoluted system that would be nice to change.
