It would be great if they started using that entrance again for Gold and Platinum.
It would certainly be less of a cluster fudge than the current ERT cattle gates.
Get to the park 15 minutes after ERT has started, then you have to swim through the regular pass holders and day pass holders. However, it does give you a sense of power walking past all those people just standing there!
Some people get VERY angry when you have to do that. Had a guy grab my arm to ask how all these people were going to Diamondback early, when I told him you have to have a Gold or Platinum pass he started yelling at his wife saying I told you there was a difference. I just slowing started walking away.
