Brian, That is no test. That is reality. New rider switch passes were rolled out across the resort about a month ago. It also seems cast members are being instructed to only give them out to families with someone under the height requirement (for example if the kid is big enough to ride they can't get a rider switch since they can bring the kid through the line). Also only one cast member per attraction can give them out (where as cast members throughout the attraction used to have a stack).
kpjb, At Disney you get a rider switch pass and that enables up to three guests (meant for the person watching the kid who is too short) to return via the FastPass line.
You would be surprised with the number of people who try to use FastPasses from years ago - and they think they can get away with it (despite the passes looking completely different!). Disney has also redesigned the attraction re-entry pass (pass given out if you get stuck on an attraction) to make the expiration date larger and to move it from the bottom of the pass to the center of the pass (with it at the bottom people would just cut the expiration date off). Those new passes are also printed to say what attraction gave them out so in theory abuse of the system can be tracked.
