I had spotted that too. Was hoping for TT tee (without ears on it) and a vehicle model.

Is there any actual Test Track merch in the gift shop? All I saw were stuff for GM's cars and Lightning McQueen.

Oh ok. Well. Out of context, it was a bit cringe.

Got to ride this with my entire party of 11 last Friday (thanks to WDW & Epcot management for the special moment) getting two cars entirely to ourselves! In my opinion, 1.0 is still the best version. It's what the track layout was designed for, made the most sense throughout, and was cleverly written. 2.0 was really meh, though I liked the glowy visuals. As for 3.0, it is definitely an improvement, though again, it's being shoehorned into the track layout for 1.0, which results in some random "smart road" thing, and then the driving through the forest part, which was nice (I guess), but it serves no real purpose. Should have brought the Sea Serpent back in some capacity. The future city screen at the end is great, and the doors being open didn't distract from it as much as I thought. The speed part still rocks, though I felt like ALL the elevation changes throughout the ride were really rough, and I didn't remember that from the past (though it's been over 10 years since I rode 2.0). The adults in my family were not impressed by it, but we were really big fans of 1.0 (and John Michael Higgins!). The kids (ages 8, 7, 5, and 3) were terrified at times (the 3 yr old, who barely hit 40 inches right before the trip, was terrified the entire time), but the 5 yr old declared it his favorite ride of the trip and the other two "loved it" afterwards. Again, I really want to shout out WDW & Epcot management for making it possible for us to ride this early, despite having no "special privileges" like DVC or AP or Cast Member connections. Definitely the most "gruntled" I've felt about things in a long, long time.

They should have given PATF a new ride and if they needed to retheme SM done it without an IP maybe themed to the old West to fit with its next door neighbor.

5 here! It feels like the classic Test Track, in the sense it’s comparable to Tower of Terror and Expedition Everest as instant classics. That “era” of E-tickets was filled with such high quality when they tried, and it seems they’ve returned to it. 2.0 was laughably bad. 😂 Come to think of it, whoever did Tiana’s Bayou Adventure needs to be fired. PATF was the PERFECT IP to replace Splash with, and the preschool story of finding the missing ingredient they came up with looks even worse when you have Test Track’s team delivering an outstanding product.

There's a very noticeable drop off in popularity after the top 5 (CR, TT, Soarin, FEA, RRA) for every other ride in the park. If Disney gave these rides the updates they needed, I don't think the popularity drop off would be as bad as it is now.
