Walt Disney Imagineering has filed a second permit for the reimagining of EPCOT's Test Track at Walt Disney World.
Similar to the first permit filed earlier this month, this latest permit is assigned to long-time Disney vendor Jon Richards Company FL, Inc.
The permit carries the description of "Install Set Elements," and does not opt to extend the standard 12-month expiration date.
In recent weeks, set pieces from the previous version of Track Track have been removed from the building.
Test Track closed at the end of operations on Sunday June 16, and walls are up to block the entrance to the pavilion. GM vehicles that were previously displayed in the post-show are now on display in front of the building.
Disney has not yet announced a reopening date for the next-generation Test Track attraction, but best estimates suggest that it will be closed for at least a year.
In this piece of concept art for Test Track 3.0, we see the new entrance marquee revealing a more sleek arrival area.
Disney previously announced that Imagineers, along with teams from Chevrolet, are reaching back into history for inspiration – from the original World of Motion – and bringing that spirit of optimism to the next iteration of the Test Track attraction at EPCOT.
Version 2.0 of Test Track opened in December 2012, and as part of Chevrolet's sponsorship deal with Disney, the attraction became due for a refresh.
