Test Track at Walt Disney World's Epcot theme park will temporarily close on June 17. 

Disney and attraction sponsor Chevrolet will retheme Test Track, as announced last fall.

Disney has said the new version of the popular attraction will be influenced by history and the long-defunct World of Motion attraction, which Test Track replaced in 1999.

On Friday, Disney released concept art of the rethemed attraction's entryway, which shows a sleek design and the removal of the large canopy that currently shades the area.

This will be the third iteration of Test Track. 

In the first, guests rode in "test" GM vehicles that went through a number of assessments, like heat and cold tolerance and brake tests. 

In 2012, the Chevrolet-branded version of Test Track opened, wherein guests design virtual cars before boarding "SIM Cars" to test their work. Progress is digitally tracked along the way, and guests can see how their car performed at the end of the attraction.

A hallmark of the attraction is its outdoor loop, where cars reach speeds up to 65 mph before reentering the building.
