Is the new Test Track really Tron in disguise?

Disney released new renderings of the re-imagined Test Track at Epcot in Disney World, but do the bright lights and futuristic designs make it seem more like “Tron”?

The Test Track closed on April 15 for a new look. Under a new long-term commitment from GM, the Test Track will be highlighting Chevrolet cars .

As part of the makeover, there will be a “Chevrolet Design Center at Epcot” immersing visitors into automotive design. Guests that will buckle into a 6-person “SimCar” ride vehicle and put the design through its paces on the hills, switchbacks and straight-aways of the Test Track circuit. When complete, riders then move to a post-show area filled with special effects and be scored on how well the custom concept vehicle did.

But if you look at the renderings released by Walt Disney Imagineering one can only wonder if the “Tron” designers took over the facility with the light cycle type colors and lines used in the movie.
