LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – The Exotic Driving Experience at Walt Disney World Speedway, where a fatal accident occurred over the weekend, will be closed for more than two weeks, according to the company that owns the attraction.
Petty Holdings told Local 6 that the attraction will reopen May 1. The company initially said the attraction would be closed through Wednesday, but it didn't give a reason for the extension.
The Exotic Driving Experience allows people to get behind the wheel of high-performance luxury cars and drive around the track at high speeds.
Gary Terry, a senior operations manager, driving instructor at the attraction and passenger in the car, died in the Sunday crash, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. A Lamborghini driven by a customer was traveling 100 mph at the time of the wreck, troopers said. The driver suffered minor injuries.
The crash remains under investigation.
The Richard Petty Driving Experience, which is also operated at the Walt Disney World Speedway, will reopen Monday. The Petty Experience allows drivers to race in NASCAR cars.
Disney recently announced plans to close the track in August to make improvements to its parking lot.
