Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift Confirmed & Disney’s Major DAS U-Turn | Orlando Weekly [Jan 26, 2026]

Universal’s finally confirmed Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift, and it’s a brand-new ride being built from scratch, not some lazy refresh. We’re also diving into Disney’s sudden reversal on their Disability Access Service (DAS) rules after a bit of shareholder pressure.

• Hollywood Drift: Universal’s 360-degree spinning coaster is officially a go for 2027.
• The DAS U-Turn: Why Disney blinked on their controversial disability access changes.
• Buzz Lightyear’s Facelift: Big changes coming to Tomorrowland as the signs come down.
