Have you ever wondered, “What would a Virgo do at Universal Islands of Adventure?” What about Leos or Capricorns? Well, we’ve got you. Here’s a special guide featuring the best attractions, food options and photo ops for each zodiac sign so you can enjoy an epic day at the theme park.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Must-Do Attraction: The Incredible Hulk Coaster
Your Favorite Food Item: Jumbo Pepperoni Slice – Café 4
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Flexing those muscles in front of the Hulk!
I like to describe Aries folks as lizards turned dinosaurs — similar to anyone we know? So, what better ride to describe you than The Incredible Hulk Coaster — zero to one hundred, am I right? You too are bold, passionate and driven! After you get off the attraction, satisfy a jumbo appetite with a jumbo pepperoni or cheese slice of pizza, the perfect “snack” for a Hulk.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Must-Do Attraction: Skull Island: Reign of Kong
Your Favorite Food Item: Turkey Leg – food carts around the theme parks
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Leaning back against any wall, eating that turkey leg
Oh Taurus… you are stubborn like Kong and can most likely be found eating. You are known for your tenacious, down-to-earth, and steadfast nature. Some might argue that you’re lazy, but I’d claim that your priorities are in check; so I guess who’s to say?! Hop on a jungle expedition perfect for your Kong-like nature — facing your fears, preferably while seated.
If seeing your ole’ furry bestie fighting dinos gave you an appetite, go ahead and satisfy that craving by getting that food moment you’ve been waiting for.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Must-Do Attraction: Hogwarts Express
Your Favorite Food Item: Frozen Butterbeer at Hog’s Head and Regular Butterbeer at Three Broomsticks
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Snapping two photos — one in front of Hogsmeade Station AND one in front of King’s Cross Station.
You know what, Geminis get a bad rap, but you all are the most adaptable, fun, and witty people in the zodiac family! Add some excitement by hopping aboard the Hogwarts Express which showcases the two sides of you. (Why pick between The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Diagon Alley and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Hogsmeade when you can have both?) Be sure to try out a frozen Butterbeer in the Hog’s Head before heading to King’s Cross Station. Then, grab a Regular Butterbeer at Three Broomsticks as soon as you exit Hogsmeade station — the sheer duality of this has you written all over it! Remember, it’s all about the versatility, so bonus points to those of you who can clone yourself in your photos!
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Must-Do Attraction: Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges
Your Favorite Food Item: Dole Whip Pineapple Sorbet – Wimpy’s
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Say cheese! with a Dole Whip
This attraction is family-friendly, fun, and will leave you borderline soaked like you just swam in the ocean. Sounds like you, huh? Nurturing, compassionate, and protective! Finish out with a taste of the ocean, a sweet Dole Whip Pineapple Sorbet while you dry off. *Crab walks away*
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Must-Do Attraction: Jurassic World VelociCoaster
Your Favorite Food Item: Prehistoric Raptor Wings – Thunder Falls Terrace
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: A brave pose in front of VelociCoaster
Leos, you know I had to choose our center-of-attention attraction for the center-of-attention zodiac. Just kidding! You light up the room when you enter it, and you are vibrant, charismatic, and ambitious — just like the thrills of our VelociCoaster. Snap a pic showing your might in front of the track and then grab a T-Rex sipper to finish off your adventure.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Must-Do Attraction: Storm Force Accelatron
Your Favorite Food Item: Ice Cream Float – Chill Ice Cream
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Marvel Character Meet and Greet
Virgos, you love to be in control, and we love you for it! You’re hardworking, reliable, and the perfect candidate to be in charge for a spin on Storm Force Accelatron. Grab onto the wheel of the ride with the same steady hand and focused energy that you use to grab onto the wheel of life! After leading your group through a raucous good time, reward yourself with an Ice Cream Float; on the way over you can point out all the little details your sharp, Virgo eye catches throughout Marvel Super Hero Island.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Must-Do Attraction: Flight of Hippogriff
Your Favorite Food Item: Pumpkin Fizz – Three Broomsticks
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Wand at the ready in Hogsmeade
The peacemakers, the kindred spirits, the charmers! How you all just glide through environments like butterflies is beyond me, but it’s truly magical. Grab a pumpkin fizz to match the zest you add to life, and be sure to hop on Flight of Hippogriff, where you can embark on this majestic creature — it feels fitting to a majestic being like yourself. As the sign of peacemakers, throw up a peace sign in Hogsmeade, you flirty hippies!
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Must-Do Attraction: Jurassic Park River Adventure
Your Favorite Food Item: Dulce de Leche Churro — Natural Selections
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Getting soaked by a wave of water in the Thunder Falls Terrace splash zone.
You know the T.rex that surprises you at the end of the Jurassic Park River Adventure? Well, he’s obviously a Scorpio. Let me elaborate: Scorpios are known for their mystery, protectiveness and enigmatic nature — the calm before the storm. (Or should I say, the calming river adventure that turns into an 85-foot drop and a roaring T.rex?) Enjoy a churro from Natural Selections or a signature key lime cheesecake from Thunder Falls Terrace before getting a picture under the splash of water from when the raft plunges.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Must-Do Attraction: The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man
Your Favorite Food Item: Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich — Captain America Diner
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Web slinging pose in Marvel Super Hero Island
Who’s more down for an adventure than a Sagittarius? Known for your outspoken, ambitious, and magnetic nature, you are perfectly fit to hop on an adventure of a lifetime with Spider-Man and friends. Fuel your spirit on some ramen to prepare for some more wandering. Shoot your best web slinging pose in front of the building in Marvel Super Hero Island to showcase where this Sagittarius is on their journey! You never know where a Sag could be swinging to next…
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Must-Do Attraction: Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
Your Favorite Food Item: Chocolate Frog – Honeydukes
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Holding up your wand to the Hogwarts castle
Regal just like the famous Hogwarts castle! True royalty if I must say myself (or Capricorns would like you to believe.) You all are known for your perseverance, success-driven mindset and practical nature. Embark with Harry Potter and friends into the Hogwarts castle, going through the halls and classrooms. Take a well earned break at Honeydukes and pick up a chocolate frog. You all know it’s okay to relax, right? Complete the moment by taking a shot in front of the castle in your Hogwarts gear to be sure to capture the very essence of Capricorn’s academic aesthetic.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Must-Do Attraction: Caro-Seuss-el
Your Favorite Food Item: Green Eggs & Ham Tots – Green Eggs & Ham Cafe
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Taking a picture in front of the Truffula Trees
You are creative, fun, and weird, so embrace it! What better place is there to let it out then on the Caro-Seuss-el? After you’ve made yourself dizzy on the ride, be sure to grab a bite on over at the Green Eggs & Ham Cafe, where green eggs are not unorthodox, and you can be in your element. Finish up by snapping a pic underneath the Truffula Trees — all the colors and swirls truly make for the perfect Aquarius photo op.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Must-Do Attraction: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
Your Favorite Food Item: Moose Juice – Moose Juice, Goose Juice
The Photo Op You Can’t Miss: Make a “fish face” beneath the one that shoots out water
Fish… straightforward enough? First of all, this ride is cool just like you — sensitive, imaginative and artistic! And because you’re fun (with an ounce of mischief), I know your favorite thing to do when riding with family and friends is to purposefully aim your fish vehicle into the waterspouts to get them wet! That’s the little daredevil inside of you that not many people see *manic laughter.* After your ride, grab a refreshing Moose Juice. Be sure to snap a picture underneath the waterspout with the both of you soaking wet to commemorate the moment!
