You are absolutely right, that Universal doesn't need to use any Lionsgate IPs(They also didn't need to use Harry Potter). But in this hypothetical 3rd park they very well have the possibility to use them. Alternatively if your very set on not using any Lionsgate IPs at all just like Marvel Superhero Island Universal could make attractions not based on the film, but the property itself since Power Rangers have had many different iterations.

Let me rephrase that. They (NBCUniversal) can't use any of Lionsgate's IPs because they don't have a rhyme and reason to. Neither side does. Universal also have a rhyme and reason to bring back the original PR either.

Eh ya Universal at this point doesn't really need the Power Rangers IP or any other Lionsgate one but once again in this hypothetical 3rd park there could be the possibility of that happening.

Why do you think that Universal's 4th (technically the third gate is Volcano Bay) is going to have more movie based attractions. They already have that Studios and to some degree, IoA.

To brainstorm a third park in terms of what IPs it would feature is bad. Very bad. And this is the imagineering forum?! Good lord... you all should know better.
A good park is founded on theme. What will be the theme of the third gate? Islands of Adventure was all books/literature whereas Universal Studios was all movies, but that already-weak distinction no longer holds true. A third park with no unique theme would be bad, very bad. Imagine if all four Disney parks had the same theme? I know, scary thought.
Universal needs to come up with something. Some theme. I think that's worth discussing... not what IPs they would use.

Well the original prompt was to come up with new IP's we'd like to see and Power Rangers is an IP I'd like to see in the park. Although it'd be really neat for Universal to make a park that doesn't rely on movies maybe we could get some other video game IP's other than Nintendo like Assassins Creed or Overwatch!

Lionsgate doesn't own Power Rangers, but Saban owns Power Rangers so Universal would get the 2017 film rights as a attraction by Saban.

Technically Lionsgate did make PR 2017 with Saban. And as with the case of Lionsgate, Universal could but hasn't for one reason or another.
Let's pick a theme for the park first. What about an animation and video game theme?

Why not a Universal Studios in Queensland Australia?
No I mean one completely focused on digital animation. So Dreamworks and Nintendo mostly.

So video games. Yeah but I think we should just focus on Dreamworks and Nintendo since those are the materials Universal has to work with.
Let's do it!
