If the next one is set in San Francisco again (which it looks to be), this could be the Disaster replacement.I saw the movie yesterday Dawn of the Planet of The Apes. I must say great movie! Would Translate well into a a jeep ride through the forest or the city.
Those vehicles in the movie would seat about a good 20 people per vehicle if done like a ride 4 rows five people or 5 rows 4 people!
If UNI decided to do a planet of the apes attraction, would hope it goes on Universal side not to interfere with Kong!

A couple of ideas:
I'm a huge fan of the classic ET attraction but realistically creative could retheme or replace it using Spongebob which would be a fairly strong IP. Great for all ages.
The other idea would be a haunted mansion type attraction using Scooby Doo as the main IP and utilize Universal's wide arsenal of movie monsters. A great tribute to pay to the past with a new twist.
I still can't get over a Portal based ride. It lends itself so well to the themed environment...
