I think they simply go the easiest way. Create updates that are easy to do and keep the feeling they care so much. I must admit this is something I thought they would add after some other stuff. So far, only scenery grouping and staff recolor sounds like what community asked for. These are indeed welcome, although one would expect them from day one. This update seems to not be very focused on content, do maybe they have some QoL this time around. And let's see what is about the dlc.
New update?

In the free update since we are getting vending machines and skill games I'm thinking the new DLC will be a Midway-Carnival type DLC. If Frontier will be doing this type of DLC I would like to see more flat rides ones that you normally would see on a midway. Also adding more carnival type foods like popcorn, corn dogs, lemonade and soft pretzels.

YAAAAAAS!!! Totally called the carnival style games and vending machines..
Just a question as I've not had the chance to watch the stream yet.. is it confirmed that there is also a Paid DLC coming too?

Yes, 100% confirmation a Paid DLC is coming too.
Shut up and take my money already...
I'll bet that it's an expansion to the carnival idea.. Building on the vending and claw machines to include mid-way games...
For anyone who is interested I have uploaded a condensed 5 minute video showing off the screenshots and explaining the new free stuff on the update:

I'm thinking the same thing. We might be getting mid-way games with the next DLC which will come in handy for my boardwalk section of my park.
that would be awesome...as long as they put in some scenery and rides to go with them! [big grin]
Wait carneval like eftelings carnaval festival,which uses a doombuggy ride system. Does this mean we will finally get a doombuggy darkride system for the dlc[haha][haha].
I wonder what they might add as rides,as i am most excited about them if this is really a carnival dlc. i'm not really excited about the scenery,since i don't know where to include this theme. It doesn't really fit my style of parks and is often not present in any theme parks i know[bored].
Sorry to burst your bubble but the carnival theme everybody is talking about (and expecting from the DLC since the crane thing is a clear giveaway) has nothing to do with the "Carnaval" celebration that Eftelings doombuggy ride was based upon.
Carnivals are more like permanent fairgrounds (or "kermis" in Dutch) with lots of small games, eating stalls and tons of unthemed pukerides. It's basically the opposite of a "theme" park like Efteling! [big grin]If Frontier is doing a Carnival DLC they definitely need to add flat rides.
I agree with Serpentrax, I think this will be more of a Midway DLC. More Concessions, Flat Rides, and Games. Maybe even a true Wild Mouse Coaster.

A Midway DLC is more likely. Frontier can do so much with that DLC by adding more food options and more flat rides which everyone been asking for. In the free update they added vending and claw machines which people been asking for. Let's hope they add more flat rides to the line up of Planet Coaster.
If it is a midway/carnival dlc that we're hoping it to be, then I want to see a chairlift, more flat rides, vendors, and midway/arcade games. I have a feeling we might see those singing animatronics in game as well since it fits the theme. With the free update I really hope we get a Gulpee Claw Machine as'well! [big grin]

Actually people have been asking for vending and arcade/ claw machines for awhile now.
Now that you mention it I remember people asking for arcade games indeed. That's a good addition to the game then. But i'm not sure about the rest, still feels like too much rct1 stuff is missing.
I am still hoping for some very handy things and things that make the game less time consuming, but those chances are very slim because we would see some of these in the free update.
Things like fencing tool, easily build roads/parking lots with road markings, improvement to path system, round roofs and more roofs in general, line tool and so on. With a line tool i mean something like a fence tool that can place any scenery item like streetlamps, hedges, pillars evenly with several options. Of course we need a whole lot more custom signs (not in gigantic sizes), fireworks editor improvement and things we never would expect that bring us something new like paint directly on walls with custom re-sizable brushes (based on vector images like flowers, squares, various art shapes), draw lines tool, click on wall and recolor the wall instantly.
I'm very curious to see what the new DLC will be. I'm hoping the DLC will give us a lot of pieces that can be used for several new themes (like chinese, vikings, alps, atlantis, disaster, jurassic, ..).
