It's in final does that mean we are going to hear something soon about the fall DLC?

That could also mean that we hear something in 2 weeks. When it said final trunk in the past, that usually meant they were in the finals,but it still needed a week or so till release. Is there already a new dlc registered?

no dlc registered. vintage is the last one shown. No “unknown dlc”...yet
I wouldn´t mind if they actually didn´t come with DLC but with QoL update. Such an update would (I dare to say) make EVERYONE happy (if done right, ofcourse).

From the Support FAQ;
Over the last year there was a new DLC roughly every 3 months. Half October marks the end of the 3 months since the Vintage Pack DLC...
What leak? This is just an announcement as always.
Reading between the line it appears that there is another DLC/expansion coming in the meantime, which will most likely be announced as always 1-2 weeks before release.

Steam dB info is publicly published. Everything else is just speculation based on past releases.
The 2 year release anniversary is mid-Nov, perhaps then, I still think we'll get a DLC before then too, early Oct would be nice.
They have said in the Toolkit FAQ that there is no announcement of any DLC or plans for future ones... and that the Thememaker files will appear "in the next update" but the tool won't be available until a "future update" (presumably the anniversary one), which suggests that there is an update imminent.
So.. I THINK the introduction of the toolkit may be putting an end to content related DLCs in favour of game changing ones or larger expansions instead. It seems that the introduction of the toolkit is to place the content creating bit in the hands of the players as we can, en-mass churn out new content much quicker than they can, so they can focus on the core game, rides or coasters; rather than lovely, shiny new pieces.

I hope we do get one more DLC before the toolkit. Most likely October, but then the anniversary is November, we get two releases a month apart? Yes, with the kit we can now create triggerable, animated items such as more spooky items. But, I want to also see more rides, which is what the kit will be unable to make. So, we still need more ride releases from Frontier. Like a chairlift, larger carousel, walking path for haunted houses (like the huntsman track but people walk on it) and more flats.
