Ducks a priority? I hope not. I disagree with this list. They need to work on gameplay and management. Planet Coaster is a beautiful sandbox but that's all it is. It doesn't need more sandbox elements as much as it needs true gameplay mechanics. I feel the "game" part of planet coaster is unfinished and desperately needs work.
Next big update?

The duck part was just a joke even though I would actually love to see them, but everything else on the list we need. [rolleyes]
Everything i hope for at the moment is that they will change the station animation. Tracked rides, logflumes and rafting rides are normally capacity monsters. Even when you make them as slow as possible it is a problem for me.
I am really hoping for the second station (exit station) we had a glance at Alpha 1. Hope we can put the fast pass entrance at a normal path. I had numerous times now that fastpass buyers could not enter because the line was full.
Also still missing some further small family rides like the carousel or the whirly rig. (Or an conversion feature for flats from RCT3 [squeeeeee])

There already is a carousel but it's more like a kiddie carousel, it's called a Venetian carousel and there are two on Morey's Piers in Wildwood, NJ. Maybe there will be a regular carousel in the future. What is a whirly rig? A spinning ride? We already have a bunch of those. But ones we are missing are rotor, round up, thunder bobs, musik express, gravitron for example. RCT3 had most of those.
Personally, as I already talk in this forum, I really hope for:
- competition against other(s) park(s)
- interesting career mode when I start small in a carnival and grow bigger
- random events (staff sickness, rides inspection when I can choose to proactively or not replace a part)
- weather

I was more thinking about current most common like the Magic Bike, Spring Tower, Balloon Tower, Barnstormer, Bee Bee Swing Up, Dactilus, Freestyler or something. The list is endless. Don't care which. non inverting, small, family, not funfair or funfair looks.....

I'm not worried about throughput in the station as most rides depart in the space of 20 seconds which is faster than most rollercoasters and rides. Changing the throughput would reduce q times which would be a shame plus guests would use up their money faster.
I think that the real question about the next update is how well frontier perceives the success of planet coaster. They may have a target sales figure to reach in order to sign off the next phase of development. They have sold 700k copies but whether frontier perceives this to be good or not, who knows? They have not yet released any statement to the market as far as I can see to signal whether planet coaster has met expectations or not which is a shame because that would be an indicator.

Yes please, all basic game modes that came with the very first Theme Park some 20+ years ago. The career mode (challenge) sucks and really destroys the game imo.
