Here is a drone flyover of it testing, some acid tanks have been added on the side, also looks like blade has been removed.

3 weeks seems like a tight target to get all the theming in place, but they must know what they're doing.
Are we moving away from details and intricacies in design, and instead moving towards bland colour blocking? What story are they trying to convey? Is the green supposed to represent acid?
I'm struggling to fit it into the overall phalanx and alien story of the valley as well. Is it the alien that's trying to toxicate you? If so, why is it green and so far departed from the colour identity of Nemesis?
Is it the phalanx? Why would they want/need to toxicate people?

The Phalanx/Nemesis story has never exactly been clear in my opinion. They got away with it in the 90s as people didn't care *that* much, and it was just a singular ride.
Now, they've added so many layers with Sub Terra, Nemesis Reborn, Compound scare maze, fireworks show and now this. Are the Phalanx good guys trying to protect against aliens? Are they bad guys trying to harness the power of aliens? Did they bring Nemesis to earth? Do they like the public, or loathe them? Why are they so shouty?
As for the aesthetic of Toxicator... it's a simple, harsh look. I imagine that's the point, because it's a military-related thing which (after a quick Google) is apparently separating acidic drool from the Nemesis Creature. And that's fine in its own right. The issue comes for me in that it means we've got 2 themes of the park which are government agencies doing stuff.
TPW pointed out what look like video screen panels covering the tanks so i'd assume so kind of acid effect

The plans listed the pools and support towers as theming elements, and whilst the official video seems to be careful not to show the two towers, the drone flyovers suggest that they are indeed already themed as tanks, with pipework.
I think that's the sun shining on them, could be wrong, but I haven't seen anything to convince me that I am yet. I do see pipework etc though, they seem to be themed as tanks, so it wouldn't be a bad idea.
EDIT: My apologies, just seen what Shawn is referring to (Just watched his video from today) does look like video screens to be fair, but weirdly placed, just at the top and covered in physical pipes.
