**** me, that was quick.

It looks quite fun. I'd like to give it a ride one day. I still have yet to ride the new 6 seater cars (but to be fair, I've only ever rode one Eurofighter)
 
My lord that color scheme looks terrible but in terms of construction.. this amount of time for total construction doesn't seem too far from what it could take. The track isn't that long and if you did 3-4 pieces a day.. 3 weeks is very doable.
 
The ride is testing!

Loefet already has posted pictures of the trains in the Fuji-Q topic. But I thought it was worthwhile to post them here as well (pictures taken from screamscape):

Looks like a little NASA Orbital Vehical (seee I didn't call it a space shuttle!) whizzing... a bit slowly... around that track. Kinda cut RCTesque trains
 
I was really skeptical about this ride for a while now, and unfortunately, it didn't get any better than I thought it was going to be. The entire ride just looks poor. Even the shaping of the elements is bad.
 
I think at least the trains look promising. The lap bar only restraints on Blue Fire added a lot to the ride so I'll assume the lap bars will greatly enhance the experience of the Euro Fighters as well!
 
Ugh. Those fin things on the edge of the car are HORRID. Still, looks like a pretty fun coaster!
