  For this I received 71.54 points, so it hasn't added up correctly.

  I see what you mean. I had hoped it would've added up by now after recalculating but apparently it hasn't. Only geewhzz will know the reason for this.

  It's refreshing to see a solid sci-fi sort of 'fantasy' parkmaking drop in right after the most realistic design ever. I thought the level of theming was spot-on, keeping the spotlight on the coaster, which is really what I think designs should be about. As coasters go, it was far from the best I've ever seen, though it's certainly one of the only great fliers to come along and the layout did a nice job of stretching what a real company (B&M) would do with a ride (based on what already exists in reality), without going overboard that. My main complaint is that it limited your inversions to pretty much just barrel rolls, which as nicely done as they were, made for a fairly repetitive layout.
  
  The coaster election was quite electrifying and several of the buildings had incredible structure that reminded me greatly of some of the architecture shown by Blitz-Sama, Mala, and Darkjanus at different times back in the PT2 era. The custom supports, queue line, switch track and general intelligent use of "realistic details" really helped Alien's function as both a visual theme piece and, quite beautifully I might add, as an actual coaster.
  
  I think between Kumba and this we've witnessed the best two designs in a row in quite some time. Both stuck to their guns, and pulled out awe-inspiration and musefully inspirational examples of what they aimed for. I'd have judged this a 16 or 17 if I'd judged... Really solid.

  I wouldn't really call it fantasy, it's just a realistic park with a sci-fi theme

  I'm really loving the Past B&M Flyers sent in in the few years (Chimei, Hammerhead, The Hidden Pond, Etc) but this takes the cake hands down. I really like heartline effects, and the layout is pure-Legit... Looks like something that would really be made if a park had a million dollars for theming.\

  ^Wow its nice to be compared to those and I don't see how this any better but for me there is only one and true king of flyers and that is still Salga by mr.Geewhzz himself imo, but thanks anyway^^, the layout was originally designed for a Universal chain park so that's why I kept to pretty standard inversion and other element for realism sake...
