Going in Circles (+2)

I decided I might as well post my version of Ravon's idea, as previously posted here, with a view to submitting it to the holds board.

It's a series of identical rooms creating an infinite cycle.
Or something like that.

See this page for further clarification.

Am open to criticism and alternate hold name suggestions.

Re: Going in Circles (+1)

Lower section: Nice pair of trips through the room, with lynchpin. I'm not a huge fan of needing to restore to change sword orientation for the second time through, but I understand the need to prevent backtracking here.
2nd section: A good puzzle once, but repetitive twice since there's really no variation with the first two mirrors.
Middle: Great! Two very different approaches.
4th section: Interesting puzzle, although clearly only supposed to be interesting the first time around; took a little while to figure out what the problem was with the initial sword orientation. Might be slightly more interesting if there were a way to have the briar delayed just enough to allow exit the second time around rather than making it not grow at all.
Top: Less interesting than the others (at least until the end of the second trip through, which was neat).
Finale: It's nice to be able to clear the sucker at the end.

All solutions are consistent with the hints (although I hope nobody repeats the goblins ten times...)
