I love this coaster, it is easily one of the best uses of space I have ever seen on a knex model. I am bad with names, so the only thing I can think of that reminds me of this coaster is "Black Panther" and "Black Ice"
I hope you don't mind if my next coaster I make is going to be a spiral lift hill coaster, but if it does I will change my plans.( it won't be for the winter contest.)

If you haven't seen a film called "Ice Twisters", I recommend you see it. It's so hilariously bad that you should name your coaster after it, then bring it up in every conversation, then worship it, then preach it and live your life in the name of it and...

Oh yeah and that shaping looks a lot better.

This coaster looks fantastic. It has such a good lay-out for such a small space, and the shaping is flawless. How many inversions does it have?

5 inversions. On the other hand you should call it Arctic Drift.

I'm surprised you had room left for theming.

I honestly did not expect that at all considering the amount of space you had left to build with. This is one of the wackiest layouts I've seen on a winter coaster, but also the nicest! The theming for the coaster looks nice as well.

Edit: I just realized that there was more updates before this one showing pictures of the layout. I'm so smart...

Can't wait to see it running. :)

There is some small bits of snow on the supports/trees. Thanks

There has been very few spiral lift coasters, I'd love to see more of them!

I watched the trailer for that movie. I think i'll save it for a day when I'm so bored I can't think of anything else to do, haha. Thanks!

Maarten got it with 6.

3 car trains. For snow I got some bags of 'snow sheets' or 'snow blankets.' They were pretty much like 2' x 6' sheets of snow. I also had a bag of tiny cotton balls that I sprinkled everywhere.

I loved Halo 3, and Snowblind was one of the maps. You sold me. Thanks!

This model just looks fantastic and professional, from the snowy theming to the colors of the track. The layout gets a little crazy at the end, but it's impressive how much you fit into the space. This is exactly the thing I was hoping to see in this year's Winter Contest!

Honestly, this is my new favorite winter coaster. You did such an amazing job on this, I can't express how much I love it.

Edit: Is that a new camera you used? The video quality is fantastic.
