In this case, the long twisty tunnel is necessary for operator safety. Even if you're not in the beam itself, anything within direct line-of-sight is getting irradiated by various secondary effects. Having a few right-angle turns in the entry and exit tunnels mitigates this to acceptable levels.

You can tell that's absolutely what its for because right after the turn you start seeing the static from the electrons messing with the camera.

It also provides a natural place to hide loading screens between levels! ;-)

You just know that snow effect is an asset-swap. ;)

Secondary effect like electron ricochet?
