Colossus

The composer writes:

"Step in, buckle up and hold on tight as you’re launched at high speed through futuristic tunnels and portals. This is no ordinary amusement park ride, at least not in present day. You find yourself strapped into a metallic cylindrical pod that seats two passengers. You and three other pods engage in an intense chase through an imaginary futuristic structure where you can shoot and destroy enemy robotic cycles. Your pod is equipped with advanced weaponry including lasers, grenades, and tasers. As each vessel zips and swerves, you’re able to pick alternate paths independent of one another. But beware as your focus fixes forward on your path because behind you lurks the mechanical monstrosity Colossus. Its structure looks like something out of an H.G. Wells novel. As Colossus closes the gap on your pod, it powers up with a horrific electromagnetic charge that can render your weapons inoperable and ensure your inevitable demise. Rest assured, it’s just a ride. Or is it?"
